According to this:
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/c...nt16/01.html#2 the sixteenth amendment is a recognized part of the Constitution. You say it was never ratified, but it's clearly in effect. Are you saying it's not?
Also, I agree that the government gets its power from the governed. That being said I don't know many people that feel as you do. Most people accept the fact that without taxes the government would collapse and the would no longer be a United States. Do people like taxes? No, absolutely not. Do they prefer it to anarchy? Well, I haven't seen any good polls on this but I believe so. My point is that there has been no great rise against taxation because people understand it's function. So yes, it is the will of the people that there is taxation.

I find this interesting since I thought the bitch was "Taxation without Representation," not just not wanting to pay taxes. So either my books in school were intentionally misleading or you are. Somebody has taken to telling half-truths.
I looked it up on Juju's link and it says Secretary Knox Certified Adoption. You say he perjured himself. Hmm, well guess what? Congress accepted it. I'm sure you can show me where he was charged with perjury though right? No? Then this is your opinion and nothing more.
It wasn't stricken, and now the 16th Amendment
is part of the Constitution. I read it. It's in there. You telling me that it's not legit does not remove it. So, you disagree with the government, the civil lawyers and most of the US population. And you state it as a fact. Dude, read the Constitution with the Amendments and it's there. Your repeated claims that it's not legit don't change that. It is recognized law right now. Can you show me otherwise?
