Sixteenth Amendment

The sixteenth amendment states...
      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.


What it means to me...
      This amendment reversed an 1895 Supreme Court decision by declaring a federal income tax law unconstitutional.

The following is a political cartoon...
This cartoon shows Uncle Sam heading towards the easier path of general sales tax, but Congress is more for income tax. This is the debate to introduce sales tax in the US and end the income tax in 1933.

The following is a video about taxes...
This Schoolhouse Rock video is about celebrating taxes and teaching kids exactly what taxes are and how they work.
