I am quite confident if you want someone to save the country, that person would not be one who proposes to put another tax on the menu for Congress to fatten itself with, a nine percent national sales tax, in addition to taxing corporate profits and the wages working people earn. Our founding fathers would never have tolerated the gouging of America’s businesses and working people in such an extraordinary manner to fund the expenses of Congress. Indeed, those familiar with our Constitution’s original tax plan, will testify to this fact.
And in reference to a “national sales tax” which I might add defies our Constitution’s rule of apportionment, and goes as far as taxing every necessity of life a working person buys, it is only self evident that such a tax is the darling of depots and political schemers who dream of a tax which may constantly be increased in such small increments, say a quarter of a percent at a time and would avoid significant outcry, that the proverbial frog will eventually be cooked before attempting its escape.
And yet, that quarter of a percent will cleverly drain billions upon billions of dollars from the American People’s pockets, which will then be used to grow the beast which our founding fathers intended to be the people’s servant and not their master.
There is but one tax reform needed to control the beast in Washington and that is to add the following 32 words to our Constitution, which would bring us back to our Constitution’s original tax plan that paved the way for a free market system to work, and helped America to become the economic marvel of the world, when it was followed!
The Sixteenth Amendment is hereby repealed and Congress is henceforth forbidden to lay ``any`` tax or burden calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, inheritances or any other lawfully realized money

“…..with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities“. Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address
