One would be pressed hard for an explanation as to how most earnings could be extricated from commerce and indirect versus direct taxation , as conjectured in contemporary definition , are semantic absurdities .

Taxes can be either direct or indirect. A direct tax is one that the taxpayer pays directly to the government. These taxes cannot be shifted to any other person or group. An indirect tax is one that can be passed on-or shifted-to another person or group by the person or business that owes it.


* Wages Are Income And Indirect Tax *

In Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co., the U.S. Supreme Court declared certain taxes on incomes, such as those on property under the 1894 Act, to be unconstitutionally unapportioned direct taxes. The Court reasoned that a tax on income from property should be treated as a tax on "property by reason of its ownership" and so should be required to be apportioned. The reasoning was that taxes on the rents from land, the dividends from stocks, and so forth, burdened the property generating the income in the same way that a tax on "property by reason of its ownership" burdened that property.

After Pollock, while income taxes on wages (as indirect taxes) were still not required to be apportioned by population, taxes on interest, dividends, and rental income were required to be apportioned by population.
The Pollock ruling made the source of the income (e.g., property versus labor, etc.) relevant in determining whether the tax imposed on that income was deemed to be "direct" (and thus required to be apportioned among the states according to population) or, alternatively, "indirect" (and thus required only to be imposed with geographical uniformity).[17]

The following are presented as reasons as to why an inheritance tax is a direct tax , unless there is a way to rationalize the transaction as commerce , which might be difficult .

The principles of individualism include the elements of self ownership ( free roam , free association , progeny ) and self determination ( private property , willful intents by contract , made valid through informed consent ) .

The metaphors of an after life , of a chance for eternal life , of the life to come , of reincarnation , of the transmutation of soles , of etc . , have a literal meaning of passing on ones genetic identity , one haploid at a time , so that another , both figuratively and literally as themselves , through a sophisticated physical state , may have an opportunity to experience the sentience sapience and introspection that is afforded as life , where failure to do so in perpetuity is ascribed the metaphors of final judgement or eternal damnation .

Consequently , an inheritance tax on the transition of private property holdings to a legitimate lineal descendant is a direct tax upon the self ownership and self determination of an individual that is a direct tax .

A tax levied on the appreciation in value of real property that has not been sold does not qualify as commerce and is a direct tax .

Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, 157 U.S. 429 (1895), affirmed on rehearing, 158 U.S. 601 (1895), was a landmark case of the Supreme Court of the United States. In a 5-to-4 decision, the Supreme Court struck down the income tax imposed by the Wilson–Gorman Tariff Act for being an unapportioned direct tax. The decision was superseded in 1913 by the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which allows Congress to levy income taxes without apportioning them among the states.

Well, there goes your argument again. lol

More semantic hubris .

Commerce is commerce , in that it includes commercial transactions , which implore administration through municipalities , to include courts , and enforcement of codes that extend from local , to state , to federal .

For example , to pretend a difference between indirect versus direct taxes based on which is able to deduct the tax from income is ridiculous .

An individual renting their own property is engaging in commerce and equally as wages , taxable earnings is a tax on that income , which is equally an indirect tax , while it is conjectured to be a direct tax base on which entity ( owner or tenant ) is set by statute , and which is able to deduct the tax as income .

A premise that income from rental property is a direct tax , which is equally capable of being an indirect tax , implores that an indirect tax be a tax excised from participation in commerce .

Unequivocally , a tax on the appreciation of private holdings is a direct tax ; however , should the appreciation of those holdings be codependent on commerce , a tax upon the commodities prior to sale is a direct tax , where a tax on the sale of the commodities is an indirect tax from participation in commerce .
