We've already made the arguments for the repeal of the 16th, 17th, 18th (done!), and 26th amendments, so now it's time for the women's suffrage movement to take its turn in the barrel.

Every time this discussion comes up about the most destructive amendments, I notice people *ALWAYS* leave out the 24th, which I believe is the absolutely most destructive amendment of them all, with the 14th being a close second.

Why can't people focus on the 24th? Do they not grasp what it has done to the nation financially?

Yes, the 26th is a bad amendment, and so are several of the others, but the 24th is what has been financially killing us since 1964.

FWIW, most Pennsylvania localities STILL have poll taxes, most commonly called a “per capita” tax. They just can’t be tied to the voter franchise.
