You can't possibly believe that government is granted the powed in the constitution to make any mandate it wants as long as the penalty for violating it is a tax.
You can phrase it however you want, the Congress has broad authority to tax income. The 16th amendment does not place any restrictions on that power.
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.
Nevermind that such a position rests on the other false presumption that the constitionality of a law itself is only dependent on the penalty for violating it.
I have no idea WTF you're talking about. You've been babbling for pages now. The authority to tax income is clear. Stop arguing in circles.
