A Renewed Call for True Structural Reform to Restore Trust in the Internal Revenue Service by Rebuilding Field Operations with Democratic and Republican Participation (Subtitle: There is No Doubt the Service is a Troubled Agency, Which Badly Needs Fixing; But, 'You Ain’t Seen Nuthin Yet' … Because Pervasive Discontent Must be 'Visibly' Overcome to Avoid Losing our Voluntary Self-Assessment System.)

Abstract

At long last, there is a path for Democrats to enjoy good national government and Republicans to simultaneously enjoy smaller national government. No one denies that something went wrong at the Internal Revenue Service; and everyone should understand that fixing it must be accomplished in a way the general public can respect. After months of street-fighting, we should finally accept as a people that the reality here requires moves that are publicly visible and well beyond a series of merely-helpful internal adjustments.
