No doubt it would be a tough sell but it could be sold. Those are deductions so it is not a dollar for dollar return. Withholdings would be gone. Tax preparation fees gone. Cost of all goods and services down from removing tax pass alongs. No fear of audits. Reduced government spending for IRS salaries and expenses. Many more plus and minuses I cannot hope to cover here but enough I believe to make the case.
I would submit the military, the diplomatic corp, our elected leader’s salaries and costs related to the execution of their duties. I do believe there would be justifiable costs to run certain departments. I also believe those could be parred down considerably.
If our citizens were allowed to keep most of their money, we couldn’t find enough people to fill all the private sector jobs that would open up.
And I should add, the revenue stream to Washington would gush...
Bring in the Fair Tax
start the drum beat
Reform won’t do it. The agency is a giant welfare organization and practices “affirmative action” on steroids. It takes money from the productive and gives it to indolent slackers who vote democrat.
It is much more than a tax collection agency. It is the enforcer of several laws. It uses KGB tactics.
Reforming something that is corrupt won’t do it.
You don’t get it, you and everyone else who keeps screaming flat tax. NO INCOME TAXES AT ALL is what we need in this country, before the 16th was ratified we got along just fine with out an income tax. We need a national sales tax and tariffs, plus we need to reduce the size of our government. The income tax we have now started as a flat tax “only on the rich” and look what it has become. NO to income taxes of any sort.
On the one side the Republicans will want to trash the
IRS because it is beyond repair. On the other hand we
have the Democrats who believe only a minor tweaking is
needed. These are the same folks who thought that the Abu
Ghraib and Valerie Plame incidents were serious biz
while Fast and Furious and Benghazi were “sideshows”.
In my mind I don’t think there is any aspect of life that
today’s activist Democrats will not attempt to politicize
if they can milk some kind of advantage out of it at
some point and it doesn’t matter if we are talking pri-
vate organizations or government agencies....AARP,
League of Women Voters, EPA, PTA, NEA....it doesn’t
matter. If there is anything remotely political associ-
ated with it then libs want to control it....and they do.
So, whatever we do about the IRS we must remember
if we don’t address that treacherous union affiliated
with the IRS agents then we are just in for another
screwin’ down the road. Add my name to the list of
fed-up Americans who would favor sending those bastards
all to hell.
It’s operated and ran by a stinking union! There is no way it gets reformed unless the union is tossed out!
Reforming an agency like the IRS is an exercise in colossal futility. If we must keep the income tax make it 9% on every dime of personal income- no deductions, exemptions, or credits. Make the 9% Constitutional in an Amendment. No more need for IRS. The downside is the short term increase in the unemployment rolls as all those IRS folks have to go find jobs. And all those tax attorneys. Etc. Lots of money would come home from offshore.
