Additionally, the 16th Amendment was never intended to change the intentions for which the rule of apportionment was tied to both representation and any general tax laid among the states!
The 16th Amendment merely confirmed what was stated in the Flint Case, that Congress could lay and collect taxes calculated from profits, and gains without having to apportion the tax.

You are truly dense. the Constitutional rule of apportionment has NEVER been "tied to both representation and any general tax laid among the states". That's an abominably bad reading of the Constitution, willfully ignorant, really.
Inexcusable and embarrassing to the forum.
