> On November 15, 2013, Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK-1), introduced H.J. Res.104, once again; a joint resolution which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary "proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the sixteenth article of the amendment."   And further more reads:    "Effective 2 years after the ratification of this article of amendment, the sixteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is repealed, and the Congress shall have no power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, except in time of war declared by the Congress." H.J. Res. 104 govtrack.us 1) This is the question; Knowing the Republicans have spent more than $59B, with a "B", of taxpayer money to hold 45 votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act in Congress, is it acceptable to continue to have our elected officials spend our money, and waste time, while not doing anything to actually benefit the people? 2)  Is it acceptable for these Representatives to again waste the taxpayers time and money putting forth resolutions that have a 0% chance of getting out of committee, much less being enacted, or past?
