"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.
The IRS doesn't fund the federal government. WE fund the federal government.
Semantics aside, YOU called other's moronic for advocating abolishment of IRS.
I guess the founding fathers were morons for throwing tea in the harbor.
IRS -> Collects Taxes from "WE THE PEOPLE" -> Provides "FUNDS" to Treasury, ergo THE IRS THROUGH TAXATION "funds" (AS A VERB) federal government. "WE" are not of our own volition, happily sending the goverment untold taxes, we do so under duress and penalty of prison.
Getting the IRS off our asses, and out of our paychecks sounds good to me. Returning to a pre 16th form of funding seems superior to me. It would result in immediate shrinking of federal goverment.
Sounds like I am arguing with a tax collector of some fashion, who doesn't mind rooting through peoples pockets for the "Good of Society", GTFO out of here with that statist, collectivist bullshit. Your ilk are the reason the USA is currently a steaming pile of shit, making excuses for years of commie group think.
You charge that I'm a tax collector, as if that would somehow be an insult. Meanwhile, your dizzying intellect of mental gymnastics indicates that you're something of an NPC.
So let's play out the hypothetical of abolishing the IRS. Then who collects taxes for the federal government?

Yup, it is. Tax Collector. Consider yourself insulted.
Taking others property under threat is wrong, period. Time to re-start the tar and feathering of your mindset.

YOU have brought us full circle to my original point you absolute regard.
Please explain how the federal goverment was funded (collected taxes) before the IRS was created...I'll wait... (I.E. Who and How were taxes ever collected if their was no IRS in existance pre 16th.)
Your entire arguement has been "Eliminating the IRS is foolish, and anyone who would put forth such an idea is a moron" My question to you since the start has been "SOME MECHANISM WAS IN PLACE TO COLLECT REVENUE BEFORE THE IRS EVER EXISTED"
Im done arguing with someone who ignores logic, argues semantics, shills for statism and collectivism, all while ignoring the salient points I have pointed out.
To put it bluntly, gtfo commie. Limited goverment is the best goverment. Please continue your arguements for more goverment, k thanks.
LOL...

Are you really this dense, or just an NPC?
