Glenn Beck and Judge Napolitano should be very careful in encouraging tea party participants to call for a constitutional convention. They should be encouraging every tea party member to start a campaign demanding Congress send to the states for ratification a Constitutional Amendment providing that:
The Sixteenth Amendment is hereby repealed and Congress is henceforth forbidden to lay ``any`` tax or burden calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, inheritances or any other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
This would bring us back to our Constitution’s original tax plan, imposts, duties, and miscellaneous excise taxes on articles of consumption, and, a direct apportioned tax if Congress borrows to meet expenses…a built in method to balance the budget!
