The ancient libertarian dream

Getting rid of income taxes, and the IRS, is a dream as old as the IRS itself. Birchers, La Rouchers, Tea Partiers, et. al. The idea has been gaining a lot of traction of the last two decades among the conspiracists.

They also wat to get rid of the Federal Reserve, Public Education, Public health care, welfare, ...

A few years back, we ran into an issue with the IRS where we had to verify our identities over the phone. Called every day for weeks, never got through. Had our accountant call every day. Had a lawyer call everyday. This went on for freaking months. Once we finally got through, it was a five minute conversation. Hours of our lives wasted.

So enjoy IRS customer service!

Next thing you know, they'll be push for a return to the gold standard. I kid you not.
