Lobbyist for large corporations & others seeking special tax favors provide a rich reservoir of re-election cash. Significant numbers elected to Congress to serve the people have been enticed to move on to where the real money is. When a Congress Person or Senator announces retirement to spend more time with their family, or is defeated for re-election as in the case of Jim Ramstad, don’t be surprised to soon learn they have a K Street address. If we want to end the corruptive influence on our top legislative body, my answer is to repeal the 16th Amendment and replace the income tax with a simple, transparent sales tax that treats all citizens fair and equal.
Understand I do not oppose the rights of the people to partition their government. But, when we have a system of taxation that burdens working Americans with 75,000 pages of regulations filled with special favors, it is time for that system to be replaced. It is time for voters to demand repeal of the 16th Amendment.
