This is a new idea?
Maybe not, but well worth doing.
Abolish the EPA too.
Tax reform is the biggest issue facing this country and would eliminate many other problems.
IMHO a flat tax and abolishing the IRS is paramount.
there’s 500 other people who will vote against it.
But thanks for floating the balloon.
Weaponized indeed.
But the EXEMPT Congress could not care.
THEY are EXEMPT from this, too.
The EXEMPT class is lawless, above all laws,
and it makes TAXES and DEATHCARE for the less fortunate
below them.
FLAT TAX
NO “FAIR” TAX!!!!!!!!!
Anyone who likes the “fair” tax is a commie
My vote for Best Idea: Warren Buffet’s idea:
If there is a budget deficit of more than 3% of spending, the currently-sitting members of Congress cannot run for reelection.
Who knows, maybe Congress would quit using my money to buy cell phones for deadbeats.
Abolish the I.R.S. (Internal Revenue for Socialists) and put that GESTAPO agent skank POS pig Lerner in prison.
Then, work your way down the list…(A-Z)…pick any 10-20 to start...

BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
Ted Cruz 2016 and Contract with America version 2.0 Abolish the IRS. Winning Ticket.
Scott Walker VP.
Ben Carson clean up what WAS OCare.
The IRS should have been abolished long ago.
(Though I seem to recall that when people ranging from Ron Paul to Alan Keyes proposed abolishing the income tax (and thus the IRS), my fellow FReepers blasted them for it.)
Eliminate the income tax, make it a consumption tax. IRS is then out of a job.
I think anyone capable of critical thought could come up with this...I should run for king.
Ya know what’s interesting, is many of these people come up with the most obvious, most needed policies, when they’re running or contemplating running for something.
These simplistic chants of “flat tax” and “abolish the IRS” are what makes conservatives look stupid. Tax laws certainly need to be changed, but we are going to need a department that collects taxes and enforces tax laws. Even if we eliminated income taxes and went to a national sales tax or property tax, we would need a agency to collect and manage taxes. As for flat tax... the tax rates take up less than one page of the tax law. Everything else is rules determining income and deductions. Reform and simplify? Certainly. But the reform idea need to be realistic.
Such tax reform is a great idea, but don’t bet on anything fully eliminating the IRS. The IRS, or some such entity, would survive in much smaller form to audit, or make determinations that taxpayers were reporting all of their income.
Illegal tax evasion via unreported income would be just as possible as it is now and there would still be some enforcement agency.
The GOP can’t even get rid of the Department of Education, how is it supposed to take down the IRS?
Cruz 2016!
Hey Mr. Cruz... NO TALK necessary... “JUST DO IT.”
The only way to actually get rid of the IRS and their abuses is to implement a national sales tax. A national 10% sales tax (God only asks for 10% so that should be enough for the government as well) would usher in the greatest period of prosperity this nation has ever known. A “flat” tax would leave the vast majority of the apparatus of the IRS in place.
