Of course we will have another tax system. We will not have TWO systems. Part of HR 25 is to abolish the 16th Amendment.

1. House resolutions do not overturn amendments.

2. There WILL be a transition period. Then comes a CRISIS and oh so sorry, but we need money for this or for that. There is debate now regarding future tax cuts because of Katrina. And Katrina wasn't on the map (literally) a month ago. WHO KNOWS what the next *dire* federal need will be?

3. See my earlier posts. ANY tax system requires administration, including this idea.

And who thinks the states are going to overturn the 16th and lock us into a tax system that has them paying an estimated $346.2 billion in FairTax on their purchases and the wages they pay their employees?

[Actually, governments don't pay taxes, they just raise the taxes on their citizens.]
