Repeal the 16th Amendment



This is an idea whose time has long been in the making.  By repealing the 16th Amendment the country would benefit immensely by eliminating the federal governments power to tax individual citizen's income and a parallel benefit would be either the total elimination of the IRS or at least a significant reduction in its size and power.  This item briefly considers the alternative of either the flat tax or fair tax proposals with have been around for some time as candidates for replacing the odious income tax.  Consider this quote:  "It has now been proven beyond any reasonable doubt that the existence of an agency such as the IRS is too great of a temptation for ambitious politicians. The Sixteenth Amendment must be repealed. Further, the very purpose of taxation should be refined to funding government operations. It should never be allowed for social engineering, redistributions, punishment, or spying."
