ABOLISH the IRS and Implement a Sales Tax?
Curious to hear what this community thinks about the proposed legislation to get rid of all income taxes and instead implement a sales/consumption tax? It is very unlikely this passes, but could it actually work?

Haha that's awesome, I need to take a little pride in that ranking. So here's my take and it really is common sense...
At the end of the day I go back to 2 scenarios -(1) you can dump 20 people on abandoned island somewhere or (2) go back to "caveman" days and separate but also true, no matter what it comes to eventually violence will be the end to force something. Study the actions/thoughts/emotions of those people and that will tell you exactly what you need to know and how the world functions at it's base instinctual level. The farther you get from this base level the more problems you have.
You don't gather yourself food - you go hungry. Someone has a legitimate broken leg, you take care of them and give them a separate task to do. I can tell you for a fact all this LGBTQ, gay, feminist, BLM, feeling hurt BS goes out the window with a quickness. That kind of stuff only exists in a society SO privileged that everyone's basic needs (plus lots more) and completely taken care of. You get this sense of entitlement when people don't have to work for their basic needs so they think they deserve more than what they are given. On top of that it creates absolute degeneracy in society because there are no punishment's for people actions because people are more worried about their feelings than surviving.
Child molester? Rapist? Murderer? Chop their head off in public. I bet the next person thinks their actions through a little better. Some may say - "oh how barbaric" - but really, is it? It's not, it's just that you are completely a byproduct of the mainstream and people around you. Now if you're on a deserted island and there's a child molester...what do you do? Ban them entirely from ever coming back for life (ie: life in prison) or kill them (death penalty). It's not so wrong anymore is it?
And since we're here - here's the 3rd thing I've been pondering lately...they had a women's work movement in the 40s-60s. This is great - and there ARE exceptions, I am just stating a generality here which is what the rule would be. Rules are made for the generality - not the exceptions. So the govt encouraged women to go to work - this has several consequences (1) more govt income since women are working (2) puts kids in the public school system so they can be taught by a govt made curriculum. (3) Now the mother and father have less time with the kids, and less time with each other. What does this encourage? Independence. What happens when you get independence - well you get people thinking for themselves. Now they can, to a varying extent be controlled by what they see, what they hear etc. What do they see and hear? Mainstream media pushing their agenda. On top of that it encourages divorce. What do we see in those years - a massive spike in divorce. Sure there may be other reasons, but it's too coincidental for this forced independence not to be a contributing factor. On top of that divorce for women is rewarded - good chance of alimony and more child support that was was necessary to sustain the same life style as before.
So what's a problem? Good conservative men. What's the epitome of evil as defined by the mainstream media - a good conservative man. They are now encouraging men to get all in their feelings, be emotional, be trans and all this other complete and utter BS.
