Steve Stivers--- "Repeal the 16th too!"

Did you know that Republican Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, wanted to repeal the 16th and the 17th Amendments to the Constitution?

Most central Ohio voters already know that Stivers wants to repeal the 17th Amendment, the right of citizens to directly vote for their U.S. Senators. I have found additional information that shows that Stivers also would like to repeal the 16th Amendment.

In a survey (912Survey-Stivers ) posted at Central Ohio 912 Project (http://www.meetup.com/The-Central-Ohio-912-Meetup-Group/files/)
Stivers answered the following question:

...How do you think you would vote on this legislation or amendment?

1) Elimination of the progressive income tax -replace it with a flat income tax or a national sales tax (with repeal of the 16th amendment to the Constitution)

Stivers checked: Support

Wow. How many other Amendments would Stivers like to repeal?
