 Taxes are not legal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
To summarize this puzzling story, Bill Benson contends that the 16th Amendment was never ratified in the manner required by law, and is therefore not technically part of the Constitution, which means, technically, the Congress has been illegally collecting income taxes from the American people for 90 years, because, technically, the income tax is unconstitutional.
In 1913, there were forty-eight states in the Union, meaning that amending the Constution would have required the approval of thirty-six (three-fourths) of the states.
This already drops Knox's count of thirty-eight states to thirty-four, which is below the number needed for ratification.
