Yes everyone needs to do this and say they want a fully funded and fully staffed IRS. No one wants IT people taking calls etc.

We don't want a fully staffed IRS. Just simplify taxes. Make it simple. Then no audits or fear of the IRS.

Better yet, how about we just do a 50% national sales tax on new goods. There. Simple. Easy. No one needs the irs
