Of course it would be nice to eliminate the income tax–there was a reason the Founders believed a capitation tax was problematic: it was inimical to limited government.
But, I wonder about the prudence of using Rand as our model. She is not, perhaps, the most prudent use of argumentation against the modern state, in part because hers is fiction–do we really expect the savvy business leaders to, in effect, go on strike to teach the “looters” a lesson? And do we really want the the childless world (Whittaker Chambers) that she presents?
Rand and other free marketers have much in common–I am not sure Rand advances the ball to the goal either desires.
