Congress already had power to tax all incomes

This is beyond redundant and sanity.  Yes, that is extremely clear. Just as long as it is by apportionment or uniformity. The uniformity and apportionment provisions still exist. You can tax anything as long as it is by apportionment or uniformity. If I say this 10 more times will it make it any more clear as to my position.

You said the income tax was a direct tax. I didn't argue with you. I just asked why isn't it apportioned. You said because the SC said so. Well yes the USSC in every decision claims it's an excise tax so that is why it is not apportioned as is grossly clear by those decisions.  

Now I'm "dumb" and "stupid".  So what does that make you as you continue the way you are?

In your dreams. There is no such requirement. where is the requirment that an income tax be uniform and aportioned ?

Show me where the SC say the income tax is an excise tax ? Hint: Saying the income tax is an excise tax is the most idiotic thing you have stated so far.
