#U.S. Lawmaker Proposes Abolishing the IRS#

U.S. Congressman Buddy Carter has proposed a bill aimed at abolishing the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and eliminating income tax, payroll tax, estate tax, and gift tax. This proposal has sparked widespread debate, with the feasibility and potential economic and societal impacts yet to be assessed. Supporters argue that abolishing the IRS would simplify the tax system, reduce government intervention, and stimulate economic growth. They contend that the current tax system is overly complex and imposes a heavy burden on businesses and individuals, while a new tax system would be fairer, transparent, and more efficient. However, opponents fear that abolishing the IRS would lead to a significant reduction in government revenue, weakening the government's ability to provide public services and potentially leading to the collapse of the social welfare system. They believe that the current tax system, despite its flaws, remains a necessary tool for sustaining the state and providing public services. Currently, the bill has not gained widespread support, and its ultimate fate remains uncertain.
