There is nothing wrong with, let alone unconstitutional about the IRS. Somebody has to manage federal revenue collection, e.g. taxes (not all are illegal). The actual problems are who is in the IRS, are they doing their actual job, are they doing it within the authority of the law and free from abusive directives by higher executives, and are said tax laws are themselves constitutional?
Abolishing the IRS would be as moronic as abolishing ICE. Both are constitutional and frankly, necessary. But just like the rest of the federal government, the swamp that is the current department needs to be drained and reformed.
The IRS doesn't "fund" the federal government. It is an agency of the Treasury, tasked with tax law enforcement and revenue collection, which prior to the 16th Amendment (one of the worst) was primarily generated from exports and imports.
Your problem, the problem, is with the 16th Amendment, bad tax code, and corrupt/inept civil servants working within the IRS (and countless other areas of the federal government).
Use your brain. Make logically valid arguments. This whole "AboLiSh thE IRS" shtick just makes you sound ignorant.
Right from treasury website
"Where does federal revenue come from? If you lived or worked in the United States in 2022, your tax contributions are likely part of the $4.90 trillion collected in revenue. The federal government also collects revenue from services like admission to national parks and customs duties on foreign imports and exports. This revenue is used to pay for government activities (employee salaries, infrastructure maintenance), as well as to pay for goods and services provided to United States citizens and businesses."
Sure sounds like revenue raised is used to "fund" the buisness of the US to me.
