farm bill and taxes

congress just passed A 9.2 billion farm bill. Idont know why they call it A farm bill bcause only 12 percent of it goes to support the farm and ranch families.The big share is going to nutrition programs like school lunches .food stamps and forein aid.Also pet projects that the senators take home and brag about their accomplishments so they can get reelected. I see there was recently another bill introduced in congress to do away with the internal revenue service and have A national sales tax of 22 percent or A flat tax with A tax report form the size of A postcard.if we eliminate the I.R,S. who is going to check up on us to see that we pay our proper share of taxes. How many people would be paying their fair share of taxes if there was nobody to check up on them .Dont fall for the national sales tax or the flat tax idea it would only make the rich people ritcher then what the present tax system is doing.Ill agree that people that are smart enough to run A successful busines or excel in sports are entitled to a bonus but it dosnt have to amount to legal robbery as is being done in many cases now.The people that are out there working for thirty or forty thousand A year and producing the wealth are working just as hard or harder then the guy that is sitting in the office and taking most of the profit.
