I know how to replace the entire IRS with one clerk in the Treasury Dept. It would be very easy.

They never do this.. They refuse to do what they can do. They act (act) like they are afraid of dealing with the liberal spin the msm will put out on them. They act because they know exactly how to handle it. They don’t want to handle it. Because they don’t want to change it.

Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire agency from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Hudson: Fnnn’ A!
Burke: Hold on a second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Ripley: They can *bill* me.
Burke: Okay, I know this is an emotional moment for all of us. I know that. But let’s not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly an important agency we’re dealing with and I don’t think that you or I, or *anybody*, has the right to arbitrarily exterminate it.
Ripley: Wrong.
Vasquez: Yeah, watch us.

How did the United States of America ever survive before it was cursed with the IRS?

I wonder if Terwilliger's dungeon is available to house the IRS director

Senior IRS Bureaucrats who refuse to leave, could be put to work. Special Forces need training So he can't be abolished? Hmmm

If he means that Congress can't de-fund the IRS he's flat wrong. If he means that some bureau must oversee tax collection, he's correct. But it needn't be anybody who is working there now.

It isn't just anger at the abuses directed at the Tea Party that is motivating conservatives, it's anger on the part of people across the political spectrum that the agency is now the enforcer for 0bamacare and exists in a near vacuum of oversight, and that IRS toadies blatantly turn their office of trust into a political weapon and suffer no consequences.

There’s special place in Hell for these IRS directors doing tax returns for the likes of Al Capone, ted kennedy and al sharpton.

Congress to IRS: “Technically, you may be correct that Congress cannot abolish the IRS. However, what if we reduced your operating budget to ZERO dollars, then the dedicated employees of the IRS would work for free, isn’t that true?”

  I don't think it's terribly difficult to abolish the IRS. With the right president, I think abolishing the IRS may be as simple as passing legislation to destroy all of the IRS records. After Lois Lerner and Hillary Clinton accidentally lost emails in a manner that made them completely irretrievable, then it certainly can't be difficult to intentionally do something similar.

Just go to the Fair Tax and that should eliminate about 90% of the people currently employed with the IRS. Take the remaining and rename the department to something more appropriate to it’s new duties. Give them a few calculators and tell them to add it up as it comes in.

It would be fun to see these jerks wet their pants if Ted Cruz gets the Republican nomination.
