Stupid Taxed By Evil
Did you know of Scientology's history with the IRS? I knew that they allegedly blackmailed the director of the IRS at one time, and I knew about the FairTax bullshit national 30% sales tax plan, currently touted by Huckabee. But I never knew about the Scientology connection:
This is right from the Wall St. Journal, too. Bruce Bartlett. Yick.
For those who never heard about it, the FairTax is a national retail sales tax that would replace the entire current federal tax system. It was originally devised by the Church of Scientology in the early 1990s as a way to get rid of the Internal Revenue Service, with which the church was then at war (at the time the IRS refused to recognize it as a legitimate religion). The Scientologists' idea was that since almost all states have sales taxes, replacing federal taxes with the same sort of tax would allow them to collect the federal government's revenue and thereby get rid of their hated enemy, the IRS.
