You didn't know the IRS was forced into being the same time the Federal Reserve was? They are both unconstitutional entities. Why WOULDN'T you want to remove the IRS?

Unconstitutional or not, the IRS is supposed to collect funds from citizens and corporations, so that the federal government can have enough money to perform its duties, such as pay for the military, pay for social servies(ss, medicare/medicaid/disability/unemployment), pay government employees their salaries, pay to develop and maintain infrastructure(bridges, highways, schools, airports, libraries, airports, seaports, hospitals,etc), etc.
Of course most of the responsibility falls to the state and municipalities in america as the government is decentralised. Every country has an internal revenue service, how do you think nations operate?
I DO understand that the Federal Reserve is a private central bank that is seperate from the government, composed of big banking heads that collect interest on every dollar printed and more or less run the government themselves. We need a public central bank! Ron Paul and perhaps Gary Johnson want to take down the FED and IRS and replace it with competing currencies backed by the gold standard i assume. I don't think we have enough gold or silver to account for such vast amounts of money. Fiat currency is not the problem, it is that we have a private central bank.
Here is a great link I found that explains everything. Europeans have the same problem and that is why their socialism has failed. They relly on investors(including the bankers) to issue them money at interest. The government does not issue its own.

I hate to break it to you man but the income tax collected only goes to pay for the interest fees on the money owed by the US GOVERNMENT to the Federal Reserve.
The IRS is UNconstitutional and therefore is not lawfully allowed to exist, which means anybody that argues that the IRS should be abolished is lawfully, legally, constitutionally, morally correct.
You can share your opinions on why you think it should exist but at the end of the day, the IRS' existence is a moot point.
The Federal Reserve is also an illegal entity, per the Constitution, congress coins money, this is undebatable as well.
