In title 26 What Sec. Number or law the says I must Pay the Tax because I work, it's not the 16th Amendment

Question

Remember, the Supremes said in the Brushaber Case the 16 conferred no new power to congress. plus other on request. Also, see Congressional Recore March 28, 1928 for more info.

Answer 1

TITLE 26 > Subtitle A > CHAPTER 1 > Subchapter A > PART I > § 1

I highly doubt that Dianah Ross had anything to say about Brushaber. On the other hand, the Supreme Court UPHELD the validity of the Income Tax. Where you get your information that it said otherwise escapes me.

Answer 2

The Supreme Court at one time did say that the 16th granted no new taxing powers to congress. This is one item that is often quoted by the tax protester crowd but, unfortunately for them, they get the meaning backwards.

Congress always had the power to pass an income tax. They passed the first one to pay for the Civil War. Back then, according to the Constitution, this tax would have had to been apportioned among the states. The 16th Amendment removed the apportionment clause thereby allowing congress to pass an income tax without apportionment.
