It would be a nightmare to have both. IMO passing HR 25 makes it much less likely.

IMHO passing a national sales tax makes it much MORE likely we will end up with both. Obviously passing a national sales tax is one of the steps to ending up with both, we already have the income tax half. So your can claim that passing a national sales tax, which does not eliminate the 16th Amendment as a prior requirement for passage, will somehow make it less likely that we end up with both, is just backwards.

Dingdingdingding... We have a winner!

Included in HR 25 will become law upon passage:

defund the IRS
eliminate withholding
destroy existing income tax records (save those delinquent at changeover)
erase the entire income tax code

So how does making these for things happen put us closer to having both?

It doesn't. The closest we are is NOW - when all it would take is a vote in congress and tomorrow we could have both.

But HR 25 implements some formidable obstacles that do not now exist. Those obstacles are what will prevent the income tax from coming back.

Again, why do you select only portions of a post to reply to?

Dear RobFromGa,

It would be easy enough to remedy this fatal flaw of the NRST: Just change the legislation so that it would only come into effect after the repeal of the 16th Amendment. Write into the repeal amendment any sort of transition required between the two systems, but only permit an NRST to come into effect once the power to impose an income tax becomes unconstitutional.
