See comments made by u/TRYNEIN in the thread below. If he's right (and it appears he may be), we can stop with all the "16th Amendment wasn't ratified properly" stuff and hoping Washington will willingly turn off their own cash cow, and just quietly go back and mark "exempt" on our W4's and stick it to Washington on our own.
If he's wrong, or he's missed something, someone feel free to explain why here and we can talk about it. But I thought his comments merited its own thread.

As I said in my reply below, this "capital gain" does not account for expenses. You can claim any expenses you want. The IRS can contest it, and the court can uphold it, but there is no law that requires it.
IRS Code and U.S. code are not the same thing. In some cases they are congruent, but not always. The IRS makes up it's own shit. They are not a part of the government, but a government subcontractor.
All the more reason to hope they rule on the EPA case soon. Could be used as precedent for saying "fuck you" to any extra-legislative IRS mandates.
