Today, February 15, 2015, I’ve learned of 3 people from Middlesex, New Jersey, who’ve had fictitious tax returns filed on their behalf. One of the victim’s false returns was filed in California; the other two have yet to learn where their false returns were filed. Regardless, all three now have major problems with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
How does this happen? How does the IRS allow someone to file a tax return in California for someone whose employee records are all from New Jersey?
It’s become crystal clear that the IRS is far too large an organization to maintain any semblance of security of our personal data. Furthermore, if they run like many other government organizations, they’re probably run on old computers and obsolete software.
With the massive growth of ObamaCare and the involvement in ObamaCare of the IRS, it’s clear that more people will be violated, more refunds will be granted to fraudulent filers and more IRS employees to fix this mess will mean more government spending.
The solution? The IRS needs to go away. Forever. Shut the whole damned thing down and fire all the workers.
So how would our federal government raise enough revenue to continue to operate? Simple, a national sales tax. This solution would ensure that the wealthy pay the most, since they spend the most, while also insuring that everyone living in America is contributing to the cost of government. Everyone would have skin in the game!
Additionally, by abolishing the IRS, our federal government would save on the 89,000+ IRS employee’s salaries and benefits and their annual budget of $11.2 billion.
Finally, the databases of American’s incomes, healthcare coverages and other personal data could simply be destroyed, leaving Americans more secure.
So come, people, let’s make abolishing the IRS a prime issue in the 2016 election!
