What is an income tax?

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?

Letter To Congress June 24, 1998

Congressional Record- House, May 6, 1913 page 1252.
