The 16th ALLOWS for an income tax. It does not mandate it.

As people get accustomed to their full paycheck again, I think that they'd rather lynch their reps and senators than allow them to reinstitute an income tax.
But for just that reason, I'd love for those SOBs to try.

Nonetheless, If we let those bastard politicians have both a sales tax and an income tax we will end up with both. No NST until the Income Tax and the IRS is abolished.
Any other result is stupid.
