Sure. The Regress always keep their word and scrupulously obey the statutes and the Constitution.

Sure they do. Right. Uh-huh. All other Fed taxes will just go away. You've got the Regress' word for that, eh?

In a pig's eye.

I have to agree. What I fear is we will end up with a VAT or a National Sales Tax on top of all the taxes we all ready pay. Promises will be made to get rid of the income tax but the Political Class will never manage to actually give up the Income tax.

The Income Tax gives the political class too much power. Too many ways to punish their political foes and reward their political clients.

What I think tax reformers should be pushing is a flat tax. Either that or a vastly simplified tax code.

Progress in this society is always evolutionary, not revolutionary. Tax reformers should be taking small bites out of the existing system rather then trying to swallow it whole.
