So the Republicans are voting on a number of non-binding resolutions in their primary this year. Most of them are fairly uninteresting, but then I got to this one:

The third proposition seeks to eliminate the federal income tax.
“In addition to aggressively eliminating irresponsible federal spending, Congress should empower American citizens to stimulate the economy by Congress cutting federal income taxes for all federal taxpayers, rather than spending hundreds of billions of dollars on so-called federal economic stimulus.”

It brings up some really good questions. But most prominent in my mind is “Are they simply ignorant of what our federal income taxes pay for or are they really willing to get rid of the military?” And if not, are they really suggesting that they would be willing to have a special military tax? That seems like a really bad idea, since if people knew what they were paying for the military they might be even more upset about our military jaunts to Iraq.
