Let’s be serious, as much as I dislike the IRS, there has to be an entity who collects our taxes ( even with a pure flat tax or a sales tax ).

Taxes? If the fedgove did ONLY what authorized in the Constitution, it could be funded by tariffs. Maybe the states could kick in for the military.

I suppose that before the 16th amendment (Income Tax/1913) was ratified we were all in a quandary as to how the government would collect its tribute? It was actually very simple. They just followed the Constitution.

We should do the same. If there is a more useless, unconstitutional government entity than the IRS I would like someone to point it out to me.

We must get to a balanced budget quickly with the elimination of departments. I would end EPA and OSHA letting the state agencies in those areas take over responsibility.

I don’t know if Paul’s plan is quick enough, but its better than the business as usual politicians plans.

Paul’s budget kills four government agencies: the departments of Commerce, Education, Housing and Urban Development, and Energy.

Now all we need to do is cut the enforcement budget of the EPA and we are off to a really go start. As Levin says it is the private sector destruction agency.

Just what I said!! yes indeed. Bring the fedgov back to its mandated constiutitonal duties and it will need very little $.

The problem I have with Paul Ryan and his budgets is that he can never bring himself to name even one govt agency he can bear to shut down.

Neither of them voted for it according to post #7. Why are we not surprised?

“Nothing” is good. Abolish the income tax. Abolish the IRS.

Yup! Establishing a tax on incomes was probably the dumbest thing....we as a nation....have ever done. Then to compound the stupidity we allowed those nitwits (Congress) to implement withholding.....so we wouldn't feel the pain!

Dumb! Just dumb!

Thanks for posting this list. Those Senators should be considered as a base for the Conservative Party, a new beginning.

The DOE is a piece of crap! I believe it was started back in the Carter administration.... that alone should be enough to kill it, including any so-called national defense components, which can be absorbed by the DOD without any added funding. While we are at it, I wish the entire remaining federal gubmint (State, DOJ, HUD, Commerce, Census, DOD - Pentagon staff), and the Exec branch & the corrupt judicial branch would all be instantly cut & laid off by 50%. And cut salaries across the board by 25% and cap retirement at 30% of the average of last 5 years of gubmint employment for the entire fed gubmint including elected officials, judiciary & POTUS & exec branch. Just cut the hell out of the bloated fed gubmint.

Not a bad start. Which ones are you going to eliminate next year?
