RE: End the IRS.
To be replaced by ....????
A new, much smaller agency that puts the onus on the government to prove individuals are “dodging” federal taxes. The tax code needs to be drastically reformed as well. Federal taxes should not be higher than a flat 10%, period. If people want to pay more than that (leftists), assess them at a higher rate.
The IRS as it is now is the federal government’s personal Gestapo. They’ve been out of control for decades and no one in that agency is answering for their tyranny.

One word - Tariffs.
The federal government used to raise all its revenue from tariffs before the 16th Amendment passed creating the federal income tax.
Personally, I'm ready to get behind the NRST (National Retail Sales Tax). The IRS, by its very nature requires individuals give up their 5th Amendment rights. The rules are arcane and largely arbitrary, as well as mostly incomprehensible.
The country survived until 1913 without an income tax. The only reason it was even accepted by the people initially is because almost no one actually paid anything. The first $20k of income wasn't even taxed, and the highest rate was 6%, which didn't even kick in until you it $500k, which was an insane amount of money back then. $20,000 in 1913 was equivalent to $503,012.12 in 2018.
For those interested, here is a copy of the entire 1913 income tax form, with instructions. It is a whopping 4 pages, with instructions.
