There's talk about abolishing the IRS, but...it needs to be more than talk. Currently we've got a taste of tariffs and, as per usual, we're getting ass-raped by the IRS & federal income taxes. Getting it from both ends.
We'd have to see it in action, but a consumption style tax would be straightforward. Steep, sure. But I would love to be freed from the immense burden that is the IRS. However we can manage that....I would give almost anything.
Fuck the IRS, fuck filing taxes, fuck all this wasteful spending of our goddamn money. It's not the government's money; the government has no money. It's our money that they steal from us, and yet we're still $36T+ in debt. This is unsustainable. We need to fix it.
