I had worried about the same thing...the 16th Amendment needs to be repealed first. But HR25 has language in it that makes the repeal of 16 a prerequisite for implementation of the NRST.

That being said, I still think this beast is a bad idea. The problem IS spending and that needs to be addressed first before putting Band-Aids on the tax code problem.

This is not true, there is no such restriction in the bill just a suggestion.

Amen to that.
