Disband the IRS

Americans, are you slaves? Do you realize you consent to politicians using the IRS as their weapon to silence you, control your spending, while legally taking your wealth?

Why isn't there a sea-to-shining-sea battle-cry against tyranny of politicians able to silence millions of Americans with the power of IRS, punishing opposition while skirting the law thus remaining unaccountable?

The existence of the IRS is a freedom issue. Repeal the 16th Amendment. Pass the FairTaxHR25 which defunds and disbands the IRS. As long as the IRS exists, politicians will pretend outrage at situations such as what we now face, but they will also continue using the IRS to silence opposition while reaping huge financial and political gains via lobbyist and loopholes.

The economic benefits of the FairTax over a Flat tax or income tax have been proven. The taxpayer's bill for the investigation of the IRS is staggering. However, economics issues of a tax structur2e must not be the focus of our attention.We as a nation must ensure that our children and grandchildren have the freedom of speech and private ownership now denied under the income tax.

Pass the FairTax. Repeal the 16th. Or live in shame for tolerating tyranny.
