In confused by the 16th amendment then, what does this mean if not that they can tax income? "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

That amendment was NEVER properly or lawfully ratified. It is as fraudulent as the last handful of elections.

Income tax and IRS are unconstitutional and always will be.
