IRS Pushback Ping.
Thanks for the ping, TADSLOS.
Senator Cruz has a major problem in that ALL income tax schemes, whether “progressive” or “flat,” will require an abusive and intrusive IRS to intimidate taxpayers and ensure the tax is collected.
He needs to drop whatever income tax “scheme” he currently fancies and go all in for the FairTax! The FairTax is about FReedom, and if Senator Cruz is about FReedom, he cannot support ANY other tax scheme!
A National Retail Sales Tax (FairTax) will NOT require an IRS. It will require state sales tax collection agencies to ensure that retail businesses collect the sales tax and remit it to the government.
Under the FairTax, the IRS will be abolished! It will be replaced by an agency which will monitor and audit each of the state taxing agencies charged with collecting the sales tax.
Bottom line: Under the FairTax, no individual American will have to undergo an audit ever again. NEVER!
Audits will be conducted, to be sure, but on businesses rather than individuals. And by state sales tax collection agencies, not Federal.
We will never again be a FRee people so long as we have an income tax and an IRS!
