Actually, before 1913, you could have income tax without apportionment on limited types of incomes. The 16th Amendment broadened the scope of incomes — to all forms — to which this tax could be applied without apportionment.
If we really want to meaningfully kill the federal income tax, we could not simply repeal the 16th Amendment and expect income taxes to go away. They would just be more limited.
What in tarnation are you talking about?????
The Federal Government was financed by Tariffs (Import Duties)) from its inception, till the Income Tax in 1913!!!
