Changing the tax code is very likely. Eliminating the IRS and firing 95,000 people isn't going to happen. At least, not at once. Maybe over decades.JohnStOnge wrote:I think I agree that it's more likely that a man will land on mars. I think there is a very high probability that that's going to happen at some point.She's full of **** and you're an idiot for voting for her if you truly believe that. Really, she may WANT to eliminate the IRS and EPA, but what are the chances of politicians actually doing that? You'd sooner see a man land on Mars than the Gov't eliminate it's Revenue collection agency and the EPA. Get real, John. Use some common sense, she's saying that crap to appeal to people like you who votes because a politician says what you want to hear.
However, there is a pretty good bit of sentiment for changing the tax system in a manner that allows for eliminating the IRS. I'd say the chances are less than 50:50 for sure. But I would not put that in the "can't ever happen" category. There are indeed quite a few politicians, including quite a few members of the US Senate and US House of Representatives, who support moving to a taxing scheme that would include eliminating the IRS.
The EPA? I don't think that's been talked about as much. But I don't think that's impossible either. The EPA is drawing more and more ire as time goes on.
As for Ms. Whitney: As I wrote in my first post about voting for her I don't think there's any chance she'll make the runoff. This was a case in which I felt safe about voting based on positions entirely. She won't make the runoff but another Republican will. That Republican will be running against Edwin Edwards. I'll be able to cast a "pragmatic" vote at that time.
Btw, let's get work on reducing expenses like foreign aid, corporate taxes, entitlements, etc... Maybe get someone to teach the govt to live within its means.
