Trump’s tax plan keeps the IRS intact and merely tinkers with tax brackets. The IRS is fearless.
The more government I see, the truer this 43 year old quote becomes. The aphorism that immediately follows it is also truer now but puts one into despair for a solution
When a place gets crowded enough to require ID’s, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere.
As for the IRS and most of the other bureaucracy infesting our Federal Government, we have the unfortunate Civil Service Act. An understandable reaction to the old pattern of political supporters getting and losing government offices (1880s and prior) that has now become a form of tenure for bureaucrats. Given the fact that it is almost impossible to 'fire' such employees and that Democrats & Leftists are inclined by philosophy to that kind of work, we have a permanent tilt in our government workers.
My vote is to permit a new administration to replace the top 20% of Civil Service on the basis that they are actually political operatives.
Because the IRS was carrying out their will.
