Well it’s certainly better than having an agency that is weaponized against certain people and political groups, or is allowed to run amok terrorizing its citizens and shaking them down like the mafia. You won’t have people committing suicide because some IRS agent has a hard-on for them and his making their life a living hell over a few thousand dollars owed. My accountant told me one of his clients committed suicide because of an IRS agent who wouldn’t leave him alone. The family ended up suing the gov and winning millions. I’d rather pay a 23% tax on consumption and not have these bastards running around and dealing with the convoluted tax codes and bullshit of filing taxes every year.
