The problem is we are now paying for our own deconstruction and destruction.
An out of control, foreign dominated foreign city state of DC, almost universally rigged elections, combined with our taxes collected by a privately owned foreign entity that takes its vig before deciding how much to send back, means that we have no 'taxation with representation' any more. Our money just flows from our accounts and paychecks to them without any recognizance, except who they bribe to get in on the con.

Or would the feds then move on to massive excise taxes on consumer goods?

Is there any doubt in your mind?

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

That would have a triple benefit:

1. no income tax
2. encouragement of US manufacturing jobs
3. less dependence on China

Good point.

The massive coordinated election fraud negates our supposed representation.

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

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

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.
