“And do you have a bill in congress now that "guarantees" all of its "stated attractions"? Mind giving a cite to it? I am sure many of us would like to check it out.”

"No, And I certainly am not promoting a fraud upon the people as H.R. 25 is.
And tell me, what provision. is it in H.R. 25 which would prohibit a future Congress from calculating a tax from all corporate and individual income, payrolls, self-employment earnings, capital gains, estates and gifst ”? We are told H.R. 25 does this, now what provision guarantees it, how may it be enforced and a future Congress forbidden to calculate such a tax?."

HR/S 25 repeals the IRC in its entirety. FairTax supporters also support a repeal of the 16th whose primary co-sponsor is one of our strongest supporters in the house. If you believe that eliminating the income tax is important (as you appear to), can you tell me who is doing more to make that happen than FairTax supporters? I certainly don't see any evidence of supporters for your approach addressing that issue. As a matter of fact, I don't see any evidence of support for your approach at all.

I understand what you meant, but, in point of fact, HR/S 25 does not repeal the IRC in it's entirety.

Not trying to make a big deal - just pointing it out.

Shame on you. You know that's a lie.

“HR/S 25 repeals the IRC in its entirety.”

What you meant to write is H.R. 25 suggests the repeal of the IRS. Why are you fibbing?

H.R.25 is nothing more than a list of suggestions to a future Congress. Even if adopted by a current Congress, and signed into law by the President, H.R. 25 is nothing more that a list of suggestions to all future Congresses and would not bind any future Congress. Future Congresses would be free to tinker with the original proposal and manipulate it to accommodate the politically influential just as is now done with the current system In addition, without a constitutional amendment expressly forbidding Congress to calculate a tax from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, inheritances or any other lawfully realized money, Congress would be free to calculated a tax from the subject matter mentioned. So, in short and sweet language, H.R. 25 is a fraud being perpetrated upon the people.
