Income taxes pay public debts, on that std ridden circle jerk. Ending the reserve might be a bit extreme, if we could print our own money with no interest or stop applying interest to reserve notes, then at least the worst part is corrected.

Taxes are needed, it forces money flow. What's not needed is a bloated, over spending, out of control, run away Gov at every single level, that does very little if anything, that is truly in our best interest in todays World.
