From their site:

The solution we propose involves two actions:

* Passage of legislation that institutes a single-rate, FairTax on all final sales of new goods and services. This tax would become the chief source of revenue for the United States government, replacing all federal income and payroll taxes, yet generating the same revenue. The legislation provides for a tax rebate equal to the consumption tax paid on essential goods and services. The rebate ensures that no American will pay tax on the purchase of necessities.
* A constitutional amendment that would repeal the 16th Amendment and make a federal income tax unconstitutional.

You got it backwards. There cannot be a sequential invocation of the 'Fair Tax' and then the repeal of the 16th Amendment. They must be in the reverse order or simultaneous. To do otherwise is to invite Kennedy, Schumer, Clinton, and the rest of the Left to impose BOTH taxes on us.

Get rid of the 16th Amendment. Then I'll support your 'Fair Tax'.

From HR 25:

SEC. 101. INCOME TAXES REPEALED.

Subtitle A of title 26 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (relating to income taxes and self-employment taxes) is repealed.

SEC. 102. PAYROLL TAXES REPEALED.

(a) IN GENERAL- Subtitle C of title 26 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (relating to payroll taxes and withholding of income taxes) is repealed.

(b) FUNDING OF SOCIAL SECURITY- For funding of the Social Security Trust Funds from general revenue, see section 201 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 401).

SEC. 103. ESTATE AND GIFT TAXES REPEALED.

Subtitle B of title 26 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (relating to estate and gift taxes) is repealed.

Repealing specific acts of the IRS code, while short of a constitutional amendment, is by far better than the current system. If these specific IRS codes are repealed then the Democraps will be exposed for the socialists that they are once the economic benefits from this legislation becomes clear. Make April 15th just another day.

The 16th amendment doesn't tneed to be repealed, since it says: "Congress shall have the power to...", and NOT, "Congress Shall..."

HERMAN CAIN FOR U.S. SENATE!!! (wants to champion the consumption tax)
