" The Fair Tax Act requires the IRS to be abolished by defunding it per Title III Section 301. "

1. ... and the entity that ensures that the Fair Tax is collected and will be paid is called...?????

2. Congress passes the tax laws. IRS implements them. Will Congress be abolished?

3. IRS is a "straw man" for Congress to beat up as the "bad guy". Even when IRS is correct, Congress forces them to confess to errors or Congress keeps going etc.

4... and who enforces Title 26 with God only knows how many sections,and what will they be called? All the 'old" law violations will be thrown out?

5. Congress is almost entirely ALL lawyers. The more complex the law the more lawyers are needed. Dealing with IRS requires a Lawyer(s) or an Accountant. All tax appeals to tax court (more Lawyers posing as judges) require a Lawyer - ad nauseum.

I am sure there are a myriad of reasons the Fair Tax won't be passed, but no sense destroying the dream of many who appropriately hate making out ever more complex tax returns.

Do you honestly believe Congress, which continuously passes complex laws with loop holes for "contributors" (read bribers, conflict of interest etc) will do away with the legal profession's full employment guarantees? If the legal profession were about right and wrong and correcting injustice, it should be Socialized.

By your line if thinking there is no sense passing anymore legislation because the fix is in by all the lawyers in Congress. It is this defeatist attitude that has allowed to some extent and would continue to allow the select few who run the government to do so with impunity. The recent uproar by the people against passing legislation granting amnesty to illegal immigrants should be an example for your short memory of the power people have over Congress. Fair Tax supporters realize politicians don't lead, they follow. Americans For Fair Taxation have been applying increasing pressure on those politicians to either support the Fair Tax or be prepared to lose their jobs. The same grassroots effort has been gaining significant momentum with The Fair Tax and will continue.

With respect to the "Fair Tax",

1. ... and the entity that ensures that the Fair Tax is collected and will be paid is called...?????

You still haven't bothered to read the bill. As I have stated in previous posts the already existing Treasury Department will enforce tax collection.

2. Congress passes the tax laws. IRS implements them. Will Congress be abolished?

You can remain in a state of denial if you choose but the fact remains once The Fair Tax is passes it will become law, as any legislation that passes, and therefore per the section I quoted you in my previous post to you will cut off funding to the IRS after January 1, 2011.

The IRS is the "badman" as you state. It is used by Congress more as a tool to punish and control the people than to merely collect taxes.

5. Congress is almost entirely ALL lawyers. The more complex the law the more lawyers are needed. Dealing with IRS requires a Lawyer(s) or an Accountant. All tax appeals to tax court (more Lawyers posing as judges) require a Lawyer - ad nauseum.

Then why don't you do sometning about it if you're so disgusted with the whole process instead of simply complaining? You rail against the Fair Tax but you don't offer any prorposals of your own to change the system! It is this very type of attitude that has incrementally ceded the people's power to Congress over many decades and caused the incresing socialism in this country. Washington would never have corssed the Delaware with your defeatist attitude.
