REPUBLICANS PLAN PUSH FOR ELIMINATION OF IRS


A domestic centerpiece of the Bush/GOP agenda for a second Bush term is getting rid of the Internal Revenue Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

 

[DealMonkey]

Somehow I doubt it. It would be interesting if true though.

The Speaker of the House will push for replacing the nation's current tax system with a national sales tax or a value added tax, Hill sources tell DRUDGE.

 

[bozack]

bye bye H&R block.... personally while I like the idea I don't see it happening anytime soon.

 

[XMan]

Sign me up, especially if they're doing anything similar to what's outlined at www.fairtax.org!

Just Think of All the Tax Revenue if they made everyone (Including Corporations of Course) Pay a flat 10%.

NEVER WILL HAPPEN

<--------------Wonders if we get to have a catchy little slogan too? You know what I am talking about....

HOPE IS ON THE WAY

For the GOP I am leaning towards:

You can Hope in one hand and sh!t in the other and see which one gets full first...

You have to start somewhere, and for the first time a major party is going to take the issue and run with it. Hopefully its not just an election year ploy, and they push for it if Bush is elected or not.

This is like the mars crap. Aim for something that will never pass just to make it look like you were trying. Smoke screen.

Oh it could pass, it would have the votes needed in both houses. To slow it down would require a record filibuster on the part of democrats to stall it. And we all know what happenes once a filibuster ends, the bill is passed.

A Vat would be a lot more efficient to collect than the status quo...Reduce a lot of overhead...Maybe....

 

[Dissipate]

The day the IRS is eliminated is a day to celebrate. The day all government tax collection ends is a day that will probably mark the beginning of utopia.

Hope this is true.....it's the one thing Steve Forbes brought to the game back when he ran. We need to move to a flat 15% tax on everyone except those making less than 20k a year.

I can hear Ted Kennedy already..

LOL. And where do we get the rest of the money for the bills? That's right, it wasn't really "flat".

I don't think a simlpe tax code is partisan. If done right, they what the hell? But since Bush has blotched everything from the Clean Skies Act to Prescription Drug Act, this has to be some kind of hoax or corporate handout.

 

[Kibbo]

You can't get rid of tax collectors as long as you have government

To eliminate government is to grant judicial and law enforcement and defence in the hands of private citizens.

That undermines the rule of law with rule by the strong.

That destroys the Republic, and brings on an Emperor.

Even if you flatten the tax code, you would need some form of collection agent.

Edit: Ok, it doesn't sound like they would abandon taxation altogether. So they would still need some kind of administrative body. Who cares what it would be called? The change in the tax structure is 100% more important than the administrative body. That's a beauraucratic matter.

You dont need to tax corportations, if you tax them, those costs just get passed to the consumer.
