The flat tax won’t rid us of the IRS.
Only a NRST will do that,

or at least thwart the IRS from ruining individuals’ lives & livelihoods.

Tax would be collected just as all sales taxes are collected today, through the retailers.

[C210N]

It is a start...

When the most powerful, life ruining government agency on the planet is being used by ONE POLITICIAL PARTY as a weapon against the American people, the bass turd has got to go.

[MulberryDraw]

The income tax is pretty ridiculous. You pretty much have to hire somebody or buy software to pay it.

[BitWielder1]

Any department that becomes too big and powerful, no longer serves the country in a good way, start to do things it was never meant to do, should be abolished or at least severely cut back to it's original size and intended function.
IRS is only one of many such departments.

[Thorliveshere]

The media is really doing their dirty job on Cruz and his ideas to eliminate the IRS. My conservative-leaning MIL thought that by eliminating the IRS it would eliminate her social security, and therefore she couldn’t support Cruz.

If Cruz achieved nothing else, this would be a valuable gift to the US and our freedom, justifying his election. Homeland inSecurity needs to be disbanded as well.
