Not unless the bill bases implementation of the fair tax contingent on repeal of the 16th amendment.

Repeal the 16th Amendment and this bill also becomes unconstitutional since it is not levied in direct proportion to the census.

Couldn’t it be said this new tax would be in “direct proportion” to the census? Since it would apply to everyone, the “proportion” would be 1:1.

Just an idea. Since it’s vital the 16th amendment be repealed, especially if this new tax is created.

Otherwise we could simply write our senators and tell them to include similar language as the 16th.
