IIRC, the Constitution Party's platform includes planks that would replace the IRS and income tax with a tariff system. That would be ugly, as would most of their other isolationist nonsense.

Stein or Anderson. I like Goode, and support his tariff plan, though Johnson is far better on economics.

I am not familiar with Goode's specific plan, but assuming it's similar to the CP's idea: how does Goode plan to implement a tariff only revenue system without exploding the deficit and causing a crippling amount of inflation?
