LOL!
Getting rid of the IRS is not as crazy today as it was several year ago! Sounds good to me!
But realistically speaking, so close but still so far.
The IRS is nothing but the Gestapo wing of the Democrat-Communist Party and a malignant cancer of an out-of-control and lawless federal government. They can harass, steal, imprison or destroy you with impunity. It must be obliterated into a billion pieces.
Add Obamacare to that and everyone I’ll be ecstatically happy
“We need to pass fundamental tax reform making our tax code simpler, flatter, fairer,” he said Monday at Heritage Action’s 2015 conservative policy summit. ”And I’ll tell you, the single most important tax reform, we should abolish the IRS.”
Add Obamacare to that and everyone will be ecstatically happy
Cut every line item in the budget by 25% with the exception of the military. Each year that number will decrease by 10% until every line item in the budget is reviewed and voted on with a 2/3 majority across both houses.
This should be done during non-presidential election years, maybe even by the same electoral vote method.
Yeah, it would be hard to make it a non-partisan office, but it would be a considerable improvement over a hyperpartisan non-accountable IRS.
“if Obama were to agree to adopting a “flat tax” on “incomes” (profits, gains, salaries, interest, wages, tips, etc.) which I believe is what Senator Cruz is in favor of, the IRS would have to remain intact”
NOt really, I think the Russians have a 12% flat tax on income. Taken out payroll deduction, no need to even file. Once in a lifetime mortgage deduction is the only time you need to file.
But id prefer no taxes except a sales tax. You don’t spend, you don’t pay. That combined with a tariff system.
Senator Cruz needs to add an additional paragraph of what will replace the IRS. No matter what simplification of the tax code that is made, there still must be a mechanism to fund the federal government.
Enforcement of that law must by its very nature be a federal responsibility. It has to be to stop tax evaders.
The bottom line is that the IRS cannot be abolished. But it can be so thoroughly reconstructed that it will stop being an oppressive leviathan. Nobody will ever love the beast, but kept in its cage, it will at least be tolerable.
We need Ted Cruz for President in the worst way.
The moment the federal reserve acts of 1913 became law, the US became a vassal state. Overnight the Federal Government morphed into the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Abolish the IRS.
How often has that slogan been repeated without any result?
None will come of it, this time. Just bluster and big talk.
Agreed, This would do two very important things. The terror of the individual citizen having the einsatzgrouppen coming after them if they step out of line cold no longer be used as a club to bludgeon them into submission and the information harvested through the need for income determination would no longer need to be given to those who wish to use it against their political enemies.
i.e. freedom would expand
I would favor a three tiered approach: income tax, property tax and sales tax.
Income taxes on payroll and investment income. Federal property tax to cover infrastructure related programs and a sales tax for commerce related programs.
All fixed rates, very simple to administer, and “fair” since that evil 1%er will pay big numbers on the $10M home, new Benz and caviar. And the middle class will only pay on the $100k home, new Honda and steaks for the grill.
I think it was interesting that last week GA senators David Perdue and Johnny Isakson presented a bill to adopt the fair tax to the Senate. Frankly I was shocked. I didn’t think Isakson even knew what the Fair Tax was. It may be that there’s a game afoot to get rid of the IRS. They keep cutting IRS funding. It definitely needs to go.
As often as we hear: "We're going to take America back".
And it's always just the opposite result.
This guy’s the one.
Section 3 is EXACTLY the way the Federal government is to funded if using anything other than tariffs and fees.
No direct federal reach into the citizens wallets.
