I mean, the 16th Amendment made it very broad "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived..."
You missed the point. The entire meaning of that statement depends on what “income” means.
It does not mean, legally, what we use it to mean colloquially, and that is by design.
Care to explain?
yes, for me too. Explain thyself.
Me three
See post below.
Are you saying in that in 1909, Congress said 'We want to tax your income', and then for the next 4 years all of the States debated this amendment, and began ratifying it, and then the Federal Government started collecting income tax in 1914, and nooooobody said "Hey wait, 'define income'". Is this one of those "One weird trick the government doesn't want you to know" type things? lol
You speak as if the government doesn’t lie or hide things from us.
Still, yes. Then in 1914, or whatever year, they sent our men off to war to die. Then in 1941, they sent more off. Then in 1950, they sent off more. 3 major waves within a single generation.
Amid all the commotion and death, people forgot. Easy to implant new ideas with all that turnover. I’ve read that it was a significant percentage of people who didn’t pay taxes for quite some time - same with paying social security.
Stuff gets forgotten during attempted genocides.
I don’t have any quickly found references, so you’ll have to find something yourself.
This is all I needed to know. You have no idea what you're talking about so you just gish-gallop around the topic.
Oh you don’t have any idea what’s going on. They are taxing us until death. We belong to them.
Oh I’m well aware. I’m not sure how you got that from me referring how the constitution gives them this power to steal.
