In the interest of accuracy, the budget of the IRS is about $10B -
$11B - you're off by a factor of 10. I have no comment about any of the
rest of it.


You are correct, I misremembered that one.

Even so, the cost of compliance by the private sector are nearly equal to 20%
of the total collected. Nearly all of that would be eliminated under the
FairTax for business, and compliance cost for individuals would be one first
class stamp a year.
