I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately I don't think this will ever happen. Entire industries are dependent on filing tax returns and the complexity involved.
The other thing that worries me is.....when has any federal agency ever been abolished? The IRS being put out of business?
Well here's hoping, but I seriously doubt it, sad to say.
Thats an easy solution. Take all of the accountants and irs agents and put them to work at the border, keeping illegals out.
And therein lies the problem. Too many people that sit back and bemoan the status quo, and yet do little to change it.
For the time being - government actually DOES work for us, although I admit that those days are numbered. If you want to take back control of YOUR government, then You/WE have to do something about it, and the BEST way to do that is via the purse strings.
Congress may control the purse strings in regard to federal spending, but WE control the purse stings to congress - or at least we should. With the IRS and the Charlie Foxtrot that is our very broken tax code, THEY actually control us.
Think they'll put up a fight to keep the status quo - you're damn right they will, but we best make our voices heard now, LOUD AND CLEAR - time IS running out.
