Can someone source me a chart that links where all the federal money comes from? (Personal and business income tax, sales tax, etc.) I am curious as to if it would be possible to eliminate the federal income tax and still effectively run the government as it currently is.

Oh, God... D, please tell me you didn't just now revive the old \"Income Tax\" debate.

Don't need any charts. The answer is an easy yes.
The IRS is just the government's acronym for \"Human ATM Machines\".
It's not old, the IRS still exists! It's pretty current.

Are we to presume the government
is effectively run even with the income tax?

The fact that they feel they have enough income to wage wars on the Middle East suggest a strong yes!
