I KNOW, I KNOW, THIS ISN'T THE COMPLETE SOLUTION...

So let's say it --

ABOLISH THE IRS.

REPEAL THE 16th AMENDMENT.

In the least, something needs to be done to ensure government employees take the same “medicine” us commoners take. The ideal would be to outlaw ALL public employee unions. Any of these is an insurmountable task.

Remember the rules for radicals.

Isolate the target.

Polarize it.

Ridicule it.

Demonize it.

Now THAT I would support. Especially near April.

May it be so...

Terri Land is beating up on Gary Peters over his silence about the IRS targeting and noting that he’s taken almost $9,000 from the National Treasury Employees Union.

Unions in general serve mainly to protect the incompetent, whether it’s teachers, nurses, cops or IRS agents. It’s nearly impossible to fire a union employee, and they know it, so it erodes the work ethic.

All public employee unions should be outlawed.

Indeed.

Repeal the 16th amendment and fund the necessary functions of government with a tax that everyone pays at the same marginal rate.

"In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 10988, which permitted collective bargaining by federal employees. Widely seen as a gift to George Meany, the AFL-CIO head who helped Kennedy win the White House, the executive order was also a gift to government unions, both because it widened federal membership and because it signaled national approval of unions for state and local employees."

ABOLISH THE IRS. REPEAL THE 16th AMENDMENT.

Even if the 16th Amendment is repealed, we will need a revenue collection agency.

Also repealing the 16th Amendment will not change anything. The courts will simply reinterpret the constitution to allow the Federal Government under the tax clause and the commerce clause to do any damn thing it wants to do in regard to collection of revenue.

The 16th Amendment was passed during a period in which the courts were actually interpreting the Constitution in accordance with the original intent.

Today, not so much.

Unaccountable bureaucrats (socialists) at best, weaponized GE$TAPO for socialists at worst.

BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM

It largely is the solution, there will be no taming of the IRS. There is no one who wishes to tame the IRS who is in a postion to do so.

They like it just fine as it is, an agency that intimidates at the end of a barrel of a rifle pointed at the subjugated serfs.

Rescind EO 10988!

Then, limit federal bureaucrats to a 10 year limit of service.

The agency tasked to enforce Obamacare wants to be immune from it.

America’s Bureaucracies have become the primary place of employment for Democrats. I bet you that over 90% of workers in these Bureaucracies are democrat underlings and ALL the managerial staff are democrats... the question is, how to fix this problem?

My Solution:
1. Drastically reduce funding for all bureaucracies.
2. De-Unionize all bureaucracies.
3. De-Institutionalize bureaucracies by use of a type of Affirmative Action for hiring which says that no more than a certain percentage of employees can come from a certain political persuasion, regardless of race, religion or creed.
4. De-Link all bureaucracies from politics and political pressure by making them totally open to the public via an information clearing house. All communications within and between bureaucracies are to be made public, unless determined to be of national security interests. How, simple; each bureaucracy shall include in its webpage a tab for realtime and archived communications. No more filing for freedom of information from a federal court.
