The US needs a simple flat tax with very limited deductions. The IRS needs to be abolished and every last one of its employees sent into the unemployment line. Let them live off their retirement contributions which can be refunded to them.

Works for me.
Byron King explains how the world we’re all living in today was essentially created by President Woodrow Wilson during his Presidency.

an income tax is unconstitutional . they had to ratify the 16th amendment to get the income tax but many say it was never even ratified (does anyone here know?)
The “flat tax” still lets Washington too much into the mix (THEY get to decide what our “flat tax” is, after all). A national sales tax on the other hand, where a couple of pennies for the Feds is added to the state sales tax you already pay, has a few major advantages: It’s COMPLETELY “fair” first of all, because it’s based on your personal buying power. Buy a new Mercedes, you’re paying more tax than the guy who buys a beater to get around town. It’s easy, because you just need to do a little finagling with your cash register software to get it done, and — maybe most of all — it provides an incentive for the federal government to actually WORK. When economic times are awesome, big bucks flow into the federal coffers; when times are rough, the feds just have to learn how to get by, or pass legislation that promotes job growth and business strength. The national sales tax is truly “free-market-based”

If that’s to happen, it’ll take We the People. No politician on the planet will do that until we break out the pitchforks. We’re overdue for some pitchfork wielding.
Sounds like a plan to me. Get rid of them all...
