Well that is what the bill HR25/Fairtax states.
Do you have a problem with the IRS being abolished?
"Well that is what the bill HR25/Fairtax states."
Really? It says that all IRS employees will lose their federal jobs on 1 Jan 06? Don't think so. New name, same people, different mission - NRST compliance.
"Do you have a problem with the IRS being abolished?"
No problem. Just think it's naive to believe you can fire that many federal employees. One of the most powerful lobbying organizations in Washington is the federal employees union. While this union is not particularly well represented in the DoD, it's pretty strong in most other parts of the government.
These unions are particularly strong with democrats. I would expect they would filibuster this to death in the Senate. Just look at the problems the DoD is having in trying to change it's personnel system to 'reward merit' and make it easier to dismiss for incompetence. Not one person is losing their job but the dems have this tied up in knots. And, you expect to see 100,000 lose their jobs? Not any time soon.
I would expect that one of the things that will have to be changed is the assurance that no one will lose their job in order to get this past. Now, what will these employees do in the future? The only thing they know how to do is tax related so I would expect many of them will be charged with NRST compliance. JMHO.
