It doesn’t discount for the fact that TAXES ARE SLAVERY which the 13th amendment BANS.

Huh?
Taxation is not, ipso facto, slavery. And even if it were, the sad fact of the matter remains that whatever the 13th Amendment might have wrought, any later amendment, including the 16th Amendment, could undo. That is the nature of the amendment process of the Constitution.
It really isn't that complicated - read the plain language of the Constitution itself, and stop trying to come up with penumbrae and other liberal-type glosses on that language to cover up for the multitude of sins the people of a democratic republic are perfectly entitled to impose on themselves, so long as they followed the established procedure.
If Dr. Paul is going to continue down this ignominious path, instead of trying to force us to face the fact that we, the voters, as a collective whole, have done some very stupid things recently by entrusting the powers granted Congress under the Constitution to a bunch of thuggish fascists such as we have in the so-called Democrat Party, then he is going to be doing a great disservice to all of us.
