If income taxes DEMAND and enforcement arm, and we are assured they do, then so long as the USA has ANY form of income tax, be it a Marxist inspired progressive one or a economist inspired flat one, the most odious manifestation of our insanity will remain in place.
The IRS MUST be abolished if we are to ever be a FRee people again!
FairTax is the only way to do that!
Please don’t let the prebate be a show-stopper for you. Cast your economit’s eye upon the legislation (H.R. 25 @ https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/25/text; read it and think it through. I think you’ll like it.
While the Fair Tax may allow the IRS to disappear, something will replace it to make sure the Fair Tax is administered and collected properly. Simply changing from an income tax to a consumption tax doesn’t change the fact that it’s a tax. It’s far better than what we have now, but it still going to be a tax, it just shifts the burden from producers to consumers. And that is better than what we have now.
