But that is exactly what the Democrat Party Leadership wants to do with their "Wealth Tax", and to hell with the Constitution, and requiring direct taxes to be apportioned. They want to erase the protection requiring direct taxes to be apportioned.I am glad they are ruling on it, hopefully they make the correct ruling, how can you be taxed on income not yet received, makes no sense at all.
SEE:
Art. I, § 2, Cl. 3 "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States . . . "
Art. I, § 9, Cl. 4 “No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.”

"If the Constitution was ratified under the belief, sedulously propagated on all sides that such protection was afforded (the rule of apportionment) would it not now be a fraud upon the whole people to give a different construction to its powers?"___ Justice Story
