My dream is a constitutional amendment that repeals income tax and authorizes sales tax.
My second dream is a constitutional amendment that establishes the percentages required to pass a budget.
For example, if the budget remains steady or spends less than previous years - simple majority.
If it increases spending by an amount that is less than the previous years rate of inflation - 55%.
If it increases it more than the rate of inflation - 60%.
If it is not a balanced budget an additional 5% is required.
If Congress does not pass the budget by 00:01 on the new fiscal year, then the previous budget is automaticly reinstated at a 2% reduction for each department and Congress may not change the automaticly reinstated budget during the fiscal year.
[still dreaming]
My dream is a constitutional amendment that repeals income tax and authorizes sales tax. This dream is not so far off.
There is no amendment required to authorize a national sales tax. They could put it on us tonight.
Nor is an amendment necessary to repeal, eliminate, and erase the entire income tax code. These two things are already in HR 25 the Fair Tax.
There is a sister bill (HJR 45 I think) that is an constitutional amendment that would do two things:
1) repeal the 16th amendment
2) make the taxation of any kind of income unconstitutional
Check it out.
