The Sixteenth Amendment

Why, hello Income Tax.  How are you today?  Don't let anyone fool you into thinking you don't have to pay taxes.  It's kind of in the constitution now.

Obviously, there are at least a few people (okay, maybe a few million) that don't really like taxes, especially on income that they spent their sweat and blood earning.  Well, that's all well and good, but personally I'm a believer of the social contract:  we give up certain rights to gain protection from a governing body.  I don't really have too much of a problem paying out of my check for that protection.  Where the money goes, however, is another issue.

The Law That Never Was?

Well, maybe.  This seems to be the kind of thing that convinces people that they don't have to pay those taxes.  You can debate this all you want, but until the amendment gets repealed (and I highly doubt it will) you still have to pay them.  Sorry, naysayers.
