“Bank at Bank of IRS and you get a 5% rebate on your purchases every year” — that would be the end

“Get rid of:

The IRS, HUD, and the most useless Dept. of all, the Dept. Of Education.” “and the EPA”

They’re all bad, but take it from an accountant, most people can’t even imagine how monstrous and oppressive the IRS is, and how much the current tax code strangles our economy.

It is the place where the government says you’re guilty until proven innocent.

The National Retail Sales Tax, or Fair Tax, is a way to take power back from the politicians and lobbyists by doing away with all the federal income taxes (personal, estate, gift, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment, and corporate taxes)

The FairTax is replacement, not reform. It REPLACES federal income taxes including personal, estate, gift, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment, and corporate taxes.

THE FAIR TAX WOULD BE THE BIGGEST TRANSFER OF POWER FROM DC BACK TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY’S HISTORY

The IRS has 25,000 agents.

They have names.

They have addresses.

Yes.

He's not asking to do all your financial transactions on line through the IRS, he's not asking that the IRS be your banker, he's only asking that you be able to get accurate advice, file your taxes, and pay or receive your refund on line.

That wouldn't be an unreasonable goal IF:

The tax structure was rational and self-consistent.

We didn't have the obamacare web site as an example of how well the government can do web sites.

And we trusted them!

I'd prefer to do my taxes that way, actually. Encryption nowadays is strong enough; just choose a strong password. From their side, they ought to use two-factor authentication: As soon as you (the user) enter your password they should send a SMS message to your phone, a code which you then enter as the second factor and voila, you're logged in.

They have something close to this online solution for businesses, but you still have to call and get permissions from the Social Security Administration to set it up.

Just checked back in - late as usual....

Homeland Security as a dept should go away altogether, and just go back to the original depts.

No more groping grandmas and little girls at airports :)
