    I see we have an adolescent troll hijacking the thread.

    There are those among us who will continue to try to convince the people, especially those who are participants in tea parties across the country, that they cant do anything to take back their country, that they are helpless. This is a lie and history proves it. Let us look at the history prohibition and the 18th Amendment and how it was repealed.

    Please check HERE for how the 21st Amendment [ending prohibition] came to be. It was submitted to Congress by Sen. Blain of Wisconsin and then sent to the states by Congress for ratification with the stipulation that conventions in the states would have to approve the amendment as opposed to the various state legislatures, Congress having the choice of the method of ratification as per Article V!

    In any event, Glenn Beck and Judge Napolitano ought to be encouraging every tea party member to start a campaign demanding their state’s delegation to Congress to introduce a resolution to send an amendment to the states for ratification that provides:

    The Sixteenth Amendment is hereby repealed and Congress is henceforth forbidden to lay ``any`` tax or burden calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, inheritances or any other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 end taxes calculated from all “incomesâ€

    And then what? You have no clue "what". So I'll tell you "what".

    "What" you are proposing is repealing the 16th Amendment without legislation in place to fund the federal government.

    "What" you are proposing with "miscellaneous excise taxes on various articles of consumption" is prejudicial and discriminatory as all present and past excise taxes have been and will always be and unless all consumption is taxed, there won't be enough revenue to fund the federal government, and unless it is all taxed at the same rate the same way, it won't be fair to any of the businesses or any of the consumers.

    "What" you are proposing with regards to proportional direct taxation on the states, subjects the citizens of those states to the existing tax mechanisms allowed by all the states such as mandatory direct property taxes and income taxes and any new mandatory direct taxes their evil minds can conjure and certainly will conjure under your scheme, which just makes the residents of those states tax slaves to the states who are now by federal order tax slaves to the federal government.

    So far, based on the comments by the members of this forum no one is interested in a Constitutional Convention. So I think that's a wrap on this one.

    The FairTax is legislation already in place ready to go that repeals all incomes taxes by law, not constitutional amendment, has a sunset provision that requires the repeal of the 16th Amendment within 7 years following implementation, is a single rate 1 time tax on all consumption at the final point of sale to consumers of all new goods and services, purchased for non-business purposes, and has a Rebate feature to exempt all consumption on essentials according to a uniform formula for everyone who is a US Citizen or Legal Resident based on the number of people in the household at the family consumption allowance.

    No Constitutional Convention required. Just get on the phones, emails and faxes and tell your Congress Critters, you want the FairTax, HB 25 in the US House of Representatives and SB 296 in the US Senate. For a family of 4 earning $50,000 a year, it's worth over $16,000 of new expendable income to your family that you now decide how you spend, if and when you spend it, and when you spend it on new goods and services, then the prices you pay for that chosen item will include a 23% FairTax to fund the federal government. You decide when, if and what amount you pay federal taxes. And that is taking your country back, because now you control the purse strings of the federal government for the first time in the history of our country. You've heard the ole saying, "he with the gold, rules." Well, under the FairTax, you have the gold, which means, you rule.
