LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist scare tactics will not work in the tax reform debate.
State sales tax agencies will oversee merchant collection of the NRST.
Go read the legislation and then come back to the debate -- it is very, very dangerous to enter into this debate unarmed, and you are unarmed, pal.
Spare me the personal insults, I'm not impressed. What you propose and what gets enacted are two different things. If you think the IRS is going to evacuate the states and live in a tree in DC, you're yet another Stepford citizen. I defy anyone to show me any federal agency a fraction the size of IRS that went away and 75 years of history of federal authority within the states getting larger not smaller is a hard trend to argue with, pal, no matter what you're armed with. Yeah, sure, the federal government is going to beg the states for money when all they have to do is redirect that army of IRS parasites to local merchants. Oh joy, they won't be in *your* face. I'll just withhold the "I told you so" when your precious, carefully crafted legislation gets shredded in Congress and what comes out looks nothing like what you put in. BTW, after you get exactly what you want from Congress, let me know when the puny ATF hands off its authority to the states and goes away. On second thought, forget it, I won't live that long.
