We’ll never fund the Empire with a flat tax. And one that leaves out capital gains, interest, and dividends? Good luck with that.

if i were an irish citizen that received some money for doing some work across the internet for an American, why in the world would i care about some forms the US wants me to fill out??

seriously. citizens of other countries do not live under US law. it’s beyond ludicrous to think anyone outside our country is bound by our laws.

if it were the case, then saudis could start issuing warrants/kill orders for US citizens violating their laws while having never set foot in saudi

the level of acid you’d have to do to think these laws make any sense is just staggering

Better yet, get rid of the IRS and go with the Fair Tax.

Representative apportionment is the better solution. Congress decides how much money to raise via taxes. That amount is divided in two. One half is the Senator’s amount, the other half is the Representatives amount. Divide each of these down by the number of Senators and Representatives to determine the per Senator and per Representative amounts.

Each state is then billed for their two Senators and the number of representatives times the representative amount. The States then can determine how to collect taxes that best suits their state. Some states may want to tax property, others income, others sales, or a mix.

Even tax lawyers tell me that it is nearly impossible to fill out the form without perjuring oneself, owing to the form’s endless ambiguity and lack of clarity.

Not to mention redundancy... ;-P

I do not believe that the current IRS will allow the progressive income tax to fall - just as our political 'masters' will not allow it to fade away. There is far too much power in stealing from others based on their perceived (by you) ability to pay.

We need to dump the IRS and the income tax.

But that’s never going to happen.

All the government’s real power is in the IRS.

No more progressive tax, just 100% on everything
