Dear Nuc1,
"Sorry, I don't agree with you, provided the constitutional amendment allowing income tax is repealed."
Well, it isn't.
The NRST legislation does not require repeal of the 16th amendment first to go into effect.
Rather, the legislation recommends the repeal.
Thus, the NRST, if passed, would be put into place, the current Internal Revenue Code would be repealed, but we'd still have the 16th amendment out there.
And we'd still need 2/3 of each House of Congress to pass a constitutional amendment, and 3/4 of the states to ratify it, to finally kill off the 16th amendment.
Which is pretty unlikely AFTER the politicians get to foist a new tax on us.
Pretty soon, for one reason or other, we'll hear calls to restore just a little itty-bitty income tax, only on the rich folks! They'll promise us NEVER to tax us little folks!
LOL.
It's deja vu, all over again!

The sixteenth has got to go. Otherwise you are absolutely correct. It sure is funny when the congress critters make sacred promises except that we always get it in the end.
