Even small changes such as the 1986 elimination of tax breaks for rental properties caused seismic problems in our economy. The only survivable option for changing the tax code is by incremental change. Wholesale changes will only serve to destroy our country in financial bankruptcy. If you want a miltary takeover due to insurrection, revolution and general lawlessness then vote for huge changes in the tax structure.
The great depresion will look like a Sunday Picnic. And we will have a global melt down when the American Economy tanks due to lacks of cash receipts. You can't expect the average joe to send in MORE taxes when they are all looking to send in less. There will be a total breakdown in compliance. Armchair economists will cluck and scowl that "things aren't going the way they should" while the economy tanks, social transfer payments are stopped or dollars are printed like play money to cover the debts that aren't paid for by tax income.
The Income Tax Code/IRS is like a weight nailed to our collective leg, sending us deeper into the water/debt. We either lose the leg, or lose our life/economy through drowning/bankrupcy.
Complete and utter nonsense. Do some research on the FairTax.
