Yup the one who wants to either get rid of the IRS and the departments of Education, Energy and Commerce entirely or to use them to "push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life." See this thread
I saw one article on that. What I did not see is any form of actual plan. Was he asked what happens to Trademarks and Copyrights? What happens to nuclear waste? I am sure all the businesses in the country will love the idea of getting rid of the Department of Commerce, which includes copyrights and trademarks.
Fascists don't need a plan to destroy things.
The less of a plan they have the more effective they are at destruction.
The IRS, at least, was always intended to be temporary, as was the federal income tax.
At least he can remember which ones he wants to eliminate. That's a step up from Rick Perry.
