“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.

It dismantles the IRS and repeals those sections of the IRC having to do with income taxes. FairTax supporters also have a repeal the 16th bill in congress. Do you have a bill to repeal the 16th? If not, then it would seem that your proposal has a greater chance of having the problems that you fear with the FairTax than the FairTax itself does.

BTW, can we maintain some semblence of civility by refraining from inflammatory phrases like "fraud"?
