Ben Carson Tells CPAC Crowd: We Need To 'Get Rid Of The IRS'

[DonViejo]

Conservative darling and potential 2016 presidential contender Dr. Ben Carson on Thursday told the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference that the nation should find a way to "get rid of the IRS."

Carson kicked off his speech with a joke acknowledging that he'd recently been placed on, then taken off, the Southern Poverty Law Center's list of anti-gay "extremists."

"If you're black, and you oppose the progressive agenda, and you're pro-life, and you're pro-family, they don't know what to call you," he said, "you end up on some kind of watch list for extremists."

The former neurosurgeon then turned to politics proper, asking, "How do we use the incredible brains God gave to recognize when things don’t work?"

Without delving into many specifics, Carson described his vision of a country that "puts our Constitution on the top shelf — and for those who have any doubt, that includes the Second Amendment."

3. No IRS -> no taxes -> He won't get a salary as POTUS.

But maybe he just means that the IRS is unnecessary and that people will pay their taxes correctly on their own.
