No such thing as a permanent tax cut.

Fair Tax comes close. It can happen if enough people understand it. It needs to happen.

It won't be "permanent" without a Constitutional amendment. No way in hell our 'tax & spend' representatives in the government will ever stop coming up with new and innovative ways to tax *or borrow* without the power being removed from them. It's a pipe dream, unfortunately.

Just look at our tax on breathing for proof. Lie about it not being a tax, then go in front of our Supreme Court when sued about it, claim it IS a tax, and admit flat out, "Yeah, we lied to the public so we could get it passed," in the most hallowed court in our land, and laugh your F***ing rear off all the way back to your cushy office.

F***ing scumbag POSs. They'll never change. And the game will never change without a fundamental change in the system - like rebooting.

FairTax legislation does three things that effectively dismantle the income tax: (1) it abolishes the IRS, (2) it repeals all statutory language having to do with taxing income and payroll (i.e., the Internal Revenue Code), and (3) it eliminates the filing of annual income tax returns to the federal government for over 140 million Americans. The 16th Amendment does not “require” an income tax, it only “allows” one, and the FairTax will have broken that egg in a million pieces. It would be extremely difficult to put that egg “back together again.” Once the FairTax is enacted it would be an extremely daunting task for Congress to make people start filing income tax returns again. There would be a public uproar. Once the American public has experienced the freedom from filing income tax returns it’s hard to imagine them tolerating going back. Furthermore, the sponsors of the FairTax are totally dedicated to the permanent repeal of the income tax. No current supporter of the FairTax would support the FairTax unless the entire income tax is repealed. There is a separate bill, HJR 16, which repeals the 16th Amendment to the Constitution but it must go through a different adoption process than HR 25. HJR 16 has to be passed by a two-thirds vote of members of both the House and the Senate and be approved (or ratified) by three-fourths of state legislatures (38).

No one thought the Berlin Wall would be taken down and Germany reunited....it is simply a matter of waking up enough people.
