eliminate the national income tax

I think you'd need a Constitutional Amendment for that.

replace it with a national consumption tax

Isn't that going from the frying pan into the fire.?

I think the Delusional Left would LOVE to see this bill passed. The income tax portion would be struck down as unconstitutional and what would we be left with?

An income tax AND a "consumption" tax!!!

What to these people have for brains???

I see where congress has the power to tax income, but I don't see where it is mandatory for them to do so.

I don't see where they have the power to tax consumption.

No, just because the 16th Amendment allowed for an income tax it does not require Congress enact such a tax. Congress could deauthorize collection of an income tax but the next Congress could put it back.

While a wonderful thought this will not happen.
