I have never seen the income tax come up on any ballot. It would take a repeal of the 16th Amendment to eliminate the Income Tax, and I don't think ANY of our elected officials are going to do anything to allow that to happen.

The Sixteenth Amendment authorizes, but doesn't require, an income tax. Congress could repeal the income tax anytime it wants to.

And that's the rub! The Congress Critturs ain't about to pull the plug on the feed trough! Anyone who believes otherwise is dreaming!
