18% flat tax on everything over $30,000. One deduction, mortgage on house or business. Tax return the size of a postcard. Get rid of the entire IRS. IRS has armed police force and harasses population just like Russia. Form a small agency to collect taxes and do the book keeping.

We will NEVER be a free country as long as we have the IRS and these bastards keeping us as slaves.

Look no further than non-profit status for the NFL and that alone makes the IRS a joke. But a family finds gold coins on their property and they’ll take as much as they can.

Juries need to start nullifying any criminal case brought by the IRS. Hit ‘em where it hurts so to speak.

the agency itself has perversely interpreted federal privacy rules as protecting the criminal leakers at the IRS rather than the victims of their crimes.

After all. They're better than us. Just ask them.

The IRS can neither be “reformed” nor “repaired!”

The IRS MUST BE ABOLISHED!

It is time to replace the income tax with the FairTax and ABOLISH the IRS!

To find out how to help us do that, go to http://www.fairtax.org.

We need all the help we can get!

At minimum, tax reform should look like this modified version of the Steve Forbes flat tax proposal from 1996:

1. Generous exemptions for initial earned income (wages and pension payments) of:

$14,000 for single taxpayers
$28,000 for married/registered domestic partner couples
$21,000 for single legal head of household
$9,000 for each legal dependent in household

2. Any income above the exemptions will be taxed at a flat rate of 18.75%.

3. Eliminate the alternate minimum tax, estate tax, FICA (Social Security) tax, gift tax, and self-employment tax.

4. Exclude bank account interest, capital gains and stock dividend payments from earned income computation.

5. Allow businesses to depreciate any equipment used for running a business within one year.

The result would be extremely simple income tax forms that would take only a few minutes to fill out, and would cut yearly income tax compliance costs by 75%. Given that yearly compliance costs are now approaching a ridiculous US$500 BILLION per year, this tax overhaul frees up US$375 billion per year for more productive purposes and would give tremendous incentive to keep savings and capital investment staying in the USA.
