Perhaps you will show us just where this is required by the Constitution.

Perhaps I am just a dumb aging Southern Boy transplated out of the South and nowhere near your par. I could have sworn the XXI Amendment stated the following;

Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several states, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the states by the Congress.

Silly me, I guess that only applies to repealing certain amendments.

Well, since we are not discussing the repeal of the 16th amendment until after implementation of a viable tax system as an alternative to the current income tax system, that is rather useless. Especially seeing as that has been attempted many times across the last century to no effect. We still have the 16th amendment inplace, no one has had the gumption to replace the income tax statute without a viable alternative in place yet.

Sorry if one does not learn from history, they are bound to repeat it. You can wait for your amendment. I'll continue to work to repeal the statutes and then see what we can do about repealing the 16th when it becomes obsolete.

By the way by your sights,

"NO TAX REFORM WILL WORK UNTIL UNTIL THE OUT OF CONTROL FEDERAL SPENDING IS BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL."

Repealing the 16th is just a part of tax reform, doesn't address what you state as your goal. You had better get out there and figure out how to stop all them Congress Critters from deficit spending and buying votes first.

Uhhh - D, R, - we're not discussing the requirement to repeal, but the tax system.
