Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

I generally agree with you, but this part was incorrect.
It's not "unconstitutional" if it is in the Constitution

It seems like whenever anyone breaks out the constitutional ouija board to consult the founding fathers, the founding fathers always agree with the person doing the channeling. In death, the founding fathers are the ultimate yes-men. It's fairly convenient way of appealing to people who both give a fuck about what the founding fathers thought and also aren't especially inclined to mistrust someone who clearly has an agenda in claiming to be able to speak for people who've been dead for roughly 200 years.

Well, technically one could argue that what they wanted (in general) was what ended up written down.
And usually the ones who try to do something that either isn't mentioned or is not allowed by the Constitution don't use it to defend their actions
