But yeah, Ron Paul for prez. Too bad the guys in charge won't let him into debates. Assholes.
you are talking about the lower courts who are supposed to be in line with the supreme court but they are not. the supreme court ruled that the 16th amendment was unconstitutional and that it gave the government no new taxing power because of that. so basically if you werent taxable before the 16th then you werent taxable after the 16th.
