The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.


So let's say it was repealed. I think this would go a long way toward curbing federal overreach. Or would the feds then move on to massive excise taxes on consumer goods?

Repealing the 16th would probably be a popular proposition. How did it manage to get passed in the first place?

Maybe we should have an amendment making the income tax unconstitutional then.

I'll wait here and hold my breath. :)

Do away with income tax and replace it with import duties.

Repeal the 16th, 17th, and 19th. Replace the 19th, and instead have a citizenship test, a $50 Poll Tax, and only married or current military/Emergency Services or veteran women can vote. Ban non-military, non-emergency services (excluding specifically social workers) government employees from voting.

If we had a measly $50 poll tax, so many undesirables wouldn't vote.
