WTH ALERT. They may MEAN well...or is this one of those wily "Oh PLEASE don't throw me in that Briar Patch" scenarios?
Republicans in the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that would abolish the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), eliminate the national income tax and replace it with a national consumption tax.
Vote on abolishing IRS part of deal between Speaker McCarthy and House Freedom Caucus
We need more Border Patrol agents, not IRS agents: Green
Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., weighs in the House GOP push to block the hiring of 87,000 new IRS agents and a new rules package on "Fox News @ Night."
FIRST ON FOX: Republicans in the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that would abolish the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), eliminate the national income tax and replace it with a national consumption tax.
Fox News Digital has learned that the House will be voting on Georgia Republican Rep. Buddy Carter's reintroduced Fair Tax Act that aims to reel in the IRS and remove the national income tax, as well as other taxes, and replace them with a single consumption tax.
The vote on the bill was made as part of the deal between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and members of the House Freedom Caucus and was pushed forward in his quest for the gavel last week.
Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., reintroduced the Fair Tax Act as the GOP takes over the House of Representatives.
"Cosponsoring this Georgia-made legislation was my first act as a Member of Congress and is, fittingly, the first bill I am introducing in the 118th Congress," Carter said in a press release exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital.
"Instead of adding 87,000 new agents to weaponize the IRS against small business owners and middle America, this bill will eliminate the need for the department entirely by simplifying the tax code with provisions that work for the American people and encourage growth and innovation," Carter continued.
"Armed, unelected bureaucrats should not have more power over your paycheck than you do," he added.
"As a former small business owner, I understand the unnecessary burden our failing income tax system has on Americans," said Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., in a statement. "The Fair Tax Act eliminates the tax code, replaces the income tax with a sales tax, and abolishes the abusive Internal Revenue Service. If enacted, this will invigorate the American taxpayer and help more Americans achieve the American Dream."
I support the Fair Tax because it simplifies our tax code," said Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., in a statement. "This transforms the U.S. tax code from a mandatory, progressive, and convoluted system to a fully transparent and unbiased system which does away with the IRS as we know it. It is good for our economy because it encourages work, savings, and investment. Thank you to my colleague Rep. Buddy Carter for leading this effort to simplify the system for American taxpayers."
"I’m very proud to once again co-sponsor the FairTax (sic) Act," said Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., in a statement. "We’ve seen a continued growth of the IRS and a persistent punishment of hardworking Americans via the tax code. What we’re calling for is a simplified and fair code that works for all, not just some."
"I urge my colleagues to support this commonsense legislation that fights back against the weaponization of the IRS and stops punishing those who work hard to succeed," she added.
Specifically, the bill gets rid of the national personal and corporate income taxes and abolishes the IRS — which is slated to hire 87,000 new agents unless congressional Republicans can stop it — as well as implements a national sales tax.
Additionally, the bill gets rid of the death, gift and payroll taxes, and it would replace the current tax code with a national consumption tax.

Eleven co-signers signed onto the bill, including Cammack, Duncan, Good, Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., and House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa.
The bill illustrates the hard-line stance House Republicans are taking with the Biden administration and their policies expanding the federal government, including the new funding for 87,000 IRS positions.
Summary: H.R.25 — 117th Congress (2021-2022) All Information (Except Text)
There is one summary for H.R.25. Bill summaries are authored by CRS. Shown Here:
Introduced in House (01/04/2021)
FairTax Act of 2021
This bill imposes a national sales tax on the use or consumption in the United States of taxable property or services in lieu of the current income taxes, payroll taxes, and estate and gift taxes. The rate of the sales tax will be 23% in 2023, with adjustments to the rate in subsequent years. There are exemptions from the tax for used and intangible property; for property or services purchased for business, export, or investment purposes; and for state government functions.
Under the bill, family members who are lawful U.S. residents receive a monthly sales tax rebate (Family Consumption Allowance) based upon criteria related to family size and poverty guidelines.
The states have the responsibility for administering, collecting, and remitting the sales tax to the Treasury.
Tax revenues are to be allocated among (1) the general revenue, (2) the old-age and survivors insurance trust fund, (3) the disability insurance trust fund, (4) the hospital insurance trust fund, and (5) the federal supplementary medical insurance trust fund.
No funding is authorized for the operations of the Internal Revenue Service after FY2025.
Finally, the bill terminates the national sales tax if the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution (authorizing an income tax) is not repealed within seven years after the enactment of this bill.
Folks, the 16th Amendment did not create a new tax on MOST Americans, it only redefined the SOURCE of INCOME from the FEDS. The FEDERAL Income Tax is a TAX on FEDERAL INCOME. If you are not employed by the federal government and/or do not receive federally connected income, you do not owe any tax to the Feds, and in many if not most, or all, cases, to the State. We've been terribly deceived:

