THE EVOLUTIONARY ARGUMENT AGAINST THE INCOME TAX
[This Monday’s Archive was originally published on November 10, 2004. It still applies to today even more so. Perhaps Trump or RDS could start promoting it, for the current version via FairTax.org recognizes it won’t work with the repeal of the 16th Amendment.]

A number of people in Congress have suddenly become very interested in an obscure scholarly article in the October 1, 2004 issue of Science magazine, America’s premier scientific journal. Written by UCLA paleobiologist Blaire Van Valenburgh and her colleagues, it’s entitled “Cope’s Rule, Hypercarnivory, and Extinction in North American Canids”.
What knocked off all the “megafauna” that flourished since yet exist no longer? Giant ground sloths, woolly mammoths, cave bears, saber-toothed tigers, giant Irish elks, dire wolves, and bone-crushing dogs?
Well, the larger a carnivore becomes, the more dependent it is on very large prey. You can see how this applies to the entire tax structure of the federal government. The US Government is a hypercarnivore, dependent upon the tiniest fraction of its subjects for tax-food.
