Reading shite like this makes me sad. The federal income tax wasn’t implemented until 1913. Want to know what they did from 1783 - 1912? Consumption taxes.

I know. But there were no payroll taxes then either. Now a large amount of the collection side of the IRS is collecting overdue payroll tax. The examination part has a role in it too.

Also… if the consumption tax is paid to an entity, and the entity has to account and pay it over to the government.. there will be an IRS there to scrutinize it.

I hate to say it.. but eliminating IRS agents altogether now is a pipe dream.

However, with a consumption based tax.. it can be taken out of the lives of individuals.
