Income tax in modern form came into being only in 1913 through the 16th Amendment. For most of the first 137 years of our Republic, we had no income tax at all. We need to return to our roots.
The concept of an income tax is flawed both in practice and theory. Taxing consumption rather than income allows the unfettered accumulation of wealth, encouraging production; you pay taxes only when you s...

added a quote
"When Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, he exposed the world to a momentous discovery . For the first time in history, human beings were seen not as creatures of divine origin, but instead, as a product of nature, an animal like every other on the planet. Imagine yourself back in that amazing year. The day before Darwin’s book was published, you wake up thinking yourself the image of God; the next morning you realize you have the face of a monkey. Not everybody immediately embraced this rude demotion from god to goat."

added a quote
"Human beings are not inevitable, and our brief existence is not preordained to be extended into the distant future. If Homo sapiens is to have a continued presence on earth, humankind will reevaluate its sense of place in the world and modify its strong species-centric stewardship of the planet. Our collective concepts of morality and ethics have a direct impact on our species’ ultimate fate."

“Associated with this weight gain are increased risks
in adulthood for joint problems, angina, high blood pressure, heart
attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes and, ultimately, premature death.
Outside of the human costs, health experts estimate that treating
adult obesity-related ailments will cost the American economy
nearly $150 billion in 2009.”

“That we need help is easy to see every time we walk down the street.
The experts confirm what the obscured view in front of us tells us.
They estimate that 64% of adults in the United States are obese and
that this percentage is growing. Even our children are being affected,
as nearly every one in three American children under the age of 18
is overweight.”

The reviews are starting to come in for Calorie Wars! Here is one added this weekend - Thank you William Huffman!-
"Finally a look at weight control that is common sense. I know it is probably not what some overwight individuals want to hear that there is no miracle drug or diet that can addrese our problems. Disipline!!
The three (actually four)simple rules make so much sense. For one, I was concentrating mostly on Rule 2: Choose food well, and forgetting about rule 1: Eat less. Quanity does matter.
I recommend this read for anyone, even those not obese, but who want a healthy life style and still enjoy good food.
Thanks to the authors for this "simple" insight."
