Ron Paul, amidst his tin-foil hat antics, actually made a good argument about the illegality of the IRS.

The big one is getting back to the US Federal Government having LIMITED powers.
Which true tax reform would be part of that equation.

The “fair” tax would be worse slavery than we already have.

Sales taxes let the truly rich (that don’t work, or participate in our earned ‘economy’) get off completely untaxed.

You don’t need to repeal that which was never passed in the first place...

10 States are on record of not ratifing the 16th amendment so it would only take 3 more States.

Face it, to do what you want would require changing this whole GOVERNMENT, not just abolishing the IRS. And by change, I mean historically dramatic change.

No flat tax. Consumption tax is the only fair tax.

My thoughts about a “Fair Tax” versus a Flat Tax:

“The Unfair Double Tax on the Assets of Prudent Savers under the current Fair Tax Proposal”

Any double taxation of taxpayers is intrinsically unfair, unjustifiable, and ridiculous. But the transition from an income tax to a national consumption (sales) tax (Fair Tax) presents this problem.

Under the current Fair Tax proposal, the savings from earnings of prudent savers and retirees that have already been assessed income taxes that are then used for new purchases would not be exempted from the new national sales tax, resulting in a punishing double taxation.

Assets saved after income taxes have already been assessed must be exempted from a new national sales tax when these assets are used for new purchases. After all, the supposed purpose of a Fair Tax is to tax the spending of new earnings which are no longer subject to income tax, not to double tax the previously taxed funds of savers and retirees used for new spending after the Fair Tax is in force.

Why are the proponents of the Fair Tax being so hypocritical by insisting that this unfair double taxation be imposed?

This unjustified stance must be reversed before the Fair Tax proposal is implemented; otherwise this injustice will be challenged in court and would most likely be rectified at the unnecessary expense of litigation.

If the Fair Tax proponents insist on this unfair double tax, then I would have to support the Flat Tax proposal instead.
