Why would anyone send an IRS form if the IRS no longer existed?

Default Basic necessities tax free

Thanks pollyrobin for getting me interested enough to go to his website & copy his issues positions, and the reassurance used goods are not included. I still need to go to FairTax.org & copy that.

first of all, it takes more than the Pres to abolish something like that and second, if it could be done and it can't, it wouldn't happen that fast, so there would still be income tax forms for a few years. I think too many people, think the Pres has more power than he has. We have 3 branches of government for a reason..

He would give Congress a budget cutting everything including military 43%. But most in Congress might try to change that, depending on how much defense contract stocks they bought or were given.

We do need to replace most in Congress who ignore the Constitution.

At least Gary Johnson wouldn't declare war without approval from Congress. He also says elect peace, diplomacy is a win-win situation, & war should be declared only as a last resort.

I refuse to waste my vote on either the Democratic or Republican nominee. Yes, one of them will likely win - but that isn't criteria for a "wasted-vote". The vote wasted is the one that perpetuates the stagnation that both major parties have given us.
