Whoever put this out started off on the wrong foot. The part of the constitution quoted at the top is from Article 1, Section 8. The 16th Amendment is completely different.
SCOTUS had ruled the 16th amendment wasn’t even necessary, as income—what we now call capital gains—was always taxable. Wages were never included in the legal definition. All taxes on wages are unconstitutional per SCOTUS, yet here we are.
Wages and tips are NOT income. You traded your labor, the hours of your life, for that money. It was an even exchange.
INCOME is capital gains. You did nothing for the money except invest other money. The American system created more cash for you. (I'd say one to two percent tax should be enough for the tiny fedgov we SHOULD have).
I'd like to see the country try scrapping all taxes in favor of a love-offering basis. Like church. You get to give whatever amount your heart and mind lead you to give. If you're getting good and respectful service from your tiny fedgov, you give more. If not, you don't. That'll teach them to do good and stay tiny.
Thought I just said that but yeah. There's literally no case law overturning the SCOTUS cases on this matter and yet somehow everyone just fell in line and started paying "income tax" on their wages. Legal illiteracy is a crime in this country. The only reason they get away with it is that just like with the January 6ers, anybody in recent decades who tried to fight the color of law system we have was met with swift penalties and never allowed appeals high enough to make a difference.
The same is true regarding our right of travel/locomotion. SCOTUS has ruled like 19 different times that we don't need a license to ride our cars (drive has a legal definition and it's how they get us, by replacing "ride" with "drive" in common vernacular, forcing us through legal language into something we never needed to involve ourselves with). But try fighting the system on that point and see what happens. Just not worth the headache so even when people know the truth, such as me, we fall in line.
Interesting. I assume horse and buggy drivers didn't require a license.
