A domestic centerpiece of the Bush/GOP agenda for a second Bush term is getting rid of the Internal Revenue Service In its place will be the "Service of Internal Revenue". And it will, of course, be completely different from its predecessor...

This is a set up!
There is no mention of repeal of the Sixteenth Ammendment. Without that the next tax, and spend, Dem controled congress will bring back the income tax on top of the national sales tax.

Come on gang. We all know the IRS system sucks. We all also know that NO ONE of such prominence such as the Speaker has ever gotten behind this.
Support a change. BIG TIME. This could be historic...and about 50 years past due.

The Speaker of the House will push for replacing the nation's current tax system with a national sales tax or a value added taxHey maybe even the illegals will get to pay some tax

I doubt that it will happen. Imagine all the I.R.S. brownshirts without a job. Tax accountants and tax attorneys out of work - it will be a tough sell.

That should get about 99% of the undecided and 50% of the democrats! What a great idea.

Are you kidding? Remember all those Dims that do not pay a penny in income taxes or even get a negative income tax, they are automatically against this. With a sales tax everyone would have to pay their fair share. That is completely against every thing the Dims stand for which is tax Republicans not Dims.

There really is no need for the government to know how much "income" we makeWord up.

I agree. I've been urging President Bush to think big and make the elimination of the income tax and the IRS the centerpiece of a second term. Tie it all in with the "ownership society" theme and you have a picture of a country where you REALLY get to keep what you earn. Quite a dramatic contrast to the other side's "the government will fix all your problems" pitch. Its about time.

If they are *honestly* talking about a complete dismantling of the IRS, I'll gladly vote for Bush.

"NO....NOT a VAT...its added to EVERY transaction beween producer and consumer....and it REALLY really jacks up the price and adds to inflation (like in EU)."
EXACTLY!
"A FLAT TAX 13% and NO deductions like in Russia is MUCH much better.....(that would tik off the lefties....ha ha)"
I'm WITH YOU! A flat tax is best and NO deductions.

Nothing wrong with making the argument. How articulate can be Bush be on this one?

Nowhere in this story does it say that Bush supports getting rid of the income tax. Drudge is really scraping this time. This is a truly stupid post by DRUDGE. Hastert can wish all he wants, it doesn't mean a damn thing. To say this is a "centerpiece of the Bush/GOP agenda" is idiotic.

I'm all in favor of a better tax system, and eliminating income tax, but until spending is brought under control it won't matter. Washington spends like a drunken sailor, and Congress and the Executive are both to blame. You cannot have a fiscally conservative tax policy and liberal social spending policies and balance the budget. Can't happen.
To: dubyaismypresident
>>VAT scares me but NRST sounds like a good replacement for the IRS.
Agree. The VAT could destroy our manufacturing base. I prefer the NRST whereby "retail" includes imported goods and services.
