"The problem is that the very concept of income itself has never been defined in the tax law. It is pretty much whatever the IRS says it is."
Does anyone know where in the constitutional penumbra it says that unelected, unaccountable executive branch bureaucrats can write law? I always thought only legislators can write law.

Apparently, in the same place it says the BATFE, DEA, DOT, EPA, BLM, Forrest Service, etc., and all the other alphabet agencies, derive their power to issue "regulations" with the force and penalties of "Law".
It seems to me that congress is specifically prohibited from delegating the authority to make "Law" to any other agency.
But if that prohibition were actually enforced congress would not have time to impose all the unconstitutional, mundane, and minute, daily "regulations" we are inundated with.
The resulting lack of federal and state oversight over every possible fraction of our lives would terrify the timid unthinking fools who apparently now make up the majority of our citizenry.
Freedom requires thought and responsibility, it is apparently just too much effort for most people to bother with, now that they are so conditioned to being coddled and directed every minute of their lives.
Reducing Gov. Org. back to only what it is allowed to do under the limits set by our constitution would redeem America, eliminating most "agencies" and "Tax's".
It would force most of our political parasites to find legitimate work.
It will not be allowed to happen, ever, short of a major revolution, no matter who is elected.
