I may be mistaken but don't the Russians have a national sales tax. I've heard their new tax system seems to be working well.

This would be HUGE!!! If it were true (I don't think it is) it would cement the repubs in power for decades to come

If Bush gets rid of the IRS, I will be sorely tempted to move to the United States.

I am on record as reluctant and skeptical Bush voter. (I would have preferred Forbes.)
However, if Bush pulls this off, I'll come a callin' to the White House dressed in a thong, blue dress, and a black beret.

... Pres. Bush is considering a total re-write of the tax code ... Cool, and overdue. I hope he wipes away the estate tax, the marriage penalty, and the capital gains tax. Democrats like to welp about taxing the rich, but all they accomplish in doing so is laying off the working poor. The rich don't have to invest their wealth. They can just sit on it if they want to. By investing it, they are creating jobs, and building homes, and creating growth, and they should enjoy a return for doing so. But the ideologues like to gloat about the taxes they can raise, and can then feel good about themselves, which is all the self-righteous Democrats really care about, while ignoring the pain that their doomed schemes cause.

Wording, wording, wording.

BUSH CONSIDERING SCRAPPING THE IRS CODE!!!"Re-writing" something is not "scrapping" it.
Abolish/Repeal the 16th!
Scrap it, don't rewrap it!

Take out a clean sheet of paper. The crap we have now was written for special interest. It's totally unfair. Scrap it, scrap it, scrap it.

I've spent too much productive time on this topic. I said all I have to say this time for anyone reading. And the thread is getting too large.
Another time.

Bush is considering a total re-write of the tax code and that SecTreas O'Neill is strongly pushing a national retail sales tax!This in the sales business is called, bait and switch.
It says Bush is considering a total re-write of the tax code. What exactly does that mean? It could give the rich, or the poor, more or less tax breaks, plus it doesn't give any indication of a time line.
It goes on to say O'Neil is strongly pushing a NRST. How much would that be. 7%, 10%, 20%, like in some European countries.. People, I wouldn't lose too many nights sleep, thinkg about the tax you are going to save.
I would be wondering what would happen if everything I bought retail would be taxed again, for the 14th time.

I have to think that this is nothing more than red meat being thrown out to the conservative wing of the GOP as a sop; I seriously doubt that Bush intends to continue his policy of perpetual-war-for-perpetual-peace, and at the same time eliminate the income tax; even replacing it with a sales tax, we would need to make massive cutbacks in government spending. Bush has never done anything to reduce the size of the federal government. Of course I will be happy to be proved wrong on this.

Good news! The local landfill is willing to accept the IRS's Code and NOT classify it as TOXIC WASTE!

Whoa. Good news! Hope it's true. Oust the IRS. Think of all the money we'd save in taxes if we could get rid of this big albatross around our necks.
To: Tree of Liberty
Gawddamn. As another poster wrote, if Bush got this done he'd go on Rushmore. I'm hoping . . . but I ain't holding me breath.
