The only solution to the Internal Revenue Service abuses against conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status is to repeal the 16th Amendment, end the income tax and close down the IRS, tax attorney Cleta Mitchell testified Wednesday to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
“The IRS is such a corrupt, rotten and broken agency that it cannot be repaired,” she said.
“I am convinced the IRS has used FEC filings of political contributions to go after individuals who contributed to Gov. Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign. The IRS is lying when IRS officials testify there is no targeting going on to the disadvantage of conservative politicians and conservative groups.”
The three other expert witnesses testifying Wednesday argued that the IRS has no business regulating political speech.
“Get the IRS out of the ‘speech police business’ as soon as possible,” David Keating, president of the Center for Competitive Politics, testified. “The IRS has proved it is incompetent at policing speech.”

I think the presidential candidate running on this platform will win in a land slide
Excellent idea!
Can you imagine if you were able to take home even half of that money? You’d spend, save etc.

The cycle would help the economy like the Japanese 5 year plan
I’d think so, too, but the Democrats and their media co-conspirators would turn it into an attack on “the Poor and Unfortunate.”
People don’t like big changes, even good ones.
Sort of like when your checkbook is so hopelessly messed up you chuck it in a drawer and go open a new account at some other bank.
Don't forget--half the people pay no income taxes. Many in lower income bracket get tax credits. They love their free stuff.
it’s not just the IRS.
This mooselimb Marxist punk has placed his minions throughout the federal gub mint including the military.
We ought to scrap the whole federalies and start over with folks we trust to do right not just go after conservatives.
This is a criminal and a criminal federal gubmint.
“Reforming” the IRS is analogous to putting the best topical antiseptic bandaid known to Mankind on a late-term Ebola victim.
Bush had the right idea with the “kinder, gentler IRS”, but Obama’s arrogance, stating with appointing tax-cheat Geither to head the agency was amazing.
Correct! But look deeper. It is not just the IRS, it is EVERY Federal Agency. The entrenched civil service worker marfia in every agency - IRS, VA, BLM, etc., etc., etc. These people cannot be fired and are dem operatives operating on the inside. The worst part is that they give minimal, or less work and service, and don't give a damn. If we're ever going to get serious about balancing the budget, the Federal government has to shrink dramatically and it has to start with them!
Then you increase sales tax which affects everyone.
Then put it in the county dump for the trash it is.
ATF mist corrupt. They have a very high body count?
How do you propose to pay for those things that Government can do relatively well?
Abolish it
There are other ways to raise taxes. Just like there are other ways to get medical care without Obamacare.