"Pete Hendrickson @LostHorizons Dec 12, 2022 · · The Biggest Snow-Job In World History: The Myth That 1913 America Adopted A Marxist Progressive Tax On "All That Comes In"
Thank goodness the sun is now shining...
YOU'VE GOT TO ADMIRE THE CHUTZPAH of the state-loving, Americanism-hating Fabian socialists who infiltrated our schools and media in the early decades of the 20th century. These intellectual saboteurs pitched a truly absurd notion-- that in 1913 America adopted the kind of broad-application income tax advocated by Karl Marx. And they pitched this nonsense in the face of direct contradiction by every authority imaginable.
But the saboteurs did their work relentlessly, and with the clever exploitation of current events and the co-option of two powerful special interests. Over the course of 30 years, from 1913 to 1943, the saboteurs successfully "memory-holed" what had been universal public understanding of the 16th Amendment and the tax laws with which it was concerned in America.
In place of an accurate understanding of the income excise the saboteurs implanted a myth that the 16th Amendment was some kind of transformational political and legal event. According to this myth our great-grandparents inexplicably abandoned the core governmental structure under which they had grown to be the freest and most prosperous society in world history-- a strictly limited federal tax authority-- and replaced it with the most puissant foundational element of a communist social structure-- an authority allowing the state to reach into every pocket to take whatever the collective deems necessary for re-distribution to whomever the collective imagines needs it more (or for any other purpose dreamt up by those in public office).
The success of the myth-mongering saboteurs ushered-in a sustained period of widespread historical and legal delusion-- the healthiest environment for the flourishing of the Leviathan they serve. And flourish it did.
The myth is easily recognized as a transparent lie, once you know to look...
Think about what happens if they succeed in laying on us all their Central Bank Digital Dollars. The tax that was only laid on Federal workers and contractors, FOR THE MOST PART, will now be laid on us all, and our children, and great-grandchildren, etc. etc., $30 TRILLION AND GROWING, NO ESCAPE, extracted by the bank at point of sale. There will be no "saving", no "investment", etc., because remember, YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY. You will be given an allowance, and you will spend it or lose it, as long as you keep your nose clean and get your jabs.

HOW THEY WILL LIKELY ATTEMPT TO FORCE CBDC UPON US (Video)
I still remember the IRS agent that came to the front door. He was wearing a wool suit and cufflinks. Nice work if you can get it. :-/
I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. What did the IRS have to do with it? Did they have a (likely fraudulent) lien on the property?
excerpt:
"...the authorities for lien, levy and seizure are found in title 27. Title 27 is only Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms!
Knowing the authorities only apply in ATF, let me ask you this question ...
Is your property found in §7301, §7302, §7303 or §7304?
When was subtitle "F" enacted?
Subtitle "F" is where all the enforcement provisions for lien, levy and seizure are located. The code itself makes this statement:
26 IRC §7851(a)(6)(A)
"General Rule. -- The provisions of subtitle F shall take effect on the day after the date of enactment of this title and shall be applicable with respect to any tax imposed by this title."
Has title 26 (the code) been enacted into law? The unbelievable answer is, NO! The whole of title 26 has never been enacted into positive law. On January 14, 1983 (which was written into the the 1982 United States Code) Speaker of the House Thomas O'Neill wrote the following:
"Titles 1, 3, ... 23, 28, ... have been revised, codified, and enacted into positive law and the text thereof is legal evidence of the laws therein contained. The matter contained in the other titles of the Code is prima facie evidence of the laws."
Notice Title 26 is nowhere to be found. You can verify this by looking at the inside cover page of any volume of United States Codes. You'll notice Title 26 is missing the asterisk which indicates the title was enacted into positive law. If the code was never passed into positive law, what is §7851 saying? Here it is again.
26 IRC §7851(a)(6)(A)
"General Rule. -- The provisions of subtitle F shall take effect on the day after the date of enactment of this title and shall be applicable with respect to any tax imposed by this title."
It's saying the codes in 26 IRC are not effective. The codes will not become effective until Title 26 has been enacted into positive law. This does not mean the underlying code is not backed by law. The codes can be used as "prima facia evidence" that a law exists, but are not laws themselves. There is a difference. Taken at face value, however, the code is saying the day after Title 26 is enacted into positive law will be the day the provisions take effect ... not one day sooner!
I write this solely for those of you who wish to research this angle of the law. It is true (and truth is truth) but I would not rely on this information in a court of law. It has a "silver bullet" taste and that always makes me defensive! Your case should be grounded in law. ..."
