House | How does ron paul plan to "eliminate the IRS"? |
i thought it was a joke when i first heard it. how can you eliminate something like this? while i certainly support the politician who will lower taxes most, is this method even possible?

If you cut government spending to what it was in the year 2000 --there would be no need for income tax.
If the government stops spending trillions overseas, we would be back to 2000 levels, and therefore would not need to have our wages garnished.
Ron Paul would not eliminate the IRS overnight (he cannot, congress must support too, but he wants to get us going in that direction...not deeper in debt and in more trouble overseas). So he would do it in phases. |

Would it surprise you to know that income tax as we know it only come into existence in 1913?
That means for more than 130 years this country lived without income tax. While it won't be easy, the whole plan calls for reduction in government services - a big one being the international "police".
It's really possible if you just think of all the government services that are currently competing with private alternatives (health care, social security, welfare) |

Basically you fire all IRS employees, kick everyone out of the building, and cancel their funding. Then you chain and padlock the doors and sell the building. You close and cancel all accounts, using whatever cash reserves it has on hand to pay down what the IRS owes the American people. The IRS accounts for roughly 40% of the feds' income, which means on the macro level you're dismantling 40% of the federal government by cutting their funding.
The net result will be a flood of liquid cash (the best kind) into the system, because when people have more they spend more. Bye-bye recession, bye-bye war. It's like giving everyone a raise to stop a fight. The only ones who lose will be the politicians who have to find real jobs. |

When we quit playing police around the world. You will have enough left over from the military budget to start fazing out the "kgb" I mean the "IRS". Ron Paul is the last chance for the American Way of Life. The media stated that the 4.3 million dollars raised was donated by 22000 people. This works out to $1954.00 per person. The campaign stated the average donation is $40.00. The 4.3 million at $40.00 is some 110,000 donations. Still at single digit polling numbers? WAKE UP THERE IS A REVOLUTION ON THE RISE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

by minimizing the federal government by eliminating as many federal programs as possible , then sending back the power of the eliminated programs back to the states . this works because its our cash that is funding the feds so it can just as easily fund the states instead , we save the cash by the elimination on the unneeded federal jobs. |

First off, I would like to say I am not a Ron Paul supporter. I think he believes there should be a flat tax. That means everyone is taxed a basic precentage like 5% or 7% of their income. No loop holes. No cheating. No tax codes. Just basic. Mike Huckabee believes the same thing. Although, I think he just wants to shrink the IRS by a ton! The IRS cost $10 billion annually to operate.
But Ron Paul also wants to get rid of homeland security, the IRS, the FBI. wow. |

Wayne and Bostonia, you two don't have a clue. Why don't you actually READ the book on Fairtax before commenting on it.
The "Wealthy" like Ted Kennedy will actually start paying taxes on the money they spend on their toys and high end lifestyle. Right now he pays little tax on his Senate income, and no tax on the "wealth" he inherited tax free.
The "rich" dont just sit there tucking their money under the mattress. Your Move-On ignorance and class envy shine through.
The "poor" will not be on the street, but instead enjoy a monthly check rebate that will cover the sales tax on living expenses, while also enjoying lower prices on everything they buy.
And quit being decieving, the plan calls for 23% tax, not 30%.
But then again, you obviously didn't read it...
Get real. Get informed. |

Idiots are all around me. Why don't you slobs try researching the Federal Reserve and the IRS before you speak? First: there is not a law that requires people to pay tax on their labor. Second: 0% of your Federal Income Tax goes to the US Government. Third: The IRS operates out of Puerto Rico, my be this is why it is not a state?
The Federal Reserve Bank is a For-Profit entity, look in the White pages for it, and there you will see, Business, not a government affiliated company.
Is this shocking to you? Don't believe me? A simple internet search will tell you everything you wanted to know. |

Rep. Paul has expressed interest in the "FairTax" which is a 30% National Sales Tax. Theorettically, it replaces the current income tax. It has been around in congress since the 90s and has never made it out of committee and probably never will as it has a lot of flaws.
It really doesn't "Eliminate the IRS". It just renames it. Whatever tax system we have will need enforcement and administration.
Studies have shown that with the "FairTax", poor people and those making over $200k per year will have their taxes go down but the fast majority of us will have them go up. So, if you make over $200k, go ahead and vote for Mr. Paul. |

Voodoo seems like a possibility. Someone has to collect the taxes as he proposes them and there is no need to reinvent the wheel.
If he is elected president and can get his tax plan on the books it will not lower taxes, it will just change who pays how much of them. You will probably pay more than you are paying now. |

Ron Paul proposes a flat national sales tax of 30% on all purchases, under the cute misnomer of "The Fair Tax."
That would be a massive tax break for the wealthy as they tend to amass wealth, not spend it. The working poor would wind up in the streets (they pay little or not tax now) and the middle class would buckle at the knees. It would also crush the housing industry as new homes would be taxed while existing homes would not. While it would theoretically help US manufacturers since they'd no longer pay any income taxes and could therefore lower their prices, international backlash would drive prices right back where they were and negate any benefit. Fraud on the so-called "prebate" feature would be rampant as would black marketing activities attempting to avoid the taxes.
If anyone thinks that any agency other than the IRS would be tasked for collection and administration of the "Fair Tax" they are dreaming just like Mr Paul is. He has some other interesting ideas, but his support for the "Fair Tax" relegates him to the looney bin politically since most folks recognize that this tax would crash the US economy overnight and therefore has zero chance of ever being implemented. Too bad as he otherwise seems like an intellegent choice... |

It's simple: Ron Paul wants the vote of the people at the very bottom of the intellect food chain by making empty promises that he will either eliminate the IRS, or do everything in his power to "protect" them and their money from this evil beast. Most people don't like the IRS, because hey, they're taking your money. It's understandable. However, I think the IRS is actually pretty soft and gentle with people. They could be a lot worse (like in totalitarian regimes). The problem is that the IRS lets cheaters get away with so much cash that the rest of us need to cough up to fill in the budget gaps.
The IRS needs more resources to go after more tax cheats and deter others. However, if the IRS started wielding its ax and getting shit done, it would angry the ignorant populous who would then turn around and elect idiots like Ron Paul who promise them idiotic things. |
