where does in the costitution say that we have to pay taxes?

Question

when taxation is an involuntary "demand"

Answer 1

Article 1, Section 8:

" The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"

Answer 2

It doesn't. The income tax didn't come into effect until sometime last century. But, that point can be taken back to social contract theory. If you enjoy all if the things that taxes have paid for (roads, school, etc) then you are obligated to comply if you want to remain a part of the society.

Answer 3

The Sixteenth Amendment to the constitution authorizes a direct income tax. Any arguments that the federal income tax is illegal are tired falsehoods intended to mislead the uninformed.

Answer 4

Nothing in the constitution specifically cites for the payment of taxes but is impliedly provided for spread in different provisions to collect revenues from the people in order to finance its expenses.
