The only way to repeal the income tax is with a constitutional amendment.

That's just not true. The 16th amendment authorizes the income tax, it doesn't require it. Congress and the President can repeal it any time. Repealing the 16th amendment would just be insurance against them passing it again.

So, you believe tax and spend politicians, the kind who’ve never seen a tax they didn’t like or a dollar they didn’t want to spend, are going to just up and legislate away the income tax????

And then leave it that way.

Sorry, Hugin, you’re a nice person, but that is simply more than I can swallow.

We REPEAL the 16th amendment and I’ll support the other, but not until.

Politicians are the devil.
