“However, the 16th Amendment will be repealed but the states may be allowed to administer their own income tax so long as they pay the federal government the level of taxes they have historically with year to year adjustments based on population data (apportionment).”

You cannot legislate to repeal an amendment to the Constitution, I believe that will take 38 states to ratify.

Who said it wouldn’t take 38 states? Where are you reading that it wouldn’t?

There is legislation to repeal the 16th Amendment and there is a passionate commitment by the FairTax sponsors to repeal the 16th Amendment. Where do you read they are thinking to repeal it without following the Constitution?

Are you another one these detractors that erroneously reads what you want to read into statements and then projects that error back to the person making the statement?
