From what I know, the big sell for changing the Constitution, to remove apportionment for income taxes, was the explanation that "income" was not the exchange of labor for money. That, and the progressive system proposed that soaked the rich and left the lower pay bracket folks alone.
Meanwhile, courts laughed at the frivolous argument that wages and salaries are not "income", and threw those that disagreed into the poor house, after jail.
Considering how the Supreme Court has acted the last few years, I'm thinking they'll drop a few hits of acid before they write their opinion. - 9/26/12, 9:13 AM

They'll probably rule that all wages are subject to the Interstate Commerce Clause and can be either determined by Congress or confiscated by the ICC to provide everyone's right to high-speed rail or something.
This will be expensive, since high-speed rail will have to stop within walking/wheelchair distance of everyone's home and place of work and shopping and the abortion clinic and… - 9/26/12, 10:00 AM

Mr. Maehr's grammar is a little weak, but I believe his logic works. Hope the Supremes actually consider this one!

I think they will simply redefine it as a "fine" and fine all wage earners for exhaling CO2.

Once Holder got his paws on those photos of Roberts pounding away on a 9 year old boy the Constitution went out the shithouse door.

If they can find Abominicare constitutional, this will be a slam dunk.
And "income...is the increased value of an asset" eh?
So I buy gold coin for $1,000. The U.S. government prints money, doubles the money supply and my coin is worth $2,000 in the debased currency. Then I sell the coin and get taxed on the "increase" in value? Because that is income? When all that happened is that I avoided a loss due to U.S. government money printing? If they're going to do that to me, somebody should at least send me flowers. - 9/27/12, 8:31 AM

Steve: You are being too optimistic.
You buy a $20 US Double Eagle for $1900.
The Treasury calls you an evil gold hoarder, takes the coin from you, and gives you a shiny new plastic $20 coin in exchange.
You use the new plastic coin to buy a gumball from a candy machine in a store entrance somewhere. You chew it quickly to avoid being charged for hoarding food.
