On Thursday, Florida Governor and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said he would welcome a bill to defund the IRS. DeSantis made the comments to Dana Loesch, a Second Amendment advocate and host of The Dana Show.
During the interview, Loesch questioned DeSantis on his position regarding federal taxation, asking:
If Congress defunded the IRS and sent such a bill like that to your desk, number one: Would you sign it? And then what would you replace the system with? Are you for a fair tax? A flat tax? Where do you stand on that?

If they de-fund the IRS, who will get all the weapons and the million rounds of ammunition they received a decade ago?

Don't know which method of taxation would raise the most moola. But it would eliminate the IRS which is another DNC weapon. When Paula Jones charged Slick Willie with sexual harassment her IRS returns were audited.

He's like santa claus, throwing 'gifts' out there for everyone. Reeks of desperation. He has to know as long as Trump can run, he won't win.

IMO, a stepped flat tax might be good, but a 'fair' tax, collected as sales tax, would greatly benefit the black market, who chief operators are Chinese and russian.

Right. Don't think that'll happen. Now, a flat tax, across the board, with the first, say, $35,000 exempt no exemptions, would be a good place to start.

Mostly hot air, what these folks expel.

I came to the US (legally) in 1992, 30 years ago. I have been hearing this BS from Republicans EVERY election since then. Sure thing. Politicians are going to mess with their cash cow. Kinda like "repeartions".

Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 was shot down by that year’s Ron DeSants, Mitt Romney.
We had a president who simplified the IRS and the result was the greatest economy this country has witnessed. And then the next guy added 75000 agents to politicize the IRS. Big government needs big IRS.
I don’t recall the previous Rove advised Republican administrations attacking the IRS, but I’m sure they are sincere this time around.

At one time it was believed a flat tax based on income with a max of about 22% would bring in more money than the current tax plans. Not sure this was true or not but I remember reading this a while back. Would it put HR Block out of business?

Yeah whatever. Talk is cheap. Taxes aren’t.
You ain’t even got a 1% chance of getting elected to POTUS anyway or anyhow Ronny. Then neither does Trump or any other republican.
At 61 years old, I never expect a republican to ever again be elected POTUS. And if one ever happens to be he, she, or it will be someone in the mold of a Romney/McCain/Bush…(expletive deleted) useless to our beloved Republic.

Ron DeSainthood just said Abolish IRS to make Trump say the opposite. I tried to find the recent sound byte by DeSantis saying he wouldn't take Veep because he is only meant for executive leadership. That would be a great bumper sticker. If Trump would only stand his ground and let the Lord do his fighting!

Most people are in favor of a flat income tax replacing the complexities of the current system. But, a flat tax falls heavily on low incomes. So, let’s exempt them (then it is no longer a flat tax). Then, the middle class looks at 22% and says whoa…that’s higher than what I pay. And the one percenters say yes, that’s less than I now pay.
IMHO, a tax hike on the middle class, a tax decrease for the top tier, and zero tax for lower incomes is political suicide. It would damage charitable giving.
Now retired, with some success I have income from a variety of sources. Each one is affected differently by current US tax code, and I need a tax program and hours of work to do my fed/state/local taxes. Yet, the 22% flat tax would effectively double my current effective tax rate. Not for me.

The pandering is getting huge quickly. There's not going to be much left to run on come 2024.

he can talk the talk all day long in his own state where he has a friendly legislature but dealing with the communists in D.C. is another story all together and
if anyone thinks this election will be a fair election they had better take a look around, the demcommies cheated in 2020 and will in 2024
as has been shown, a president is, at the least, ineffective if he has no supporting power in the congress, the real story of 2024 is who will gain the majority in the House and Senate, if it's the demcommies we better start learning Chinese

The only thing I disliked about Herman Cain's 999 tax plan was it was too darn much. It should have been 222. We're taxed way too much, and the 999 figure is too high for the leftists and RINOs to keep inching up. Greedy people always want more.

Yep, until he gets elected POTUS, and Mitch McConnell explains to him that they can’t get rid of the IRS as it is the main source of funding for the Deep State.

#1: it’s good that in a discussion of an important topic like the future tax code you have put your finger on what is truly important.
