From the Center for Freedom and Prosperity come two new videos dealing with taxes.<\/p>\n

The first takes a look at the costs involved in complying with our massive tax code.  Americans spend countless amounts of money and time worrying about meeting the requirements for and actually filing their taxes – money and time that could be put to much more productive use making a better life for themselves and their families.<\/p>\n

The second video makes the case for a flat tax (which is also mentioned near the end of the first video).  Let me clearly state up front that Campaign for Liberty believes, along with Congressman Paul, that we need to do completely away with all taxes on our income and that the government can still operate on budget levels seen even a little over a decade ago if there were no income tax.  Of course, returning government to constitutional levels would automatically massively reduce the budget, help one day eliminate the debt, and bring down the cost of living.  This video makes an honest, intellectual case for why the flat tax would be better than the current system, and on this day of triumph for the state, I think it’s good for us to consider all arguments as we individually defend and articulate our positions.<\/p>\n
