Question -------------------------
Followup To
Question -
The Constitution says that the Federal Government can not collect Direct Taxes. Help me understand this? My pay check has a Federal tax withholding, "that is a Direct Tax". Is there any part of life that the Federal Government can not tax us in under the Law?
Answer -
The 16th amendment allowed for it. http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxvi.html Question -
Doesn't the Supreme Court have a ruling that Laws can not be contradictory or conflicting to other Laws made? As in this case it cleary was. Can you explain to me how the 16th amendment can still be a legal Law?
Answer That can interperate two conflicting laws.
However an admendment to the Constitution overrides the previous wording. The 16th expressly allows for an income tax. You are correct that prior to the 16th an income tax was illigal and ruled as such during the Civil War.
Amendment XVI
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.
this wording in essence replaced
No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.
So this passage is no longer operative ibn the same manor
that 4/5th clause regarding African Americans was overiden by
Amendment XIII [Abolition of Slavery (1865)]
Amendment XIV [Privileges and Immunities, Due Process, Equal Protection, Apportionment of Representatives, Civil War Disqualification and Debt (1868)]
Amendment XV [Rights Not to Be Denied on Account of Race (1870)]
or
Senators were not directly elected untill the passage
of Amendment XVII [Election of Senators (1913) ]
People have even tried to go to court with the same point you
are making. They are in prison for tax avasion.
