I don't think that is true. I think it's about 75% personal income tax and about 25% total for corporate income tax, excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, customs and other miscellaneous. And of that, aren't corporate income taxes and estate and gift taxes collected through the IRS too? I'm guessing if you ditch the IRS, maybe you'll get 10% of current revenue.
