    It costs the IRS $0.34 to collect every $100 from citizens and businesses.

    We should just go to a federal sales tax and eliminate the IRS. IMO

    Or go with a low, fixed rate income tax that applies to everyone and businesses alike. And fire half of the irs employees. No more paying to do your taxes.

    Not in favor of a sales tax, pay 10 per cent now. Besides Trump is gonna make all my income tax free.

    Can't endorse the fatal part, but I'm reasonably sure a catastrophe will follow shortly.

    It was nice getting premium in Iowa for 2.40. It was less nice to get back home and pay 4.45 for 87 :(

    1973… right after Nixon showed just how much the Fed is a political organization.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    So, the Gas Price Hike scare was a bust. Still $4.35 for regular. gov.cal.gov states it was all false and nothing but the normal 1.6 cent per gallon raise for the year.

    The human brain develops slowly compared to other animals. It takes almost 30 years, roughly half our average lifespan, to mature and refine its connections. A mouse brain fully develops in just 5% of its lifespan.
