eliminate the national income tax
I think you’d need a Constitutional Amendment for that.
—————
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.
Good point but I’m not sure a “consumption tax” is any better than an income tax is it? If so, why?
I’ll tell you why this is messed up, a really bad idea, and one the Left would LOVE to see happen.
Once you’ve installed a “consumption tax, good luck getting rid of it.
Later, and as soon as possible, a bill would reintroduce the income tax and now you have BOTH the consumption tax and the income tax.
There’s no getting around it. The ONLY answer to our recovery of our Free Constitutional Republic and rescue from oppressive tyranny is to DISMANTLE the $3+ trillion 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the feds.
