With the news that DOGE will be auditing the IRS for waste, corruption, and fraud, the Left has responded with their usual hyperbolic fury. When you're investigating corruption and fraud and people tell you to stop, it's very likely you've found the corrupt people committing the fraud.



Said President Trump (I love writing that!), "The IRS will be looked at like everybody else."

It's about time. Americans have long been forced to rely on professional accountants or commercial software in order to prepare their annual income tax returns. Errors on these returns may result in costly audits and legal penalties. If you're looking for guidance from the tax code itself, be prepared to wade through 75,000 pages of regulations.



In The Federalist No. 62, James Madison wrote,

"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulged, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known and less fixed?"
This is the government our Founders warned us about. How many of those

regulations are special exemptions, written in at the behest of lobbyists and other special interest groups in exchange for benefits returned to those in Congress who wrote the bill?

Not only is it long past time for the IRS to be audited, it's also long past time for a national discussion on replacing the current federal income tax code with an alternative such as a Flat Tax or a National Sales Tax, AKA the "Fair Tax." There are benefits and drawbacks to both, but either one might be preferable to what we have now.


This is great news for the American people....I say let's go through them line by line, and find out where the money is going....

Ya know the old saying, If you want to find the crime, follow the money....

These are deathblows to the progressive agenda.
