Nice try, but anyone can see that your tricks and obfuscation in order to leave the 16th in place for future mischief are purposeful. I think you are a liberal Democrat plant on this site, like many others.

Nice try Mortimer

There are no "... tricks and obfuscation ...". Just read the bill. It is quite obvious it eliminates our current income tax system in a very forceful manner.

You merely can't read apparently. The 16th would have nothing to "hang its hat on" - nothing to operate with. The income tax would be gonzo and the 16th would merely be an anachronism like the prohibition amendment and just as easily repealed.

Your unfounded guess that I'm a liberal Democrat plant or even a Democrat plant or even a plant on this site is both quite wrong and quite laughable. You sound more like that that I. Claiming the 16th must be repealed first is merely an anti-FairTax delaying tactic, nothing more.
