The Tax Code must go. Our labor, our savings, our investments all taxed. Our boat, our goat, our vote all taxed. Our sweat, our thrift, our future all taxed. Beam me up. Tax this. It is time to replace the socialist Income Tax Code in America with a simple flat 15 percent sales tax. No more forms, no more lawyers, no more accountants, no more IRS and, once again, Congress will restore liberty, true liberty, in America. I yield back with the slogan ``the Tax Code must go.''

Editor's note · Context

Advocating for the repeal of the Income Tax Code and the implementation of a flat sales tax.
