You must pay tax on income earned.

I have studied this subject and researched every nook and cranny that I can. There is nothing in the US Constitution stating that there is an income tax. Yes, the government can tax, but there is nothing that is required along the lines of tithing or income tax.
So far I've hit a dead end around the turn of the 20th century. Here's what I have found and it's not anything but speculation based on pieces that I have read here and there. it's boiled down into this...

In 1917 the United States entered the First World War and it became necessary to provide revenue to defray war expenses. That was the express purpose of the revenue Act of 1917, which was intended to raise 1.8 billion of additional taxes.

So someone (i forgot the name) convinced the government a way to make this was legal. What they did was create a corporate tax system. Each township, village, county, municipality and state became incorporated. Each person who is a resident of any said place is considered an "employee" and is required to pay taxes as such.
