Why on earth is Koskinen still the Commissioner at IRS? Trump should have fired him forthwith.

Trump is being audited so he can’t fire Koskinen and I think Koskinen will audit Trump for the next 4 years

“Given the amount of criticism the IRS has received regarding its targeting practices, it is hard to believe the agency has not yet taken the steps needed to remedy the problem,”

This is simply a tradeoff. Is the grief they get from having this policy in place worth the bad financial effect this has on conservative groups? The answer is yes.

I am of the opinion that the Federal taxes should be divided such that each Senator and each Representative would be assigned an equally distributed tax burden. Total budgeted costs into two equal buckets.... The senator tax and the representative tax. The senator tax would then be divided by the number of senators (currently 100) and the representative tax would be divided by the number of representatives. Each state would then be sent a bill that is the combined total for their senators and representatives in congress. That annual bill would then be divided into monthly payments.

Each state would then be able to collect the taxes necessary to pay their bill. States with lots of millionaires and socialist leanings could raise the taxes on the rich. Other states may wish to tax tourists, fuels, home owners, etc. What ever works for that state. Federal law should require that the monthly federal tax be paid BEFORE the state is allowed so spend any tax revenue to cover state expenses.

The IRS would then be downsized to about 60 personnel (one for each state, couple of supervisors, one head). Only need to track the payments from each state.

No federal income tax
No federal FICA tax
etc

Why would they change a thing?

Still waiting for the swamp to get drained. So far all we get is democrat grandstanding, show trials, political witch hunts of republicans, and a bunch of executive orders that are getting shot down by liberal judges with no legit justification. Trump is losing momentum while the drip-drip-drip tactic of the left is starting to work. He is losing his window of opportunity to do big things before the GOPe officially joins the dems in trying to destroy him.
