Guest Willis E. Stone, became national chairman of the Liberty Amendment Committee in the late 1950s.
"Early opposition in the postwar era was relatively mild and consisted in large part of various campaigns to repeal the 16th Amendment...
...first introduced in 1952, it essentially tried to strengthen states' rights. However, in 1957 Congressman Elmer Hoffman of Illinois introduced a revised version of the Liberty Amendment that included a section mandating the abolition of income, estate and gift taxes....
...-- most recently by Congressman Ron Paul of Texas in 1998 -- but without any success. Given the costs of the Cold War and the simultaneous expansion of government services in the 1950s and 1960s, it is not surprising that Stone and the Liberty Amendment Committee had little chance of success."
This is a rare find.
