>CHICAGO, May 5 (UPI) _ Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott has called for 
>abolition of the Internal Revenue Service, saying
>the time has come not to ``mend it (but) end it.'' 
>
>In a speech today before the Economic Club of Chicago, the Mississippi 
>Republican presented a six-point plan for overhauling
>the nation's tax code. 
>
>Lott said, ``If we do the job right. we should be able to achieve another 
>essential goal: the abolition of the IRS. 
>
>He added, ``That's why my own preference is to replace the IRS with a 
>Taxpayer Protection Agency....The new agency would
>be committed to ensuring that no one pays more than his or her fair share 
>as it is collecting federal revenue.'' 
>
>Lott said the nation's tax burden _ federal, state and local _ should 
>total no more than 25 percent of income and he called for
>repeal of the federal income tax amendment if Congress adopts a federal 
>consumption tax. 
>
>The tax code, he said, should stop ``penalizing achievement and 
>responsible behavior'' and should be simplified dramatically. 
>
>Lott said, ``When it comes to the IRS, don't mend it, end it. 
>
>``We must remember that we are for lowering taxes because we believe that 
>the people who work and earn the money should
>keep more of what they earn.''
