Isn’t it time to replace the IRS with a system of no federal income tax?
To support the budget of the federal government, a national sales tax would be a great replacement for our present system and could be run by the Treasury Department.
No more benefit and retirement programs for IRS employees. What a savings for the American people, who would be able to keep their hard-earned dollars.
The sales tax percentage would be determined by the total of each year’s federal budget; some years more than others.
For the very poor, special credit benefits would apply on their payments.
I wholeheartedly believe that this new sales tax program would be so much better than our present income tax system — and guess what: No more IRS scandals.
