I said Bush need to elimenate the IRS ans start a Sales Tax.
Hope this is true.
No national sales tax, no VAT tax. Flat tax and be done with it.

Hello snowball, meet hell.
Next to the income tax, social security is teat #2 for the ever-thirsty piglets of the jackass party. Without this free source of disposable income, their hellbent rush to socialism will be mercifully sidetracked.
It'll never happen.
yes yes yes yes yes
please please please please please please
OK, so maybe I will vote instead of getting drunk this election day. If this is for real then the GOP just got me back on board.
Without actually repealing the 16th amendment, I suspect that eventually we will end up with both a national VAT and income tax.
Title: To promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.
YES!!!! YES!!!!! YES!!!!
If only this were true. The Republicans don't have the cajones to push this through. They can't/won't/don't even defend capitalism and free markets anymore. Pussies.
seems to me as long as it's only at the national level, bfd.
there's still state, county, city, school, excise, usage fees, telephone, bottle deposit, tobacco, alcohol...
well you get the picture.
Nothing will change.
Tax reform is long overdue. But until the GOP puts its money where its mouth is...
Despite the questionability of this story, we could still try to get the WH to notice the issue and hopefully actually push for a sales tax to replace the income tax:
Andy Card's office phone at the WH: 202 456-1111 (found several...this may be incorrect...if so, just call the main WH number and ask for his office)
E-mail: acard@who.eop.gov
General e-mail: feedback@who.eop.gov
Bush campaign chair and former deputy assistant to the President (don't know if his WH addy will still work, but might as well give it a shot): Ken_Mehlman@who.eop.gov
The guy replacing Ken as deputy assistant (he meets with the President OFTEN): Matt_Schlapp@who.eop.gov
Note: some of the who.eop.gov addresses have changed from thte Firstname_Lastname form to firstinitiallastname@who.eop.gov (such as Andy Card's).....so may have to try that if the underline form does not work.
Karl Rove (have not found an e-mail, though you can try the forms above):
phone: 202-456-2369
fax: 202-456-0191
I did find an e-mail for this person in Rove's office though, Dave Thomas:
davidthomas@who.eop.gov
Of course, there is the old standbys:
President@whitehouse.gov
vice.president@whitehouse.gov
Phone: (202) 456 1414
General WH fax: (202) 456-2461
Alternate fax: (202) 456-6538
This would be a much more prosperous country, without the I.R.S.
OPs4 God BLess America!
While this would be great if it did happen, radical change such as completely getting rid of the IRS just doesn't happen overnight. Start tearing down the pillars of Liberalism by gutting and doing away with such things as the NEA and NPR/PBS and then start aiming for the IRS. I believe at this point, doing away with the IRS is all but a lofty, yet, worthwhile goal to work toward.
