The Biden regime knows that if tens of millions of Americans refuse to pay income tax that the economy and fed govt would likely collapse, and there is nothing they could do about it. Thus, an additional 80k + new IRS agents are being put in place in effort to curtail this probability.

Personally, I do receive some Income but most of what I earn is not Income. I pay tax on the Income and on the rest of my earnings I don't.
We think of Income as the umbrella term for "all that comes in." Generally, it would be more proper to think of "all that comes in" as "earnings". Income is a type of earnings. At least that's how I see it based on a little research.
The problem we have is that "employers" report our earnings to the IRS as Income every year. When "employers" do this, they declare it under penalty of perjury. That puts a sworn statement (testimony) in the hands of the IRS that someone received Income. Whether true or false, that testimony, if unrebutted, can be used as evidence against you that you received Income and consequently owe the tax.
I can see that applying to salaried people. What about wage slaves? Yea it’s “income” but it’s not guaranteed, one would have to work for it. Would that make a difference in the argument?
