An income tax would be unconstitutional supreme court 1894.The 16th Amendment conferred no new power of taxation supreme court 1913. So if the government didn't have it in 1894 they didn't have it in 1913 the government and the IRS don't legally have the power of an income tax on personal labor now. The money being collected by the IRS from personal labor is unconstitutional and is taken through coercion whether intentionally or not. A National Sales Tax however meets the criteria of a direct tax and thus is constitutional and legal .
