What taxpayer has paid the IRS more than anyone in history?
That would be Elon Musk.
He paid them $10+ billion.
Is the taxes from just that one man enough to keep them happy and running smoothly?
You’d think so.
But they just begged for $20 billion, not from him, but from the government.
But guess who works for the government now?
That’s right. Musk.
And so Musk shared some thoughts on what he wants to do with them, using polls.
And 60% of the people voted to wipe out the IRS.
Elon Musk: I paid over $10 billion in taxes. I was hoping the IRS would send me a little trophy, but I didn't get anything.

And Musk did this by posting a poll.
First, he asked if we should abolish them and get a flat tax system.
Should we abolish the IRS and go with a flat tax system?
A) Yes, flat tax now
B) No, keep the IRS but lower taxes— Not Elon Musk (@iamnot_elon) November 20, 2024
Then he pointed out that they’re begging for $20 BILLION more!?
These leeches of society freak out if you don’t give them a few hundred but they’re begging for thousands of millions?
The IRS just said it wants $20B more money.
Do you think it’s budget should be:

As you can see from the poll, the people are wanting the IRS deleted!
New York Post reports:
Billionaire Elon Musk asked social media users Wednesday if the Internal Revenue Service should be “deleted” — a day after a top Biden-Harris administration official urged Congress to give the federal agency $20 billion.
“The IRS just said it wants $20B more money,” Musk, who will co-lead informal Department of Government Efficiency under President-elect Donald Trump, wrote on X.
The world’s richest person then asked users for their thoughts on the tax authority’s budget situation.
“Do you think its budget should be: Increased, Same, Decreased, Deleted,” Musk asked in a poll.
More than 60% of X users preferred having the IRS’s budget “deleted.”
“The IRS is going to potentially have to make dramatic decisions about stopping hiring and starting to budget for a world in which they don’t have $20 billion, which will stop a lot of their progress,” Adeyemo told reporters on a press call Tuesday.
”If they don’t get that $20 billion that is at risk they would run out of enforcement money at the current pace sometime in fiscal year 2025,” he added.

Oh no. Anything but that. They’re going to run out of enforcement money!
Good.
And good riddance to the IRS!
Nobody wants them and they’re unconstitutional.
Don’t just defund the IRS. Abolish this rogue unconstitutional entity entirely! #TaxationIsTheft pic.twitter.com/0uLkCEcFpq

It wasn’t always this way.
Monday Morning IRS Madness!
Everyone knows the only two things in life that are certain are death and federal income tax. Alas, it was not always that way. Prior to the 16th Amendment Americans did not pay federal income tax, in fact a federal income tax was unconstitutional…

Seems those over at the IRS live by different rules.
But I get it.
Why would they extort themselves?
That’s not what gangsters do. They extort you, the people.
An audit has revealed that over 5,800 IRS employees and contractors owe nearly $50 million in unpaid taxes. Despite the IRS's authority to terminate employees who willfully fail to pay taxes only 20 individuals have been dismissed
