"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."
We got by without the 16th Amendment for over 125 years of our country's history until a bunch whiny socialists came along. Woodrow Wilson finally signed it into law in 1913.
Take a look at this and compare it to where we have gotten today.
"In order to fund the Civil War, the Revenue Act of 1862 imposed a 3% tax on the incomes of citizens earning more than $600 per year, and 5% on those making over $10,000. After the law was allowed to expire in 1872, the federal government depended on tariffs and excise taxes for most of its revenue."
The 16th Amendment: Establishing Federal Income Tax
That's right, two tax brackets were introduced to finance an extremely expensive Civil War, 3% and 5%. They were then allowed to expire in 1872. Then, "progressives" came along and started pushing us towards a slippery slope of shit for brains socialists wanting to tax the most productive citizens at 90%.
We should only tax goods that are consumed, not income from our labor. Tax the consumer, not the producer.
