Referenced Sections of the Constitution

The Entire Constitution of the United States of America

Article I Sections

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises,"

Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 (Providing for apportioned direct taxation)

"Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included in this union, according to their respective numbers..."

Article I, Section 9, Clause 4 (Prohibiting direct taxation unless laid in proportion to the census)

"No capitation or other direct tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken."

16th Amendment (The Income Tax Amendment)

"Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on income from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

Although these three sections of the Constitution may appear to contradict one another, leaving the Constitution in a state of inherent conflict with itself, the Supreme court knows that the Constitution must never contradict itself if it is to remain as a valid foundation for our law, because a nation with an arbitrary legal foundation will split along the same lines that the foundation has been split upon, and collapse. Arbitrary law is the definition of TYRANNY.

Law is not an arbitrary thing, it is written so that men may read it, learn it, rely upon it, and use it to safely guide their daily activities. It must never be allowed to contradict itself, and whenever possible ,must always be interpreted in a fashion that gives and preserves effective meaning to EVERY PROVISION, so as to effect a harmonious, peaceful co-existence amongst all the Code sections in the entire Code.

To resolve the confusion and apparent conflict created within the Constitution here (by the 16th Amendment), the Court ruled in Brushaber v. Union Pacific R.R. Co., (1916), that since the provisions of Article I were not (and have never been) repealed, amended, or stricken from the Constitution, then they are still in full force and effect. And that, since the 16th Amendment is a tax without apportionment by virtue of its own wording, then it cannot be a direct tax, because direct taxes must still be apportioned according to the provisions of Article I. Therefore the Subtitle A income tax must be an indirect tax or the Constitution has been allowed, in fact has been engineered, to come into conflict with itself, not by virtue of its own wording, but by virtue of a Judge's improper and illegitimate interpretation and ignorant ruling. The income tax is clearly not a direct tax, but an indirect tax in the form of both a tariff under Subtitle A, and as an excise on ATF related activities under Subtitle E. Any judge that fails to honor and uphold the existing provisions of Article I regarding direct taxation commits Treason and Sedition against the Constitution, the American People, and the Nation itself, by betraying his sworn oath to uphold the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the land and for attempting to replace its provisions with his own opinions that ignore and violate critical portions of the document. It is never legitimate to use one provision of the law to destroy another (or two others in this case).

The court ruling means that the only legal effect that the 16th Amendment had (has), is to move the income tax out of the indirect category of DUTIES, and into the INDIRECT CATEGORY of IMPOSTS (as a tariff on imports). But, IT REMAINS AN INDIRECT TAX ONLY IMPOSED ON CERTAIN TAXABLE ACTIVITIES (foreign), AND REVENUE TAXABLE INCOME (ATF under Subtitle E). (see 26 CFR 602.101 - The Form Required)
