And you won't see them go away until you are willing to work with the rest of us to replace those individual excises and tariffs bolluxing up the the picture with a visible retail tax as well.

Excise taxes and tarrifs are COnstitutional. The income tax is questionable, even the passage of the Amendment is coming under question in terms of whether it was actually ratified.

As for chasing links, my time is limited--I am working an an oil rig at the moment. I will peruse the data later and get back to you. Thanks.

Sell that one to the courts the next time you figure on ignoring said tax. By the way, taxes on wage and salary income have never been found unconstitutional at anytime in our history of taxing such even prior to the 16th amendment.

Then I would be abit more careful about complaining of not have hard data.

The only hard data is to be found elsewhere than the rhetoric of these threads. I get blasted all the time by complaints of too much data in my comments, so I try to be less verbose and provide those links for good purpose.
