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.
“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.
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.
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.
and the Department of Education
the obamites have weaponized it. we’ll never get it clean again. may as well blow it up and start from scratch.
Bttt
That makes sense. Didn’t have this before 16th Amendment.
IRS with their own police force may turn on the congressman and senators who espouse such an idea...
Sounds good to me....
The only real solution to the evils of the IRS is to abolish it, and go with a national sales tax, with a maximum rate of 10%. God doesn’t ask for more than 10%, so the government should be able to live with that. THe author of this article is correct that even a ‘flat’ tax would leave the IRS with it’s abuses in place.

“Honest money and honest taxation, the Key to America’s future Prosperity“___ from “Prosperity Restored by the State Rate Tax Plan”, no longer in print.
The IRS isn’t about collecting revenue - that comes from the fed reserve’s bottomless credit card. The IRS in its modern configuration exists solely as a hammer to be swung whenever elements within the population become uppity. It’s the Bureau of Law by Whim. Every American is already guilty until proven innocent. Who gets prosecuted is purely a political decision - and the courts go along with this farce.
