This thread is about the IRS and the the corruption inherent in an income tax system. The Flat Income Tax is an income tax and the FIT will require an IRS to “administer” it. IRS will probably grow even more fangs with a FIT than it already has.
BTW, I have no interest in following the links on your home page to find out what your beliefs are re: taxation. You could have stated them up FRont and saved us this discussion.
I agree that “Taxation is not nearly the economic problem that spending and regulation are.”
Of the three, taxes happen to be the subject that I am most interested in.
I agree that government, at all levels, needs to be severely downsized.

You asked for sources when I said that tax-exempt charities were using that status for racketeering purposes in post 49. I offered those sources here. You apparently didn't read it.

I did, and I told you so here. That means you are willing to ignore reality in order to pretend that you have an argument. That's fundamentally dishonest.

Because taxation will be sufficiently large to cause people to cheat. When they cheat, the IRS or their State equivalent (in your fantasy dream world) will enforce, and that includes audits every bit as intrusive as today. In fact (if you knew anything about a "friendly" visit from the State Board of Equalization), they already do it in States with sales taxes. Hence, your bald-faced assertion that a Fare Tax will do anything to reduce intrusiveness by the IRS is completely fantastic.

Dream on; your priorities are completely wacked. As far as I am concerned, you are therefore a danger to liberty. I'm done with you.
