It's not about taxes, it's the IRS
I say we take a page out of the Republican Playbook. I say we quash the Tax cut frenzy once and for all. Afterall, it's not really about taxes, it's the IRS.

It's time we exempt people from paying back taxes who are enduring hardships. Get the IRS off their backs.

1. It's also about time we end sweetheart tax breaks to
fat cat contributors. That would go a long way toward both streamlining the tax code and raising revenue.

We also could persuade them to write more of their forms in English. I just finished the inheritance tax form and the language was Byzantine, to say the least. They don't WANT taxpayers to be able to do that one, and it sucks.

2. Federal Reserve
How about getting rid of the private banks (Federal Reserve) that value & control our currency? We should save a lot in interest if our government handles these functions directly.

3. Shake up
AND TELL THEM IT IS ABOUT TIME THEY EITHER REVOKED THE SO CALLED RELIGIOUS PREACHERSTEALERS TAX EXEMPT STATUS OR TELL THEM TO STAY THE HELL OUT OF POLITICS.
