No. Sorry, but the income tax is specifically permitted in the constitution.

ABSOLUTELY! There should be a flat tax of 15% on every dollar earned by every American. That's it! If you make $10,000 for the year you pay $1500 in taxes. If you make $100,000 a year you pay $15,000 in taxes. And if you happen to make $10 million a year then you pay $1.5 million in taxes! Simple as that! Same should go for corporate taxes. Then there would be no more 1040ez forms, no more tax codes, no more loop holes, no more tax breaks, no more write off's, no more nonsense! But democrats would NEVER go for it. Not when 80% of the taxes paid in this country are paid by the top 20% of income earners. They'd lose too much in tax revenue by making EVERY American pay his/her fair share.

"Fair"? I think the flat tax would work, pay tax on what you buy, those who have more so they can buy more, pay more tax (realistically payroll and every other kind of tax make up teh cost of all goods and services we buy, but the less times it cycles through government hands and less bureaucrats involved, the better!).

It's high time!
It's also time to repeal the so-called "Death Tax" (the federal taxes levied upon a person's estate); what could possibly be more heinous than taxing a widow's inheritance!?
