<p>[quote user="Lost World"]Sadly, not even the most staunch conservatives (ie. republicans) these days talk of abolishing the 16th amendment--that's strictly the realm of the libertarian party, and we know how seriously they're taken. Oh how much we've regressed in forty plus years.[/quote]</p><p>You reminded me of a proposal former House Speaker Dennis Hasert made a few years ago, in which the IRS itself would be abolished. Probably some form of national consumption tax to replace the federal income tax, not real sure on the details. Sadly, the GOP-controlled Congress didn't followup on this enticement, and now the Dems are back in control, so whatever hope there was for real encouraging federal tax reform is gone.</p><p>And how would this have affected the railroads?</p><p> </p>
