Especially since the Fair Tax act and the 16th amendment repeal would have to be 2 seperate things...
couldn't you make the repealing of the 16th a rider on the bill for the fair tax act?

Wait. Are the taxes you're speaking of federal taxes? If so, there would still be the same amount of federal funds available as last year. What am I missing?Coqui said:Hmm if this is the case, there's a definite con unless they can come up with school funding by another means.
No, because one affects the Constitution, and one doesn't. Does anyone know if there is an option to simply 'change' the wording of an Amendment?why_ask_why said:couldn't you make the repealing of the 16th a rider on the bill for the fair tax act?
Exactly. So I just set myself up as a wholesaler of everything and live taxfree!why_ask_why said:taxfree would equal wholesale, no? that would mean it was being sold to a vendor, not the end customer...again, I don't know the specifics of this very well so this could be completely wrong

Sarcasmo said:Riders by definition aren't relevant to the legislation they're attached to, though. And of course, the 16th amendment is constitutional, meaning it wouldn't work that way anyway. But assuming it did, repealing the 16th amendment would of course be entirely relevant to the passage of a completely new tax structure, and getting everyone to agree on every word of every point would be next to impossible.
why_ask_why said:they were able to accomplish this to create the 16th so logic would dictate we follow the examples they set in getting that done...one would think anyway
I am, I like playing the staus quo and fucking poor people.taeric said:So, I'm somewhat lost on the final tally. Am I the only person against the Fair Tax thing still?

Sarcasmo said:I'm for it so far, but it needs to be ironed out a bit.
taeric said:See... I just don't get that. Either you are for the Fair Tax or you are against it. There is no, I want it to be ironed out. That is just a shorter way of saying I'm against it, but I could be persuaded if they had a good thing.
In other words, if it was to be voted on right now. What would you vote?
Zis, zis is why you arent in charge.Sarcasmo said:I'd vote yes. Fuck the repercussions.
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE THE SECOND AMENDMENT. JOO TAKE OUR HOCKEY, WE SHOOT YOU HAHA.Sarcasmo said:NO MORE HOCKEY FOR YOU!
Have the finer details even been worked out yet?taeric said:See... I just don't get that. Either you are for the Fair Tax or you are against it. There is no, I want it to be ironed out. That is just a shorter way of saying I'm against it, but I could be persuaded if they had a good thing.
