But You are Right...sort of. With the Fair Tax there will No Longer be a need for the IRS as we know it...so on that Specific detail your wrong. However, there will still need to be a MUCH smaller tax enforcement agency at the state level to monitor and verify collection of the Fair Tax at the retail business level, etc. The number of those that need monitoring is VASTLY reduced under the Fair Tax so the number of those and size of organizations needed to do the monitoring will be vastly reduced. There has been millions of dollars of research done by highly touted economists that have verified all of the costs of maintaining a collection system under the Fair Tax, and the numbers are significantly lower. Not only will the bureaucracy and the cost of, be greatly reduced, but it also will eliminate the nearly 400 Billion dollars a year that the American people pay to to fill out the forms and comply with the current system. The Most Significant reduction of Bureaucracy will be the intrusion into the personal lives of Americans. NO ONE will EVER have to tell the government how much income they make. They won't have to go through the Audits that tear deeply into their PERSONAL lives and information. And they will no longer have the threat of imprisonment over their heads for not correctly understanding a 60,000 page tax code and forgetting or misplacing a few receipts they should have filed in their boxes of reciepts in the closet. It's true that some form of Tax Collection agency will still need to be in place, but if people can't realize that there will be a HUGE reduction in bureacracy and intrusion by the government, then they are blinded by personal views that have nothing to do with the Fair Tax.
