  Exactly this. They know they have no legislation that could actually achieve the abolishing of the IRS, let alone the intellectual capacity to write the bill.
  Then they would actually have to pass the bill, which means accepting responsibility for votes, and taking the time to do it. The 2017 TCJA was a bunch of prescripted bills put together by the Real Estate lobby.  
  Who would think, allowing rich people to get tax deductions for owning multiple homes in a  corporate trust, would cause a housing shortage?  Corporations also have foreign investors,  so many US homes are sitting in corporate trusts called Real Estate Investment Trusts, where foreign corporations are getting tax breaks on owning residential property in the United States. 
  Republicans have sold out the country in more ways than one can imagine.
context: If they hate taxes so much why didn’t they eliminate them when they had control under Trump? >
  
  Because it is all performance. They kbow there is no chance this passes in the senate. So they can pretend they are doing this, without actually doing anything.
