For those disappointed with the tax proposals offered thus far by Bush and Kerry, check out the tax views of Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik. As blogged by The Curmudgeonly Clerk, Badnarik says he will do this on his first day as President:

Issue another valid executive order to my subordinates executives working for the IRS. That order would instruct them to come to work, make a pot of coffee, and begin working on their resumes’ pending a federal grand jury investigation as to the legitimacy of the Sixteenth Amendment and the Internal Revenue Code. High ranking officials from that department would be closely monitored as flight risks, pending indictments for fraud in the event that evidence proves that they knew that no statute exists that requires Americans to fill out a 1040 form and relinquish a significant percentage of their hard earned money to an unconstitutional government that refuses to operate within a budget.
