Does anyone else believe that the IRS and the Federal Reserve should be abolished?

Answer 1

Yes...It's time for America to take it's monetary system back.

The American People need to pull a 180. We need a completely new game plan. Our government is disgrace.

Many, Many, people will need to come together to demand change. We are running out of time.

Answer 2

I believe the entire US Government is corrupt. The IRS is the money machine that feeds the beast. A national tax revolt would certainly put the Fed on notice. The federal deficit, according to the US Treasury, now stands at around $8.8 trillion. We will never pay that off! Our great-great-grandchildren might get it done after 75 years of sustained economic prosperity, but why saddle them with the debt that was racked up in our time?

The IRS and the Federal Reserve will never be abolished the way things are now. They serve only the wealthy, not us. If you want change, then pay your federal taxes to your state government instead of the IRS. Or donate it to charity. We're already in hock to the tune of $8.8 trillion, so how much worse can it get? They're gonna keep on scamming us until we push back. We have nothing to lose.

Answer 3

~Oh, absolutely.
We should let individual banks set monetary policies and interest rates and those individual banks should have no supervision or control. No one should be charged with the flow or creation of money, any bank with a printer should be able to crank out as many bills as it wants, as often as it wants. Hey, maybe we can make things here like they were in Germany between the wars. We can push our cash around in wheelbarrows and get mugged for the wheelbarrow. I love runaway inflation, devalued dollars, unaffordable imports and double digit interest rates, don't you. And without the Fed, maybe we can appoint the State Bank of Podunk to negotiate with the World Bank and other national banking systems to try to keep the Yen and the Euro in line. It is time the Peso supplanted the dollar as the international monetary standard, and once we do away with the Fed, we can make that happen.

As to the IRS, who needs them. We receive nothing for our tax money, so why have taxes or an agency to collect them. Let individual towns and villages pay for the interstate system. Screw Social Security - or maybe we can keep that and make the Social Security Administration collect the funds. That'll provide jobs for all the IRS agents you just put on unemployment and welfare. Why have anyone collect federal unemployment insurance? I trust my boss to pay me if I get laid off. We can do away with all the money that goes to the arts and education. Who needs a standing military? A militia worked 231 years ago, why can't it work today. The FBI, the Secret Service, ATF, federal elected officials? Lose them all or make them collect their salaries directly from the people they protect, defend or represent. Close the federal prisons too, Then we won't need to create an agency to collect their funding. Just think of it, without IRS to collect their salaries, we wouldn't have to pay all those government employees at the post office, the immigration and customs offices, the national parks, the NLRB, or anyplace else. I could go on, but why bother. This is already more than such a lame question merits.

Note to Jesse...
Read Amendment XVI of the constitution

Aside to the answerers who blame the IRS for tax law and policy: the IRS does not write the tax code, congress does. IRS simply implements and enforces the code and collects the money. Should the code be changed? Most assuredly, but not by a neocon congress. The last major revision was Reagan' s Robin Hood in Reverse Act and neither the economy nor middle class America can stand another hit like that. I'm still waiting to waiting to catch my few meager drips from the "trickle down" program.

Answer 4

YES!

Flat tax. The IRS has too much power anyway.

Get some of these cooperations like the Oil Companies that had record Billions of dollar profits to kick in.

I pay 28% of my earnings just to the federal government, that's just one of the taxes. Over a quarter of my earnings goes to them. How the hell is that fair?

Federal reserve is a SCAM. Owned by private corporations who profit off the money. Study the subject, its a damn scam.

Answer 5

Yes and yes, especially the IRS. Ooh, that rhymed. But seriously, the IRS is disgustingly corrupt. I hate the US' tax policies. I can't believe people go to jail and lose everything they own for not paying a bill they never signed up to pay. Holy crap! This is why I vote Libertarian.

Answer 6

The federal reserve is THE greatest threat to the US and economies worldwide. The federal reserve is about to crash and bring a depresession that will rival that of the Great Depression. Get ready yuppies it's coming.

Answer 7

Reformed,not abolished.Certainly,nobody with a whit of sense would suggest that we shouldn't have to pay any taxes.How would you get to work,or to the store,or go on vacation?The Interstate Highway system is one of the things that has made America great.We need to pay the bills.The biggest complainers about their tax burden seem to be the ones who benefit most from the relatively small U.S. taxes.If your employees can not get to work,you can not make your product.I realize that things are changing,but you still need people to buy your product,people to transport your product,and people to consume your product.They need to get to work as well.The Fed is a different story,but what is the solution?Got a better idea?

Answer 8

During the civil war some will and some will not.

Answer 9

Absolutely. Its been a long time coming. Too long.

Both are unconstitutional.
This is fact.

Created in 1913!! Not 1776!!
Geez, how did we ever survive??!!

I find it amazing how glaringly obvious it is.

Answer 10

No, just Liberalism.
