Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s purge of the federal government is continuing, with 6,700 probationary employees of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) set to be fired as tax season looms.

Speaking on Fox News on Wednesday night, Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, confirmed by the Senate earlier this week, said the administration’s goal was ultimately to abolish the IRS entirely.

thats a very good goal. Worldwide, income tax should be abolished alongside other direct taxes.
Only indirect forms should be used if we want to remain slightly free.
