Spurious News: Trump announces plan to reform the IRS

[jmowreader]

PALM BEACH, FLA (Spurious News Network) -- President-for-Life Elect Donald J. Trump believes the government should be recreated to meet the needs of today's Americans. Today, he announced a plan to reform Americans' most hated federal agency, the Internal Revenue Service.

He will rename the agency "Donald J. Trump."

"Millions of Americans despise writing checks every year to the failed Internal Revenue Service," Trump said in a press conference. "After this plan is set in motion, they will write them to Donald J. Trump."

Elon Musk, head of the new Department of Government Efficiency, lauds the new name. "Everyone hates paying the IRS. Lots of people love to pay Donald J. Trump, and after the name becomes official that's what everyone will do."

When asked if Donald J. Trump will continue to fund the government as the IRS currently does, Mr. Musk said, "after three months there won't even be a government, so no."

1. Trump wants to go back to the time the federal government was funded with tarrifs.

"Tariffs were the greatest (approaching 95% at times) source of federal revenue until the federal income tax began after 1913. For well over a century the federal government was largely financed by tariffs averaging about 20% on foreign imports."
