Letter
To Congress August 21, 1998
Congress has expressed its’
will to "sunset" the existing Income Tax system by the year 2001.
What does this mean? Are they contemplating an amendment to
abolish the 16th Amendment or are they proposing to rename the existing
Tax Code? ....The bottom line to us is; how do they propose to make
the paying of Federal taxes fair and equal, or at least closer to being
fair and or equal for the laborers of this Country?

upon which this tax is founded, and that is that every man who is making
no more than a living should not be taxed upon living earnings, but should
be taxed upon the surplus that he makes over and above that amount necessary
for a good living" Representative Murray,
Congressional Record- House, May 6, 1913 page 1252.
