Really hard to imagine the politicians dismantling the system they use to buy votes for themselves....unless we get a whole lot more Tea Party people elected.
Not to mention the CPAs and the tax attorneys who’d be put out of business...and a whole bunch of my co-workers in the tax dept of a Fortune 500 company. However, wouldn’t companies like Apple be more inclined to repatriate their overseas billions?
Not to say I don’t agree with abolishing the IRS - just seems highly unlikely.
It really is up to We the People.
We have, collectively, elected just enough idiots and statists to local, state and federal positions of power that they can pretty much have their way with us without fear of their jobs. If we were to get off of our collective dead asses and elect real public servants instead of the clowns, buffoons and idiots, we might solve the problem.
I will not shed any tears for tax workers displaced by FairTax. They can go look for honest jobs.
