NDAC is strongly opposed to socialism.

The current income tax system is a heavy burden, especially on low income earners and small businesses. Everyone pays hidden taxes on everything purchased. The burden is heavy, about 26 - 30% of the cost of every product or service you purchase. If you really care about low income earners, get Congress to pass HR25 and S1025, replacing the federal income tax system with a sales tax and prebate to cover the cost of sales tax on necessities. Under this law, low income earners will keep 100% of their paycheck, nothing will be withheld.

We strongly favor private organizations that support welfare/health functions. Numerous charity organizations exist and they are much more efficient than government. If the government would get out of the welfare business and advocate the privatization of welfare, we could have a much better system. The Key: Voluntary presentation of one's resources into community health and welfare is amazingly robust, and could be enhanced if governments did not confiscate our money without choice. It is not government's job to force me to have compassion.

Government organizations are very inefficient, wasteful, and subject to much corruption.

So NDAC is clear about this. Our choice of terminology is designed to provoke thought and consideration. Compassion, enforced by government, is coercion. You don't have a choice in the matter. And also take another look at the chart, the single largest item in the federal budget is social spending, even if you don't include Social Security.

And one more point. The current federal income tax system hurts the lower income folks more than you realize. It is grossly unfair to low income folks. Here is why. The federal government places a tax on corporate profits, but corporations do not pay taxes. It is treated as a cost, and included in the price of the product. Every product that we buy has embedded corporate income tax, about 25% or more. You don't see it on the cashier ticket, but it's there. Low income earners pay that tax just like everyone else, when they buy something. But it is a larger percentage of the low income earner's budget than of anyone elses.
