Now, I'm not saying I want ararchy but I am saying I want the US government to reflect what the original drafters of the constitution intended. As a matter of fact in 1894 the Supreme Court ruled the income tax unconstitutional.
It isn't government I don't trust... it is the members of government that this it is a job, a way to gain power and such. Career senators and congresspeople is what scares me. We should have term limits and you are not allowed to run again... if I couldn't be a Congressman for more than 4 years... lobbyist would have alot less leverage over me.

Erm.... Shouldn't you then try to work for a major reform of the way your government works? As far as I can see, the alternative you seek would end in anarchy.
Personally I wouldn't want to see USA going anarchist - it is a large economy and the influence USA has on the world economy is crucial enough for me to want sensible, intelligent, moderate people to run the country. By way of its size, USA has a great responsibility outwards as well as inwards.
