More like complaining about government's audacity to spy on and take from citizens. IRS takes from citizens, it doesn't do anything for citizens.
> If you don’t like taxes blame congress, the IRS like the police just quietly avoids anarchy.
You can't be serious. For most of our history, we didn't have an IRS. We didn't live in anarchy.
Nobody is against taxes. We had taxes before IRS existed. And if the IRS disappears, we'll still have taxes. Not only that, income tax unfairly penalizes the middle class workers while the wealthy are not ( income tax rates are much higher than the capital gain rate ).
Income taxes aren't used to build roads. We have gas tax for that. Income tax is used to fund wars and to line the pockets of politicians and bureaucrats.
- coldtea 8y ago>Nobody is against taxes. We had taxes before IRS existed. Yeah, but not for that long: "The United States imposed income taxes briefly during the Civil War and the 1890s. In 1913, the 16th Amendment was ratified, permanently legalizing an income tax."
- qubax 8y agoThere are other forms of taxation beyond income tax. Sales tax, property tax, etc.
