Geez, all that crap you posted and you didn't bother to post this:

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

Which was changed by this:

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

Answered my own question. So...you need to repeal the 16th amendment. Vote for Ron Paul!

And how does all that apply to what I wrote?

Answer: It doesn`t

The 16th Amendment has absolutely nothing to do with “direct taxation”. Direct taxes are still required to be apportioned among the States. The most recent confirmation being the Obamacare ruling in which Justice Roberts admits direct taxes are still required to be apportioned!

If, by calling a tax indirect when it is essentially direct, the rule of protection could be frittered away, one of the great landmarks defining the boundary between the nation and the states of which it is composed, would have disappeared, and with it one of the bulwarks of private rights and private property.
