“I think the idea of a National Sales Tax is laudable but only after the income tax is abolished and the 16th amendment is repealed.”

Exactly how many previous amendments to the United States Constitution have been repealed?

How long did getting that repeal take?

Anyone — you, or anyone else in this forum — who really believes that the 16th Amendment is going to be repealed is living and dreaming in a fantasy land.

Even if Republicans retake the Senate in 2012 (fairly good chance of that), they are NOT going to get a 2/3’s majority.

And those ‘rats who are left will DIE before voting for such an amendment.

It ain’t happenin’....

Just sayin’....

Yeah...that's kind of the point! Since we can't get rid of the income tax it's crazy to add a sales tax!
