*Libertarian Party: Don't waste time investigating IRS, abolish it NOW
along with income tax*
*Return to 1992 spending level would allow balanced budget, end to income
tax*
The presidential administrations of Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy,
Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and, now, Barack Obama have
all been caught using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to target
political enemies.
As long as we have the IRS — and the income tax — we should expect more
presidents to use their power to silence and intimidate free voices. No IRS
investigation or firing of a few scapegoats will change that.
"We must abolish the IRS and end any need for a regulatory agency that
snoops into people's private lives," said Libertarian Party Executive
Director Carla Howell. "We must draw back total federal spending to the
level of 1992, which is more than enough to fulfill the government's
constitutional duties to protect our life, liberty, and property. This will
allow us to balance the budget immediately, end the federal income tax
completely, and give back an average of more than $12,000 to every family
in America."
"We don't need an income tax, and we certainly don't need the IRS," Howell
said.
The Libertarian Party is the only political party in America calling for
both dismantling the IRS altogether and dramatically and immediately
downsizing Big Government.
"The Libertarian Party is running candidates to dramatically downsize the
federal government," Howell said. "We can cut federal spending by 50
percent, or even 90 percent, and Americans will be better for it. We can
end the personal income tax, the corporate income tax, the death tax, and
all federal payroll taxes. There will be no need for the IRS, nor any
substitute agency."
"Ending the income tax, abolishing the IRS, and cutting federal spending to
the level of 1992 means no more deficit spending," Howell said. "This will
stop inflation and stabilize prices. Even more importantly, it will
transfer wealth out of the wasteful, dysfunctional and destructive
government sector and into the productive private sector, resulting in a
bounty of new jobs and prosperity for Americans."
"We will make living in America and doing business in America much better,"
Howell said. "Individuals, businesses, and political organizations will all
be safe from government interrogation and free to express their political
views. It will dramatically increase the wealth of the private sector and
inspire hundreds of billions of dollars in investment in small businesses
and American jobs."
Another benefit of abolishing the IRS is that it would become far more
difficult to fund massive interventionist military presence and warfare
around the globe.
"It will also require our massive military budgets to go down, which
currently encourage overseas meddling and war," Howell said. "We get rid of
the IRS, we get rid of the income tax, we dramatically downsize federal
spending and taxation, and America and the world will be better for it."
