And i will clear that up for you. The 16 amendment was added in 1913. So taxes on income was never intended until the democrats said we needed them.

Three points to clear things up for you.

First, since the sixteenth amendment was approved, the income tax is Constitutional.
Second, the amendment passed Congress in a vote of 318–14 clearly a bi-partisan vote.
Third, it was ratified by 36 states, clearly bi-partisan support.
