It's about the power of the IRS to circumvent funding from Congress and grab money from innocent people. The forfeiture laws were intended to catch illegal activity (drug money, etc.). Instead it is being used to pretty much confiscate legally earned money from small businesses. When a protest or challenge is made, they will usually offer to give back 50% of the confiscated money. Many people will do this to avoid costly fees associated with taking it to court.

If this is a reason to, as you say, "abolish the IRS", you might as well abolish every single law enforcement agency in the country, be it local, state or federal. Because they are all using civil forfeiture laws to take money and property under the suspicion of criminal activity.
