Repealing the 16th Amendment isn't ever going to happen. That's just wishful thinking. It is important to realize, though, that the federal income tax was inflicted upon the U.S. by republicans eager to do whatever they had to do to get another tariff passed (Payne-Aldrich). It is the ignorant pursuit of tariffs that gave us the federal income tax in the first place. Something to think about as you advocate so enthusiastically for more and bigger taxes, and for greater government control of the economy.
All taxes are penalties. I have no problems with tariffs as a part of our penalty burden, if those taxes reduce income disincentives (income tax).
Do you?
