Kind of like the irs. Let’s make everybody pay 18%. Period. Think they would ever abolish the irs if that was the case? Not gonna happen. Us to the lyin’ king. “If you like your irs, you can keep your irs.”
These days the IRS is an affirmative action jobs program..... Women minorities etc. In fact most of today’s Federale Guvmint is a glorified jobs program for liberals, women..... blacks and gays are very heavily ever-represented and other dreamt up minorities
Given our zero sum economy the more Federale workers you have the fewer workers you have in the private sector. The Feds and their over-regulators suck the life out of the private productive sector. They job depends on this
You hit on it...Being that the IRS is a jobs program. Given that countless thousands depend on it for a paycheck......
This works against any flat tax income tax due to IRS drones being out on the street or applying for Burger Kings
