I have several beefs with the current system and IRS:
1. It promotes layers of taxation= for instance when you pay gas tax with net after tax money the cost is multiplied by the tax bracket.
2. We should not have to tell the government every detail of our income in a free country.
3. They should not use SS numbers for ID in tax system, only for the retirement plan and they should do away with that too. Its not Constitutional
4. IRS is an economic Gestapo.
5. Our economy is being stifled by the current tax system. A National Sales Tax will not cost much to implement and there is no paperwork for the consumer. Billions will be saved in paperwork and accounting and legal fees alone, not to mention the additional billions for record keeping at corporations.
6. Savings will increase without the current system.
All in all our economy will boom beyond anyone has seen in the history of the world.

Well, yes but what will all those un-needed govt. IRS employees and lawyers do then?
