Check out Russo’s “America” movie. Shocking interviews from former IRS agents now in the protest movement.

I’ll look into it. If this is truly the case, even conservatives aren’t willing to admit the constitutional fraud taking place even as they promote strict adherence to the originalist viewpoint.

It is defined as profits or gains. Since you are trading work for money, it is an even exchange. There is no profit or gain.

“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.”

Can anyone help me to understand how these guys think the 16th DOESN’T give the Congress power to tax money that one earns (called “income”). And if there isn’t a law to take earned income, then why is there a tax code with tax brackets that are based solely on earned income? Actually curious here because I can’t see how their arguments are remotely correct to begin with.

Here is a little more information. I would like to hear from the jury.
