A flat tax would clear out 75% of the IRS.

Drop withholdings, exemptions, "write-offs", credits and you could drop 90% to 95%.

Envelope openers, stuffers, stackers and photographers associated with huge conveyor belts and mail processing equipment are a substantial part of the IRS operation ~ then there are the ash and trash guys.

Getting rid of this stuff ~ tax filings ~ is all confidential, so you don't just hire a trash company to come in and scoop it up. Taxpayers prefer secure storage and secure destruction.
