quote:

“Are you for a fair tax, a flat tax, where do you stand on that?” Loesch asked DeSantis.

“So, the answer’s yes. I think the IRS is a corrupt organization and I think it’s not a friend to the average citizen or taxpayer,” DeSantis responded. “We need something totally different.”

“I’ve supported all of the single rate proposals, I think they would be a huge improvement over the current system and I would be welcoming to take this tax system, chunk it out the window and do something that’s more favorable to the average folks.”


On the expansion of the IRS under Biden:

quote:

“Of all the things that have come out of Washington that have been outrageous, this has got to be pretty close to the top,” DeSantis said at the time. “I think it was basically just the middle finger to the American public, that this is what they think of you.”

“They are going to go after independent contractors, they’re going to go after small business people, they’re going to go after someone that may be driving an Uber or a handyman or all these things,” DeSantis added at the time. “Why would they do that? Because you’re not going to be able to contend with the audit, so they’re going to crush a lot of people by doing that.”


There’s a video in the article to watch.

Don't be fooled that's a WEF RINO talking...it's so obviously obvious



ETA....I hope this is as easily recognized as sarcasm as it is that Desantis is not a globalist

Idk the one area the GOP does usually get their shite together on is taxes. They have already tried to repeal the IRS expansion and if they take control of government I could see a big push here.

Like what he is saying here…. Many of the alphabet agencies need to be pared back or done away with altogether…

So when Trump said he would build a wall and Mexico would pay for it was he lying for votes or do you think he believed it?

I would have loved for Mexico to buy us a wall but I was a bit suspect that they would.

Fairtax has been around since Forbes ran for president, maybe longer. I doubt it ever happens but BDR was asked if he would favor it. A lie would have been saying no.

I think folks have sales taxes figured out. When I buy something they do a great job of charging me 100% of the time. Maybe you guys shop somewhere different but the stores I shop at never forget to charge me.

Argumentive for the sake of being argumentive.


Store collects the sales tax. Where does that money go?

The stores still have to send in the taxes is what he meant

In LAif you operate a retail outlet you collect the tax at POS but you still have to send separate payments to the state and parish/city so there is still accounting to be done and if you don't send any remittance then the state or parish come after you and do an estimate based on previous filings. They can also audit you to make sure you aren't lying about how much you took in and simply keeping the sales tax.

He is saying you would still need the IRS to enforce the collection of the sales tax so stores don't fudge the numbers and keep some of it.
