the IRS wouldn't come "Git me" (I love that expression, BTW) they would come and "Git" the shopowner. So we let the Nazis pick on the jews, takes the heat off us.
Unless there is a general clamor, there will not be any spending reductions., the best way to generate such a clamor is to strip out all the gimmicks and show people just how much they are paying.
yes, I just said to get rid of witholding. I favor monthly billing.
When's the last time you heard of a state agency arresting a shop/retail owner for not reporting the taxes they collected or for not collecting sales tax? There are some, I'm sure, but not that many. If a retailer decides to pocket the money kept for taxes, plus the administrative sum they are allowed to keep, then they should be prosecuted.
You put people's money back in their pockets and I gurandamntee you that there will be a clamor. If people were suddenly required to pay quarterlies or monthlies, there'd be a revolt that would make the Boston Tea Party actually look like a party.
