Your points are valid, but in all honesty, almost anything is better than what we have now.

Nothing is perfect, but the current system is an unmitigated mess, and like someone else said, is a "walking due process violation".

The IRS is the world's most powerful law enforcement agency ... and they get their own code wrong 40%-70% of the time.

What chance does the average Joe have.

Anything is better than the current setup.

I don't like the IT either, and I would tell you what I think of the IRS if I wasn't paranoid! However, I believe the flat tax is the way to go.

Incidentally, many here think the IRS will disappear, not realizing that the IRS is responsible for the collection of ALL Federal taxes other than custom duties. The IRS will be in charge of and Sales Tax collection -- you can bet on that!
