If there’s one constant about the income tax code and the IRS, it’s that it’s constantly changing.  That’s documented every week on FAIRtax Power Radio in the congress.gov segment.  Apparently, internal policy at the IRS is not exactly a stable entity either.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys look at another Epoch Times article concerning a recent IRS policy change.  Citing security concerns, the IRS has announced that it is ending most unannounced agent visits to taxpayers’ homes.  That sounds like a good thing, but it raises the question of why we have a tax code where unannounced visits to people’s homes were even necessary in the first place.   Why not have a tax system where people pay their taxes at the retail cash register when they buy things?
