Ever check out the Constitution to see which taxes are allowable by law (the Constitution is the Supreme law of the land) and which should never have been enacted. (Enacted illegally, as any 'law' that is repugnant to the Constitution is unconstitutional and therefore, illegal. Check it out.
Yeah. yeah I do. It's not a hard document to read. More folks on this board need to actually crack one open.

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

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..."

It does not mean, legally, what we use it to mean colloquially, and that is by design.
