Income from "vocations or activities pursued as of common right" under the umbrella of an excise become "sources derived"...

SUBJECT to taxation, not the subject OF taxation, or the OBJECT of taxation.

If it weren't so pathetic, I'd say it's funny watching lapdog jump tracks when he realizes the argument he's on is taking him over a cliff.
