I've heard you say this before but I never remembered to ask, where does the rest of the government's revenue come from? I would have thought that the majority of the government's revenue comes from the IRS. If there was no revenue from the IRS, but the governemnt would still have the same revenue as it did in 2000, where would the rest come from?
