Sounds like you are being intentionally obtuse.
Pigdog didn't say HR25 would eliminate the 16th. He said it eliminates the IRS. Which it does. It requires the IRS be stripped of funding. It requires all income tax records be destroyed.
Also, the 16th doesn't REQUIRE an income tax. It only allows for one. If you require that the 16th be repealed BEFORE implementing a new tax system, then what will fund the government during the gap ? Or do you mean the repeal must happen simultaneously ?
Finally, remember that it doesn't take HR25 or anything else to allow for a National Retail Sales Tax. Congress could implement one any time they felt like it. In addition to the Income Tax. After all, is there really any difference between the current excise taxes on gasoline, tobacco, and alcohol ? They are just targeted Sales Taxes.
You seem fixated on the fear of ending up with both income and sales taxes. We have both already. The FairTax is a movement to eliminate the first and rely only on the second.
It only sounds that way to people who are clueless to the actual exchange.

Of course not, it would mean he conceded my point. BTW, I never claimed he did, so you make a strawman.
I'll adress your other incorrect staments later. I must depart now. Ta ta.
