When this worthless agency chief tells the media today that 60% of the calls to the IRS won’t be answered this year, he is obviously lying about how necessary it is. They are not doing their job, but are busy harassing TEA Party people across the fruited plain. Shut it down. The American people can pay their flat tax online as they do their credit card bills. If the government is too inept, let Visa and Mastercard collect the taxes. Firing thousands of IRS flunkies will save billions.
We could abolish them. As they are now.
We could also fire them and not rehire them in whatever much, much smaller revenue office is created to manage flat tax filers.
We could make it so they never worked as a bureaucrat ever again.
We could make it so we could fire any of them that abused their power, used their power to help politicians, and subvert investigations into their office’s wrongdoings.
I think we could accomplish a lot more in changing his attitude and it wouldn't take us all that long :)
They could fire every single one of them, just like the aircraft controllers with a stroke of the pen.
I read the 16th amendment a few weeks ago. It does not really have to be repealed to get rid of the IRS. All it says is that Congress has the power to tax income. It does not say how or establish the IRS.
Challenge Accepted.
Ok. I’ll play. So we don’t abolish the IRS. I would settle for “gutting” the IRS.
Looking forward to the day that IRS agents are given a choice- Stand a post on the southern border or find another job.
Bureaucratic Arrogance
After years of imperial decrees, these bastards think they are untouchable.
The Judiciary too. (See this.)
not if you have a sales tax. there is no personal scrutiny with a sales tax. they can only scour the detail transactions of each business. can they do it? yes. not if you don’t fund it.
Flawed is too nice a word. Unconstitutional. ILLEGAL.
Even IF the 16th was passed properly, it still does not negate the 4th, 5th and 13th Amendments...regardless of some ruling by the black-robed oligarchs whom are payed by the same economic serfs (boy, que surprise, eh?!).
sorry but i think the gold crap from the current designer in chief would be the first to go.
Even better, get rid of all the stupid damn programs...like Headstart, Common Core, Federal Lunch Programs etc etc
Individual states.... you know that’s not a bad idea. A tax plan that taxes states based on the population. A certain number of dollars for each adult to be collected by the federal government from the states. Let each state figure out how to raise the funds on its own.... :)
These bureaucrats have nothing on Al Capone or the MAFIA. If Al Capone or the Mafia had the power that these IRS bureaucrats, we’d have John Gotti as our president by now. They have become the enemies of the people they have sworn to serve.
“You can’t end me.” Famous last words of many a tyrant and arrogant bureaucrat.
Obviously taxes will always be collected, and there will be a mechanism for collecting them.
The point about abolishing the IRS is that the set of bureaucrats, small-minded bullies, political hacks, and the rest who currently *staff* it will be out on their ears. THAT’S what’s actually at stake.
