The income tax is both effective and honorable

While other methods have been proposed, none can gain the necessary support to replace the income tax.

The nation has already shown that across the board tariffs are not acceptable. There will be no 21% across the board tariffs.

The income tax is not effective and it is not honorable. It taxes only people who earn reportable income. A national sales tax would hit foreign and domestically produced purchases and affect everyone much more evenly.

You evade the income tax by choosing welfare.
You evade tariffs by buying US goods.
You evade a national sales tax by making your own stuff.

Now, do you still maintain that the income is the most “honorable?” Really?

The income tax is neither effective nor honorable.

All that it would take to fix the problem would be for SCOTUS to make the correct ruling that the 16th was not ratified, since all but one of the states that took up the issue chose to first recreate the amendment in their own fashion, and then vote for their version.

It was then declared ‘ratified’ by the newspapers.
