Palin supports abolishing Income Tax. Maps out a Ron Paul style primary run.
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 10:47 AM by denem
Her new book is ""Heart of America" (Reuters commentary)

..her new book makes her case that she is not just a celebrity but a politician -- one with what clearly sounds like plans for a White House run...

She believes federal taxes are a Washington "power grab" which should abolished, wants prayers allowed in schools and wants to overturn what President Barack Obama sees as his biggest legislative achievement -- healthcare reform....

"America hasn't always had an income tax," she writes, noting the first such tax was in 1861 to fund the Civil War and was later repealed. "It wasn't until 1913 that the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution was ratified and the individual federal income tax that we know today was created."...

Rather than call herself Republican, Palin calls herself a "Commonsense Constitutional Conservative."

"If Democrats are driving the country toward socialism at a hundred miles per hour, while the Republicans are driving at only fifty, commonsense constitutional conservatives want to turn the car around," she writes. "We want to get back to the basics that have made this country great -- the fundamental values of family, faith, and flag."

Family, Faith, Flag and Fruitcake

No doubt she will get all the talking points she needs from Ron himself. Unlike Ron, she is unlikely to go gracefully.

1. And (God Forbid) if she were to get elected, just watch how quickly she'd flip on that one
the MIC will not allow the revenue stream to be cut off.

3. I don't want her to be quite that crazy. She needs to be just moderate enough to get the nom.
Then Obama can wipe her off the map.

8. Please
Anytime someone starts reminiscing about the Good Olden Days, a red flag should go up.

Prayer in the schools? Sounds great, if your religion is the majority faith in that community. You Muslims, Jews and atheists will just have to shut up and put up with it.

While were are at it, why not abolish child labor laws, and allow states to decide for themselves if their schools and public places should be integrated? That's what a return to the Olden Days would really mean.
