That would be merely guaranteeing that there would be no passage of the FairTax - or for that matter, the repeal of the 16th either

I'll guarantee both of those right now.

I'll take your guarantee to be worth exactly what it cost me ...

Dear Jim Noble,

You can see that the folks who support the NRST can come up with no sensible reason for pushing for implementation of the NRST before the repeal of the 16th Amendment.

You can see that they reject the idea of including language in the NRST legislation to the effect that the NRST would only come into being once the 16th Amendment was repealed. Alternatively, constitutional amendments have been written with effective dates that were delayed, which, in this case, would provide the federal government the time to switch over from one tax collection system to the other.

You see assertions that that's not possible, but little by way of reasonable explanation why that is. Assertion without argument.

This is what is regularly offered up on behalf of the NRST.

I don't know why in the world we should encourage Congress to starting taxing us with a national sales tax before we strip them of the authority to tax our incomes.
