Yeah, we all hate what they stand for, but the IRS is not the problem. Congress, and the power they give the IRS are to blame.
For me, it sums up in one word... Term Limits.
The elected leeches with no term limits that want to be in power all of their life will never do what is right as long as Special Interest Groups of 10-15% population can demonize them.
We need successful business people in Congress for 4 years ONLY that don't give a damn about re-election or what folks think.
I used to like the Fair Tax too, until I read the book. Fair Tax is a Consumption Tax, and someone like Warren Buffet who lives very modestly making 100 million or more in a year could pay less tax than me.
A consumption tax would hit the middle class the worst.
(INCOME plus PREBATE X 12 minus NECESSITIES) divided by INCOME mult by 100 equals PERCENT LEFT TAX RATE
1. ($30,000 + 187 x 12 - $30,000) / 30,000 X 100 = 7.5
Tax of 92.5% working poor
2. ($70,000 + 187 X 12 - $56,000) / 70,000 X 100 = 23
Tax of 77% middle
3. ($10M + 187 X 12 - $500,000) / 10M X 100 = 95
Tax of 5% rich
