Thank you for referencing that article reed13k.

"Trump's Tax Vision: No Federal Income Tax under $150k"

---

Trump needs to do something more permanent to end unconstitutional (imo) federal taxes which is ultimately to lead the states to repeal the 16th Amendment (16A; direct taxes) imo.

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.

  ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

• "16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

After all, presidentially unqualified (imo) Harris is going to throw Trump's work out the window when she wins her rigged POTUS election.

In the meanwhile, it's now up to Trump's red tsunami of patriot voters, evidenced by 2024 elections, to clear the way for the states to support Trump in repealing 16A by primarying all state and federal candidates in 2026 midterm elections who don't publicly promise to support Trump with the repeal amendment.

After all, Republicans (RINOs?) suspiciously introduced a referendum to repeal the 16th Amendment.

• H.J.Res.61 - Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the sixteenth article of amendment.

• H.J.Res. 61 (117th): Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the sixteenth article of amendment.

Since Pelosi was speaker at the time the referendum was introduced, it any surprise that the referendum was ignored?

The 16th Amendment is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime front-ended by corrupt Congress imo, that amendment also wrongly weakening our 4th Amendment protections imo.

"4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

The 17th Amendment, popular voting for federal senators, needs to disappear too.

We'll call the repeal amendment Trump's Boston Tea Party II Amendment.

Once unconstitutional federal taxing and spend is stopped, the states will ultimately find a tsunami of new revenues that they probably won't know what to do with imo, healthcare and education on the short list of priorities.

I would support that if they also do not get to vote!

no one who doesn’t pay taxes should be allowed to vote.

[RitchieAprile]

Better that RMD from IRSs be eliminated.

Everyone needs skin in the game.

Right now, half the population has no skin in the game.

[I want the USA back]

And yet the filthy bastards on the left will cry “tax breaks for the rich.”

BTW, I disagre with this proposal. Everyone should have some skin in the game, as another FR’er just posted.

“That’s not insane.”

Some pay their taxes from their excess, others from their need.

Why should someone making $35,000 a year owe the Federal government anything?? That is barely the cost of a decent used car. Remember, the Federal government doesn’t need to tax income at all. Their representatives have admitted this since the 1940s. Remember, Income Tax was enacted as an amendment on a “Stick it to the Rich!” Platform. People who make under $500k are not wealthy, not in places like California or New York, Florida, Colorado, etc. Won’t even buy a shack.

It makes people vested in the government and its policies

[damper99]

No tax on $150 K? That shows us how much the dollar’s value has eroded or will erode. Welcome to the new poverty level in the future.

[Freedom4US]

Sorry, not buying it. It hasn’t worked i.e. failed miserably anyhow. Now what?

That wouldn't matter (in a negative way) if there was hardly any goodies for the cheap masses to give themselves. Get rid of FedGov's ability to directly tax the people, and repeal the 17th at the same time. That'd fix alot of it!
