IRS question

[mmink15]

I know that if we cut spending to 2000 levels we can afford to eliminate the IRS. The question I can't answer is where does the government make it's money then?

The categories listed at the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) are: personal income taxes, corporate income taxes, social insurance taxes, excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, customs duties, and "miscellaneous."

there are 300 other taxes that the government makes money off of, including the billions made form gas tax per gallon, import and export taxes, etc

they have plenty of money without taxing our labor. In fact the 1982 ronald reagan grace commission report states that not one penny of individual income taxes goes to government services, but is soley absorbed by the national debt (interest on the debt), which adds up to over 500 billion dollars a year now......in other words, that money goes strait into the pockets of int'l banksters who are stock holders of the FED.........this is the biggest scam of all! We could sav ethat 500 billion a year by simply phasing out the irs and fed and coin and make our own money, interest free! Imagine whatw e could do with that 500 billion for americans
