The federal income tax was authorized by the 16th Amendment. The details are spelled out in the federal tax code. Why are people saying the federal income tax is illegal?

Something about a Supreme Court case that was never overturned, I think. I always thought the courts were the judicial and that the legislative branch made the laws. I just posted what I thought was the constitutional basis for the 16th which is what seemed to be in question.

According to the movie and if you know different please post it. The 16th Amendment was not ratified by the states. Correct me if I am wrong, A constitutional amendment must be approved by 75% of the state legislators and the 16th Amendment never achieved this according to the movie.
