Politicians use tax code to for social engineering

As a former tax professional in two different states, Amanda understands the punitive nature of our current tax laws and how politicians on every level use the current tax code to meet their specific goals and the social engineering projects they deem worthy. With every new rule, regulation and tax, the power and responsibility of the individual to contribute to the local and regional economy is diminished. Every dollar taken out for income taxes on an individual is a dollar that cannot be used to buy goods and services. We must restore the power and responsibility of the individual to invest in our economy in the ways they deem best for them. How do we do this?

Enact the Fair Tax right away
Reduce spending to at least 1998 levels (but 1992 or earlier levels would be preferable)
Repeal the 16th Amendment
Eliminate any and all forms of double taxation
Eliminate the anti-competitive corporate income tax
Eliminate the punitive estate tax
