Amendment 16

AMENDMENT XVI

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.

The Why
The 16th amendment is an important amendment that allows the federal (United States) government to levy (collect) an income tax from all Americans. Income tax allows for the federal government to keep an army, build roads and bridges, enforce laws and carry out other important duties
.
Do you believe that the government takes advantage of the 16th amendment? Do they take to much money and in a wrong way? Are taxes all bad together? IF it can be fixed how would you propose it be done?

Do you believe taxes are pulling the american people down? Or is only a select of class that it is hurting? Do you think the tax system in america is fair?
