“Wants to scrap the federal income tax by repealing the 14th amendment”

The Federal Income Tax is the 16th Amendment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Amendment_to_the_US_Constitution

The 14th Amendment gives black Americans citizenship, makes the Bill of Rights apply to the States, requires equal protection before the law, abolishes legal segregation, etc.

Granted, *parts* of the 14th Amendment need to be changed or reinterpreted, such as giving citizenship to children of illegal aliens born here. But not repealed.

Repeal the 16th, agreed. Repeal the 17th, the Direct Election of Senators, agreed.

The “anchor baby” thing is an administrative determination. You have people reading more into that statement than is really there ~ it can be reversed, and since it’s just administrative and not based on any law, it’ll reverse the citizenship status of all those who previously benefited from it ~ as well as their offspring.
