Where does it actually say that we the people of the USA have to pay income taxes?

Question

Is there a law that requires us to pay taxes?

Answer 1

Nope, nice huh? But there sure are laws to have us thrown in the slammer if we don't..go figure!!

Answer 2

The federal government of the United States (as well as some state and municipal governments) imposes an income tax on the taxable income of individuals, corporations, trusts, decedents' estates and certain bankruptcy estates. The income tax was first imposed during the Civil War, then again, after the 16th Amendment was ratified in 1913. Current income taxes are imposed under various provisions of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Answer 3

Yes. Income tax was passed by congress. The argument is that it is not in the 'constitution', but neither are the majority of the laws.

Answer 4

It doesn't.
Not in the constitution, not in the declaration, but to support a government, the government needs money.
To get money you have to have an income.
To get an income you have to have a job.
To have a job you have to have a need.
The government has needs and no job so taxes were enacted.
