In the past, the USSC has found the income tax unconstitutional because it is not apportioned.

The 16th took care of that.

The courts have been corrupted no less than Congress. We are at the point now that though it is wrong, we do it their way---sort of like if the mafia wants a cut of your profits you give it to them or they'll hurt you.

So the tax courts, district courts, appeals courts and the USSC are all corrupted to continue the income tax?

The progressively graduated individual income tax is Communist. It is one of the planks in the Communist Manifesto. We in this country are being told that Communist objectives is Capitalist, and vice versa.

No, most of us can distinguish between a communist economy and a capitalist one. And the income tax, no matter what one may think of it, is not a major indicator.

Abolish the income tax and the IRS as they are communist. Let reasonable and stable import duties and tarriffs pay the expenses of the federal government. This nation would be a happier place.

I do hope you don't spend a lot of emotional capital on this concept. Unlike the fair tax folks I'm not going to engage in a debate on this issue, as it is simply frivolous daydreaming.

There was a court case that said that the 16 bestowed no new powers of taxation on the Congress. Congress did not have the power to lay unapportioned taxes before the 16th, and Congress had no power to lay unapportioned taxes after the 16th. Yet, they go ahead and lay unapportioned taxes regardless. The income tax is unapportioned. The 16 created no new taxing power. It is corrupt and every institution that supports it is corrupt. We live with it. It is now the first time, and won't be the last that whole societies can be based on institutionalized corruption. Frederick Bastiat in "The Law" explained it very well in his little book.

"And the income tax, no matter what one may think of it, is not a major indicator [of communism]."

Sir, that is just false and everyone here knows it. The only question remaining is, do you believe your own falsehoods or do you know the truth and are actually on-board with what the communists are selling? Whatever way it is, anything you say is suspect. Communist sympathizer.
