Real tax reform would not only get rid of the AMT, but also income, Social Security, Medicare and death taxes. Real tax reform would also kill off the Internal Revenue Service and save billions in tax compliance costs.

What is the yearly budget for the IRS and it's compliance arms?

It's about half a trillion, isn't it? About 500 billion?

Yearly?

The 2006 budget for the IRS (part of Treasury Dept.) is $11 Billion. It may be that there are also some off-budget items not included.

It may not be a trillion, but it's still lots of bananas.
