"Mr. Speaker, in 1848, Karl Marx said, a progressive income tax is needed to 
transfer wealth and power to the state. Thus, Marx's Communist Manifesto had 
as its major economic tenet a progressive income tax. Think about it, 1848 Karl 
Marx, Communism.... I say it is time to replace the progressive income tax with 
a national retail sales tax, and it is time to abolish the IRS, my colleagues. 
I yield back all the rules, regulations, fear, and intimidation of our current 
system." -- James A. Traficant, Jr. (1941- ) U.S. Representative from Ohio
