Without the IRS, debt would sky rocket and currency will turn worthless...

You realize that, right?

You left off the most important part of the headline -- "says, David Bossie," (President of Citizens United.)

So, the president of the frontgroup for billionaires Charles G. and Bill Koch, who founded the organization in 1988, who want their taxes lowered think the IRS should be abolished. That's certainly news.

Actually, if the IRS is abolished, it'll fall to Treasury agents, the Secret Service most likely, to enforce taxation. What a wonderful waste of national resources it would be to go down that path.

Perhaps we should change the way we collect taxes? One where even the common man could understand easily, such as a flat tax.

We could change how taxes are collected, but conservative activists and the tax preparation industry have teamed up to make sure tax day isn't easier for Americans.
