There is an amendment to the constitution (the 16th) that allows the government to tax income. There are a series of laws passed by congress and based on that amendment that enact the income tax laws. The amendment says:
"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. "
For full information, see the IRS website.

The assumption that personal wealth creates jobs is full of crap. Bush tax cuts in force for more than a decade, where are the jobs? By sheer statistics, the bottom 90% of people in any state produce more demand than the top 10%. Businesses and individuals don't hire people because they have a lot of money and are feeling generous, they hire people because they need to in order to maintain or expand their profits. The way this works is via consumer demand. Without a large number of consumers or if they aren't spending enough, there isn't enough demand for businesses to expand and hire more. If consumers don't have enough money, no one expands. Take a lesson from Henry Ford. He paid people not just what they would take, he could have paid them a lot less, but he paid them enough that they could afford the cars they made, increasing demand.

Law no, requirement yes. There aren't that many laws that tell people what they are SUPPOSED to do, most laws tell be what they ARE NOT SUPPOSED to do. If anyone says you don't have to pay taxes because there is no law is sadly mistaken.
