I agree, that if you simply look at it as a math problem with needing X number of Senators on your side of the issuento get the votes, and if you don't have that, then it is unthinkable.

Of you are willing to use leverage points to your advantage things like this can be achieved.

Explain your plan with details and specifics

There is a 1000 % chance he would not do that. Politics is no different than professional wrestling.

It's probably going to be the same as the one given to Trump, via the Federalist Society.

Same way we did for most of our nation's history and add a National Sales Tax. Income taxes are just one way to tax.

He just sealed a definite loss. The welfare crowd needs the IRS for our money. As does the gov and white apologetics to send billions to foreign countries.

well, he needs to release it

His team has to know this

If he does not, nothing else he does will be able to sway me from voting MAGA

I’m confident that I’m not the only one who feels this way…

Talk about defeatist! That is literally saying these things:

The best way to take out the IRS is to take out Federal Withholding. Most people assume Federal Withholding has always been there because they don't know history. The Income Tax was enacted by Constitutional Amendment in 1913 but it really didn't provide much revenue until Withholding was implemented in 1944 as an emergency measure during WWII that has never gone away.

Federal Withholding allows for the government to use employers to do the dirty work for them and get around that pesky 5th Amendment. It also allows for the illusion of a "refund" that lemmings think the government is paying them. It's also completely Unconstitutional and even when FDR implemented it there was really no question about that but we were at the height of WWII and not a fiat currency so we needed the cash fast otherwise the government was going to go bankrupt. Then they simply never got rid of it because it was so effective and allowed for so much more power for the Feds.

You remove Withholding and the IRS is toothless, then you can look at how you actually dismantle the IRS itself. Make people write a check every April 15 for their full tax bill and then see how long the Income Tax sticks around.

BTW, the issue isn't the revenue it is the power the IRS gains by having Income taxes and Withholding. It allows them to control your life more than any other government policy.

Why does a 3rd party list sway you so much?

Do you think Trump had anything to do with his list? That was all Mitch McConnel coordinating with the Federalist Society for years prior to Trump running for office.

Yes, I’d like to see this as well

I hate this pie in the sky stuff though. Its a nice soundbite to lure the retards in who don’t understand this will never happen.


maybe so, but if we can at least defund ALL of Biden’s new IRS stormtroopers, that would be a good start…

The IRS is quite literally equipped for war if anyone tries to dismantle them.

These nerds could easily be absorbed by other federal law enforcement agencies. They probably aspire to have more honorable jobs than the ones they currently hold. Conflict would be avoided with the stroke of a pen.
