That's a sure fire way to shut down the federal government. How long would you be willing to wait for your checks while Congress is working out the details of an alternative plan?

I think the way we're doing it is the right way. You pass the FairTax, then send the States the Amendment to repeal the 16th Amendment and some will ratify right away, others will wait and see how the FairTax works, meanwhile the States are all making money off the FairTax collection fee, and industries are moving home and investment is pouring in from offshore, Americans are getting their good jobs back, incomes are rising, poverty is declining, and those States that were slow to ratify will say "Oh my God, why didn't we do this years ago?" and the reason of course that they didn't is because of the deflections, misrepresentations, deceptions, misinformation and their own general ignorance of the entire topic and subject matter.

So people can continue to whine and complain and put up with the consequences as our country sinks into irreparable bankruptcy and despair, or they can wake up and start taking actions to reverse the policies that have caused this disaster including chief among them, the elimination of the income tax and replacing it with a national retail sales tax on new goods and services. So far, the best and only such plan is the FairTax, HR 25 in the US House of Representatives and S 155 in the US Senate.
So even you admit there is no guarantee the 16th Amendment would be repealed.
