I support both the flat tax and the NRST. Both are better than what we have now by indescribable amounts.

But one thing that the NRST people fail to admit is that the IRS will still be needed. It will be greatly reduced from what it is today and will have far fewer powers. But it will still be needed in one form or another to assure that the taxes are being collected and properly paid.

You can NOT get rid of it entirely.

You got that right!

Why? There is no need to track income of any kind for any reason. The enforcement mechanism for sales tax is already in place- no IRS needed. Billions will be saved on defunding it.

States already collect sales tax efficiently. Under the nrst, they will be paid for collecting and remitting the tax.

Your opinion is valued, but your position is not cogent. Please explain WHY you believe the IRS will still be needed.
