First problem: repealing the 16th Amendment which is such a long shot, it's almost not worth talking about. Bye, bye "consumption" tax which has the potential to be as complex and intrusive as the current income tax.

Second, the goal should be a tax that is SIMPLE and LOW. A 10%-15% flat tax fits that bill. Everybody pays the same % tax. Bye, bye 74,000-page tax code. Bye, bye giant, threatening IRS. Hello economic boom in America greater even than the 25-year economic boom following Reagan's tax cuts.

The 16th ammendment was not ratified:

it was fraud. And the liberal media had a worse monopoly then in the early 1900’s than they do now as there was no internet. so this income tax is a great unconstitutional fraud ,tyranny and freedom robbing injustice perpetrated on a free people. It must be repealed and or exposed. The income tax is communism and against freedom . to say that an individual’s property or income belongs to the IRS is an abomination. repeal the 16th. Give me liberty or give me death! funny how the USA actually grew faster economically than all other countries without the 16th until it was “ratified” in 1913 or around there.
