Repeal the 16th Amendment and Abolish the Income Tax

We, the people of these United States, rightfully petition our President, House of Representatives and Senate on behalf of substantive tax reform legislation, including legislation to repeal the 16th Amendment to our Constitution and replace the current invasive income tax with an alternative like a national sales tax. We encourage presidential and congressional support for House Joint Resolution 15 "abolishing personal income, estate, and gift taxes" and other tax reform measures seeking to restrict central government spending to its constitutional parameters. Likewise, we insist that reductions in taxation be accompanied by comparable reductions in extra-constitutional and economically untenable government spending.
