Absolutely agreed--and PatrickHenry has previously stated his agreement.
However, your complaint is with the Congress, not with the IRS.
I applaud the the efforts of those that are trying to un-do it!
These people are NOT trying to undo the tax code--for many of them, if the Internal Revenue Code disappeared, they'd go bankrupt before they could find honest work.
I don't expect a pseudo-conservative to understand this sentiment!
Excuse me for asking this in a somewhat intemperate fashion...but WHO F***ING DIED AND APPOINTED YOU THE OFFICIAL MIKHAIL SUSLOV OF THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT?
I could ask you the same question!
Did it ever occur to you (in all of your status quo wisdom), if enough people stop paying the current system will collapse? Then, the politicos would be forced to deal with the issue, and come up with either a flat tax or a national sales tax. Either option would be better than what we have now! Argue that point.
