Our govt would never go to a flat tax or do anything to depersonalize it.
FedZilla likes the power of the IRS. It is the most useful tool it has in its arsenal to target individuals and to force the general population to change behavior. It is the most efficient means of wealth stealing. It is also the best tool to keep the population under a constant state of duress and mental anguish, thereby making dehumanizing us and making us much more controllable. It makes us spend lots of energy trying to fix it, change it, control it. Energy that we could use to deal with other components of FedZilla are spent dealing with the IRS. No, methinks FedZilla will keep the IRS around forever.
I agree that ALL government poobahs like the power and control they have over our lives. After all, governments are organisms comprised of people who LIKE being in charge — “Public Service” be dammed! — and the first and most powerful instinct all organisms have is self-preservation.
What better way to exercise power and control than through the tax system. Governments have been doing that since before written history — it is what they do.
HST, the time has come for We the People to rise up and smite the poobahs, peacefully, at the ballot box — VOTEM OUT OF OFFICE!
If enough of us join together and VOTEM OUT OF OFFICE! we can change the culture in Washington, DC.
It will not be easy, but it has been done before: How do you think the LIEberals got control of the levers of power in OUR government?
So, we can do this! We can replace the income tax with the FairTax and abolish the IRS!
