Several GOP Senate Candidates Propose Eliminating Income Taxes: In crowded primary fields, Republicans are getting creative to stand out.

The National Journal reports:

It can be hard to stand out in crowded primaries. But two Republican Senate candidates have determined that repealing a century-old Constitutional Amendment is a good way to get noticed.

Radio host Sam Clovis (R) in Iowa and former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel (R) are both proposing a repeal of the 16th Amendment—the one that has given the government the authority to levy income tax since 1913.

"I think the 16th Amendment ought to be repealed," Clovis said in a Des Moines debate last week. "If we repeal the 16th Amendment we get rid of the IRS."

After all, taxation is theft .
