Reforming the tax code is pure fecal matter:
The American people will never be better off until the income tax is repealed. Replacing the current tax code with a flat tax, a VAT (Value-added tax), or every other tinker tool they talk about leaves the parasite class intact. Reforming the tax code is a waste of time when the talk begins by NOT separating federal tax revenues required for necessary government from the demands of the parasite class. Then-Rep. Ron Paul touched on the problem:
Incidentally, there is ample evidence to support this:
It only took 19 years between the unconstitutional Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act of 1894 before IMPLEMENTING the XVI Amendment in 1913. It is going to take a helluva lot longer than 19 years to drive the parasites away from the public trough.
Believe what you will about ratification dupery, but it is impossible to deny that today’s lying scum entrenched in the federal government employ the same tricks implementing unconstitutional laws they shove down the public’s throat.
More than every other adjustment progressive hustlers make to accommodate their ‘economic’ agenda, the XVI Amendment transformed the Constitution into a Government Bill of Rights. On top of it all, the original Bill of Rights is gradually being suffocated by the government’s Bill of Rights.
NOTE: The XVII Amendment was never ratified either. That one IMPLEMENTED long-serving traitors in the US Senate.
Examination shows that “About 45 percent of all federal revenue . . .” is collected to feed the parasite class. Whether it be 45% —— or 1% —— a tax on income is exactly why every debate should begin and end with one premise: THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT ENGAGE IN CHARITY. Indeed, when did Harry Reid decide that a tax on income should VOLUNTARILY fund coerced charity?
NOTE: Tax revenues pay for the United Nations, all of its agencies, and foreign aid. Logically, repealing the XVI Amendment would eliminate membership in the United Nations. Hell, United Nations parasites even demand tax dollars.
Finally, see this thread for more details about reforming the tax code:
That is at the root of a proposal to sunset the current tax code on Dec. 31, 2019. Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., has introduced the Tax Code Termination Act (HR 27), which would do exactly that.
“We must force Congress to tackle tax reform head on. The best way forward is to scrap the current tax code and start fresh. This legislation would allow us, as a nation, to collectively decide what the new tax system should look like. There are many competing alternatives, but having a set date to end the current tax code will force the issue and the debate to the top of the national agenda.”

The American people will never be better off until the income tax is repealed.

Reforming the tax code is a waste of time when the talk begins by NOT separating federal tax revenues required for necessary government from the demands of the parasite class. Then-Rep. Ron Paul touched on the problem:
For people who dislike taxes, the only thing better than an ultra-low flat tax is the notion of no tax at all. That is the goal behind former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul’s (R-TX) position. The leader of the libertarian wing in the Republican Party feels that the income tax, in particular, is a problem:
“I want to abolish the income tax, but I don’t want to replace it with anything. About 45 percent of all federal revenue comes from the personal income tax. That means that about 55 percent — over half of all revenue — comes from other sources, like excise taxes, fees, and corporate taxes. We could eliminate the income tax, replace it with nothing, and still fund the same level of big government we had in the late 1990s.”

We could eliminate the income tax, replace it with nothing, and still fund the same level of big government we had in the late 1990s.”
History may be on Paul’s side. Framing the argument that taxes restrict liberty, one would search for a part of the Constitution to reinforce their position. In this case, they would strike down the Sixteenth Amendment, which solidified the income tax after much debate.
Proponents of this stance point to the unconstitutionality behind the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act of 1894. This income revenue act was the first to levy a peacetime tax on income — the original breakdown was 2 percent over $4,000. This was to make up the revenue lost by reducing tariffs, one of the same tools Paul would use to fund the government in lieu of income taxes.
The following year, the Supreme Court ruled that the act was unconstitutional in Pollock v. Farmers Loan Trust Co. The Sixteenth Amendment was adopted 18 years later in 1913, making taxes a constitutional right of the federal government.
