Sorry, dude (or dudette as the case may be), eliminate means eliminate. You can look it up in almost any dictionary.
Gone is gone and never the twain shall meet ... and it is embedded as part and parcel of the FairTax bill whether you like it or not.
With an operable tax bill, the 16th will be relatively easy to repeal as it serves no purpose - an anachronism - just like the repeal amendment. "Only a fool or someone who actually wants both taxes would do it otherwise."
Sorry dupe (or dupette as the case may be) it doesn't eliminate a damn thing. It's not possible for a law to amend the Constitution. You can look it up in any copy of the Constitution you can find.
You might need a remedial high school constitution course.
But nice try. I used to think you guys were ignorant, but I'm starting to lean toward you guys wanting both taxes. Just more big government advocates looking to expand their favorite thugocracy.
If you purposely do it backwards, what other conclusion?
