Although the repeal of the 16th is an attractive idea, it is a bridge too far. There is insufficient political support for the amendment. Politicians and the public simply won’t go there at this point in history.

Levin’s proposed amendment will cause a lot of complaining among the socialists but it has the potential to gain steam and support.

Just one opinion—there may well be other issues here and it is certainly a worthy discussion. Thank you for your post.

How about the 17th? Surely the participating states would be on-board with that.

That's exactly the kind of thinking that has put us right where we are today. It's time someone stand up and say enough is enough. Bipartisanship? Hogwash. Do the right thing or get out. I'm tired of seeing this country destroyed by wishywashy thinking that we have to be "bipartisan".
