Stoneman, it might help if you would look at a few U.S. Supreme Court cases, such as, BRUSHABER v. UNION PACIFIC R. CO., 240 U.S. 1 (1916). See what it has to say about the Constitution and direct taxes.

240 U.S. 1

The various propositions are so intermingled as to cause it to be difficult to classify them. We are of opinion, however, [240 U.S. 1, 11] that the confusion is not inherent, but rather arises from the conclusion that the 16th Amendment provides for a hitherto unknown power of taxation; that is, a power to levy an income tax which, although direct, should not be subject to the regulation of apportionment applicable to all other direct taxes.And the far-reaching effect of this erroneous assumption will be made clear by generalizing the many contentions advanced in argument to support it...

Quote:
U.S. Constitution, Section. 9.

No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken.

Thus, We the People do not owe a direct tax, period.

Thus, it is the IRS making frivolous arguments.
