Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but do you really think the government will actually abolish any department? Naw, all they'll do is rename it and carry on like before. The only taxes the government is allowed to take is from the importation of goods. Income tax is illegal, and not Constitutional. If the Republicans in the house think they are going to get the IRS eliminated then they are cray-cray. The Senate and the President will veto that bill post haste. Let's see what this Republican congress does in a couple of years, when the new has worn off.
