Bought into their bullsh!t, huh? Brushaber v. Union Pacific R.R. Co., 240 U.S. 1, The Supreme Court ruled that the 16th "created no new power of taxation" and that it "did not change the constitutional limitations which forbid any direct taxation of individuals". This and other similar cases have never been overturned.
Start with section 1 of Title 26 of the U.S.C.: "There is hereby imposed on the taxable income of...every individual... a tax..."
Again, still sipping the IRS kool-aid. I usually don't respond to these type of threads just for this reason. Educating people who think they know it all rapidly becomes an exercise in frustration. This is a perfect example of the deception. I could spend hours trying to edumacate you with citations from the specific USC sections, but in the end you'd just come up with more of the IRS BS. I have better things to do. Thanks for playing.
Neither quote appears anywhere in the Brushaber case.
That case actually said (on p. 12):"That the authority conferred upon Congress by 8 of article 1 'to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises' is exhaustive and embraces every conceivable power of taxation has never been questioned, or, if it has, has been so often authoritatively declared as to render it necessary only to state the doctrine."
The Brushaber case also said, on pp. 17-18, that the 16th Amendment "does not purport to confer power to levy income taxes in a generic sense,-an authority already possessed and never questioned, -or to limit and distinguish between one kind of income taxes and another, but that the whole purpose of the Amendment was to relieve all income taxes when imposed from apportionment ..."
