If we ever get a chance to be a free people again, the Constitution needs amending in the taxation area. This amendment should; set a national sale tax rate of say 7.5% , repeal the 16th amendment (income tax), eliminate the ability of congress to write tax law except in national emergency, require 3/4 of the states to approve the declaration of national emergency, sunset any national emergency declaration after two years, phase out all government transfer payments, outlaw property taxes of any type. Everybody pays, no one skates. Remember it is not the constitution that is bad, it is the people.
This is so important. It defies explanation as to how and why the American people ever accepted perpetual taxation of real estate. What on earth were we thinking. I find it disturbing that people actually think they have private property rights or that they actually own real estate, they don’t.
