Article I, Section 8, Clause 1:
The Congress shall have power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises...but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States...
You're confusing excise taxes (e.g. sales taxes) with direct taxes (e.g. income taxes). Direct taxes were indeed originally required to be equal, to prevent unequal taxation on individuals. That was eliminated with the 16th amendment with respect to income taxes.
Excise taxes (in this case sales taxes) must be uniform, so Federal law can't require a 10% national sales tax rate in FL and a 5% national sales tax rate in CA.
Thank you. :)
JWK
16th amendment was not legally ratified .
It is not a TAX ON INCOME.
It is a tax for using the Federal Reserve Banks $$$$$
It is not our money, but theirs. The FRB.
Why do you think they (FRB) pay the Treasury for printing their $$$?
Why do you think that on the dollar, the Federal Reserve Bank is above the United States of America?
The lender is ALWAYS listed above the borrower.
Thank you.
