First … the briefest of overviews: Simply put, HR25 would provide for the repeal of the 16th Amendment

Another lie, HR25 does NOT provide for the repeal of the 16th amendment... Was he saying something about lying and not knowing what's in the fairtax?

Thank you for the clarification. THe bill does NOT include repeal of an amendment. It simply "calls" for its repeal - whatever that means.

The repeal of the 16th amendment comes from HJR 45 IIRC.

But there are those that argue the 16th is not what gave feds power to tax income in any case.

For this reason, HR 25 makes the taxation of any kind of income illegal (not unconstitutional).
