Yes, of course!

The 16th was the Marxist inspired “progressive” Income tax - ratified on February 3, 1913.

The 17th established the direct election of US Senators - ratified on April 8, 1913.

Both amendments took power and control away FRom We the People and gave more power and control to the federal government.

Both the 16th and the 17th amendments need to be repealed!

IMHO, the Founding Fathers got it right by not allowing the direct election of US Senators and by not allowing an income tax.

IOW, they wanted We the People to be the Master and the government to be the Slave!

The Constitution acts on the people and the states; to deny a component member of the greater republic a seat at the legislative table is tyranny. Only the occasional Scotus decision stands between the states and their complete subservience to a national government.
