Article I sec.8 gives Congress the power to levy taxes. Taxes on
income
have been levied several times in US history. The 16th Amendment to
the Constitution passed in 1913 reaffirms Congress's right to collect
income taxes. The US Tariff Act of 1913 then levied an income tax. The
actual minutia is the IRS codes.

The 16th Amendment was never ratified, rendering it moot. Amendments
must be ratified, according to the constitution....


For a fairly intelligent guy, you can sure go off the deep end sometimes.
Your statement is completely wrong.

whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and
without regard to any census or enumeration. "
