But the income tax is probably the most progressive element of our government. Now, his ideal government could probably get by on a taxstream not based on income since his ideal government would really have any programs to fund, but assuming one wants both an active involved government and no income tax, all of the alternatives are likely to be much more regressive.

I'm just glad to have a libertarian getting some air time. Even if he is a kook in the Illuminati/NWO direction of things.

True, but a step up from the guy who ran for California governor whose pet issue was the right to own ferrets as pets.

But I know plenty of libertarians who don't go into the Illuminati/NWO stuff so I'll keep hoping for one of them to somehow get some prominence.

In all the liberal fawning over Ron Paul I've not yet seen anybody notice that he is pro-life and would see Roe v. Wade overturned (he doesn't feel the pro-life agenda should be set at the federal level, though, and would leave it to individual states).
