"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 Sixteenth Amendment allows the Congress to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states or basing it on Census results.
Congress can collect taxes, and the states can't resist the demands.
I chose this picture becasue it really shows how citizens are uncomfortable they are with the current income tax. There has been a huge debate on the 16th amendment because there is discomfort with citizens and they want to abolish the 16th amendment. I don't think Americans' should refuse to pay taxes until the government actually gets the spending under control. Something needs to be done.
