#U.S. lawmaker proposes abolishing the IRS.#

U.S. Congressman Buddy Carter has introduced a bill that would abolish the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and eliminate income tax, payroll tax, estate tax, and gift tax. The bill has sparked widespread discussion and controversy. Proponents 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, placing a heavy burden on taxpayers, while the IRS operates inefficiently and is plagued by corruption. Opponents argue that abolishing the IRS would lead to a significant decrease in government revenue, making it impossible to provide essential public services and potentially leading to societal instability. They also point out that the bill is unrealistic, as the government needs funding to operate, and eliminating taxes would result in a government fiscal collapse. At present, the bill has not received widespread support, and its ultimate fate remains uncertain.
