Will you do yourself and the USA a favour ? Examine the hundreds, thousands of cases in USA law where judges have failed to find ANY law imposing a Federal Income Tax ?
Let me save you some time.
The 16th Amendment was NEVER ratified by vote in the US Congress.
But you didn't tell us this fact, did you ? You were sleeping on the job ! The 16th Amendment does not have the force of law. It never has.
'Game, Set and Match' to the great people of the USA and its wonderful Constitution !!!!! There is NO lawful basis for a Federal Income Tax. None.
Time to Wake Up !!!
Oh now I wouldn't say that...
42 to 6, sounds like a clear win to me. Here's the link, check it out for yourself. These guys are the United States Government Printing Office, and this is their website:Amendment XVI. \8\
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.
