Quote:If it's in the party platform, I'm pretty sure it's not the minority pushing it.  Each plank of a party platform has to be voted on in order to become a part. 

 

 

Quote:You could manage the intake of revenue through the treasury department.  You don't need an agency with 90,000 bureaucrats to collect taxes.

 

Of course, if you abolish the IRS, who will manage healthcare for the sheep?

 

The majority of libertarians, at least the ones running for office, support a flat tax.

 

You need someone to intake the money.  Whether you call it the IRS or the Department of the Treasury or the Department of Agriculture, it's irrelevant.  No libertarian supports the IRS as it is currently, in any way, shape, or form.  I think the Libertarian Party's platform is more the abolition of the IRS in its current state rather than its complete abolition, unless you just give some of their responsibilities to another department, but what's the difference really?
