    • On January 18, 2013, by raichu - I am certainly not prepared to just do away with taxes. They finance almost all of our government programs, many of which are beneficial overall. Perhaps the money can be administered better, but that's no reason to just get rid of tax revenue.

    • On January 09, 2013, by molonlabe - Eliminating the IRS only to create a national sales tax will eliminate one bureaucratic leviathan: the IRS, only to create another bureaucratic leviathan which will collect the national sales tax.

    • On February 01, 2013, by bdubya - I can only think of a few government programs that are actually beneficial. We need to do away with taxes, we are taxed too much. I doubt you pay much taxes or you'd change your tune.
