I agree with him completely on IRS and dept of education. Neither is competent or useful and both make life harder to improve for common Americans. For the other two dept I don't have enough knowledge to state they should be removed but Energy needs to be a forum with some federal government intervention, most likely just a lighter hand 

How would the national governmenet collect taxes then?

The IRS did not exist for about our 1st years. The IRS as it currently exists is about the least efficient way to collect taxes. There are several concepts that can work but it is not as if he can simply abolish it without setting up the rest of the framework

Like what? What type of system to replace it? 

 

Do you have a model from another country?

Estonia would be better but the main principles would need to be: 

1) simplified  personal tax code- flat tax would be best if not Fairtax

2) business taxes would be main driver of audits

3) new organization would focus on helping people with paying proper amount. 

 

I don't care what it is called but the focus would have to change radically from the current system where  agents are rewarded for "catching" people who did not understand the garbage tax laws to an organization that makes it easy to stay within the law.

You'd still have to catch tax cheats, right?

If you think that they do it efficiently then you are stupid, If you think that harassing normal people is acceptable you are unethical, otherwise your question is not worth my time because that is not why the IRS is garbage.

thats what every politician does.   We all vote.

 

 

every politician capitalizes on irrational fear?  I don't see that as a major D strategy.

Getting played worked very well in 2020...

Huh, it was a subpar midterm election for the R's.  They won fewer seats than avg for an opposition party with an opposing prez and certainly fewer than they expected or wanted.

Being able to make fun of yourself - libs are incapable.  Mostly because they are incapable of enjoying themselves.  
 

 

 

You live on another planet I guess.  Most creative people lean left.  Comedians, actors, anything artistic.   Your planet must be ruled by Jeff Foxworthy and Kid Rock.

Most “creative” jobs in Hollywood are given to group think leftists.  
 

 

And that’s pretty much all that needs to be said about that.

This is a losing strategy.  He's trying to out trump, trump.  I'm optimistic that many DeSantis potential R voters are more moderate.  That's where he has votes to pick up.  And he works on being more homophobic.  Just nuts
