IRS doing a poor job collecting nation's taxes

For several years, most people have agreed the IRS is a terrible way to collect money from American taxpayers.

A better idea is using a small postcard, simple, easy enough that a literate person could read it accurately, sign his or her card and put it in the mail.

Using this method would save millions or even billions of dollars toward a treasury surplus.

It is past time for the House and Senate to get off their duffs and pass it as a gift for all Americans.

Mr. Wilson,

Replace the IRS with a postcard? It would seem that you left out a few steps. I don't understand how a postcard can actually collect collect taxes. It seems that you need to flesh your idea out a little bit, so the folks can understand it.

Support the Fair Tax. If you haven't read the book do not dismiss this plan based on untruths. This plan could change America I believe for the better. It's got to be better than the mess we have now.
