Very fine with me
Yes! If the States just sent the federal gov’t the revenue they needed for the military and the few other things the constitution gives them authority over, just think of the freedom!
A flat tax, fair tax, or VAT would require only the tiniest IRS.
And on top of that, they would no longer have access to citizens records.
But then how will Massa Fed harvest on his tax farm?
If you send a donation to a charity fighting hunger in Africa or saving abused animals they send you a picture of a starving African picaninny or a skinny, soulful puppy dog to give you an idea of what they do with your money.
I’m writing a large (for us) check to the IRS today.
You would think the least they could do is send us back a photo of Obama’s illegal Dreamer kids in their new clothes, with their new dental braces, sitting in their hotel rooms, playing their new video games.
Or a nice photo of a moocher gang with their new Air Jordans.
“Abolish the Internal Revenue Service? IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has said the government must have an IRS to collect the taxes to fund the government.”
Actually, this is incorrect. Congress could just send a bill to the states, and let the states worry about coming up with the funding. Then the federal government has no need for a revenue agency.
I agree; but, it is part of the -money-from-thin-air- _reserve_ system; joined at the hip. That is why the _income_tax_ was passed shortly after _reserve_ was created.
Abolish the IRS?
How about the Bureau of Indian affairs?
Edumacation dept?
Interstate commerce dept?
TSA?
EPA?
and at the very least 200 other absolutely worthless gub mint agencies that are simply leaches on society.
Get rid of em all and make their worthless “employees” find real jobs.
Why 10%? Simple. God only asks for 10%, the government doesn't deserve more than the Lord.
The important discussion begins with the IRS we *need* to fund the government, and the elimination of those parts of the agency that we *do not need*.
To start with, the vast majority of the agency deals with the minutiae of the tax code. Simplify the tax code and those parts of the IRS become superfluous. However, this also puts several corporations and over a million tax preparers out of work.
