The 16th Amendment is the one in question. It states, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
Then there's the language in Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution which states, "No capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken."
A capitation tax is a poll tax, "...an imposition which is yearly laid on each person according to his estate and ability." (Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition)
Read: Article 1, Section 9 says no individual (capitation) tax *unless* it's the same amount for every individual (in Proportion...). 16A says Congress can tax incomes, i.e., implied is: impose a capitation tax. It's critical to understand that no provision of Article 1, Section 9 was ever repealed. So both of these laws stand.
If you're scratching your head, seeing as the two provisions on the surface contradict one another, the TRUTH is, that they can both indeed stand.
16A has been adjudicated to assert that the "taxes on incomes" is an excise tax. The language in the Amendment disguises the genuine limitation.
What's an excise tax?
I have to cut this short saying that it's impossible for a comment post to do justice to the illegitimacy of what Americans believe to be the income tax.
It's heavy reading, 200+ pages, all of dense, revealing, engendering cognitive dissonance and anger if not fury once you understand what's been perpetrated, but trust me, it's worth the effort. The book title is, Cracking the Code: The Fascinating Truth About Taxation in America by Peter Eric Hendrickson.
*edit: Fellow C&C reader @Gabriella took the time to go there and report the news that the book in its entirety is now available to read online at no cost. The above link takes you to a page updated by the author in August 2023 (as of this writing). From there you can read the book on the website. The website is a trove of information but better understood in the context of having the book under your belt. Some people don't pay income taxes. All perfectly legal. Some gyrations and persistence required, unofficial help available at the website, but so worth it. SO worth it.
Omigosh. You must be a speed reader. It took me weeks to absorb the highly researched, exquisite detail. Not without emotion either. At first, disbelief. "This can't be true." (This was mid 2010s, before the current big blatancy.) Then, with a little digging to investigate the author's claims, which all bore out, the shock of realization. Then, anger. Felt in my entire body. Might have slowed my reading. You have the benefit of starting off with maybe most of your skepticism in the back seat. Mine was in my lap. Holding the wheel. Even though I was intent on finding out the truth. Hope your journey is less painful, more affirming from the start.
