Actually, it looks like they removed the part that would have repealed the 16th Amendment. They just repealed the IRS and the applicable legal code.

Without repealing the Amendment itself, it'd just be a matter of burying an income tax in an appropriations bill and we'd be right back where we are, but with two taxes instead of one. HJ Res 61 needs passing BEFORE moving ahead with HR 25.

You can't just steak a vampire out. You need to cut off the head as well.

Reqe that again, D.C.. Subtitle A & B are the income tax provisions and the payroll tax provisions respectively ... and they ARE repealed by the FairTax - just as it says.

The bill also calls for the repeal of the 16th amendment as does this from the FairTax website:

If you can get the amendment AND the Fair Tax passed in the next year I'm all for it.
