I haven't found anything about that. It would be curious to find if it is there as it was expressly prohibited by the constitution until the 16th amendment.

I had to do a quick Google for this

It is not the original source of the information I researched long ago, which is no longer available to me, through the inconvenience of several computer failures during the interregnum to this day, however, it seems to be factual.
Interesting stuff. Without an amendment that was actually highly illegal at the time they did it. More evidence that laws tend to be enforced when they are convenient to those in power, and ignored when they are not.
There are many more examples of such eructations of law, absent lawful basis.
One thing you said that is absolutely true is that income tax is theft. Wages aren't income, either. Income is derived from investments, wages are legally not income.
Don't try to convince the IRS of that, though. They will win. The law is not the issue. Taking your money by force is.
