The tax code in the United States is a huge mess, and is nothing but a weapon used by politicians to get favors and silence their opposition.

Nowhere is this more clearly seen than the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS. Obama has used this agency as part of a strategy to intimidate those who speak out against him.

Now that the cat is out of the bag, it’s time to start considering what actionable steps to take to correct the bloated bureaucracy of the IRS and the monstrosity that is the U.S. tax code.

The code itself is thousands of pages long, and not even the people in charge of enforcing it have any idea what it really says.

One solution being supported by Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is to chuck the IRS in the garbage and give the tax code a complete overhaul.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is calling for the abolishment of the Internal Revenue Service.

“A total rehaul of our tax system is important and necessary. I am on board with all of that,” Priebus told “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV.

“I am on board with the idea of totally overhauling or ridding ourselves of the IRS and the tax code and coming up with a better system,” he said Tuesday.

But Priebus added that the task is easier said than done.

“Unfortunately, none of that happens with a person in the White House who is actually more interested in a European style of government than the way that our country was drafted and led to be run by the Constitution,” he said.

“So it’s going to be very difficult to do, and certainly with [Senate Majority Leader]

You said, “The rebate is simply a means of prohibiting federal taxation on spending for life essentials FOR EVERY AMERICAN. How is prohibiting federal taxation a bad thing?”

This Bill does not prohibit federal taxation.

I have read it the legislation multiple times and I know the architects of the legislation.

Children are people too you know? And it is their parents or guardians that will receive the rebate on their behalf.

What’s the issue with you? That rebate is made according to family size? So what? How else to untax the spending for children’s essentials?

[Ray76]

Read the Bill, not the sales pitch.

The “prebate” is determined by family size and poverty level, and is paid to the family or if multiple persons in the family are registered to receive payment then the payment is divided evenly between those persons designated.

The bill does prevent taxing on essentials by providing the rebate. That’s the purpose of the rebate, to leave us all untaxed for essential spending.

What’s the issue with you? Can you not handle disagreeing without being disagreeable?

I have read the bill. I have never read Bootz’ book or other such sales pitches. I have personal direct contact with the original drafters of the legislation.

The rebate is determined by family size. It is not determined by their poverty level. The rebate is the same for Warren Buffett as it is for single people with no money or assets.

The prebate is a percentage of the poverty level as determined UNIFORMLY for all Americans through time and means tested formulas via DHHS and Census. The rebate is not tailored to each individual’s status. If you believe otherwise, then it is you who needs to read the legislation.

Oh I see now you want to get personal. Generally that’s a sign that you’ve run out of arguments.

I’ll ask again regarding the rebate as determined according to family size, so what?

[Ray76]

I want to get personal? You have got to be kidding. So far you have told me “I need to get out more often” that “I’m dense”, and “what’s [my] issue”.

Go find yourself a mirror.
