“Abolish the IRS” is the only thing Conservatives say that resonates with me as a progressive. But it’s a lot like ‘defund the police’ where the tag line doesn’t quite align with the policy proposal. You don’t really abolish the IRS, you point them exclusively at businesses and take individuals off the hook. You could restructure the income tax as a VAT, make life a lot easier on everyone, and even the people who are not here legally are paying their fair share. If they’d make some noise about this stuff, instead of the pro-wrestling theatrics they seem to spend their time on these days, they would be a lot more palatable to people.
