Well IF The 16th amendment were to be repealed I would have no problem with a NRST. although I perfer the Tauzen version with the lower rate and a seperate collection of SS and Medicare taxes.

The reason is SS needs to be privitazed, if there is 1 tax that includes SS it will become much tougher politically to kill a bankrupt SS system. The porblem of SS will be buried in the overall budget, which is what the socialist rats want.

The other reason a NRST tax would be a disaster for small goverment is the FACT that a repeal of the 16th amendment is not going to happen, It would require 67 Senators, 292 Congressman and Ratification by 38 states.

Which Rats in the Senate do you see voting for the repeal of the Income Tax??? Daschle? Boxer? Kennedy? Hillary? Dodd? Mikulski? Schumer? Kerry? Leahy? Reed? Graham? Bakus? ... we would need all the GOP Senators and 16 rats. You tell me how that will happen.

Which Rats in the House do you think will vote to repeal the 16th amendment??? Kennedy? Waxman? Mc Dermitt? Rangle?.. We would need all the GOP House members and 62 Rat congressmen to pass a 16th repeal..

If you really believe this could happen, I'd like some of what you are smoking.

Perhaps if YOU would possess the humility to see the NRST isn't feasible at this time due to the risk of ending up with both a Income and Sales Tax, you could support a feasible ax Reform which may be ( I'm not sure even the Flat Tax can get through, too many timid RINO's), which isn't perfect but gets 90% of the way there.

I need a WHOLE lot of convincing that the 16th amendment can be repealed.

Good points, all.

We out number them. It is a simple numbers game. The pols you mentioned will not be in office forever, and it is likely that we can send one or two of them home on this issue in the coming elections. Once a few of them are "diselected" because of their tax and spend policies, the rest of the crowd, to whom keeping their job is paramount, will have a change of heart.

We have got to get a large enough number of Americans supporting this idea that every pol would realize that it would be political suicide to oppose it.

Then, We the People win!
