That's just not true. The 16th amendment authorizes the income tax, it doesn't require it. Congress and the President can repeal it any time. Repealing the 16th amendment would just be insurance against them passing it again.

The Congress could drop the income tax tomorrow with just a vote if they wanted to. They have the power to tax and also the power to "untax."
