Frankly, I don't see why Congress would repeal the 16th amendment once the income tax is repealed.
Actually, I think the states would be a harder sell. Do you think the states would repeal the 16th and lock themselves into a tax system that has them paying hunderds of billions in taxes?

Actually there is no "hundreds of billions" at all. That was just anopther of your liberal daydream/nonsence pieces with no information to back it.

Dear Your Nightmare,

I'm not even sure that all the putatively red states would ratify the repeal amendment.

I think the liberal politicians like Sens. Schumer, Clinton, Kennedy, Kerry, Mikulski, and others would run around the country telling folks, "Why do this?? You're tying the hands of the United States! What if we have a big recession, and we need to tax the rich to close the deficit?? What if we have a really big war, and we need to tax the rich to pay for it??"

And then, the folks who lose the NRST fight (liberals) will go to their liberal audiences and say, "We were defeated with the NRST, and it's JUST NOT FAIR THAT THE RICH AREN'T PAYING TAXES ANYMORE!! But we won't let them pass the repeal of the 16th amendment!"

That none of their arguments will make any sense will not make them any less effective, regrettably.

There are more than 12 states in the United States of America where to endorse ideas deemed to be conservative, no matter how good or sound they are, is to invite political death.
