THIS IS THE ACTUAL TEXT OF THE REVENUE ACT OF 1913 (Revenue Act of 1913, Pub.L. 63–16, 38 Stat. 114). You may find this statute here at or about page 53. https://govtrackus.s3.amazonaws.com/...E-38-Pg114.pdf


This 1913 statute is significant in that it was written and passed at the very same time that the sixteenth amendment was ratified. The actual words of this 1913 statute conclusively prove that from the very beginning, CONGRESS always intended to tax, and always did tax the INDIVIDUAL income of ALL HUMAN BEINGS WHO LIVED IN ANY STATE OR TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES, called "RESIDENTS" AND "INDIVIDUALS" (not just "U.S. citizens" or "corporations"). This actual words of this 1913 statute below also prove that from the very beginning, this same exact 1913 Congress also intended to tax, and always did tax WAGES, SALARIES AND OTHER COMPENSATION FOR PERSONAL SERVICES AS "INCOME" (not just "corporate profits"). Now, more than a century later, this remains the law today.

CONCLUSION:


THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SINGLE REVENUE ACT PASSED SINCE 1913 (WHEN THE SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT WAS ADOPTED) WHICH DID NOT IMPOSE AN INCOME TAX ON THE INCOMES OF INDIVIDUALS (WHETHER "CITIZENS" OR NOT).


"INCOME" HAS ALWAYS INCLUDED ALL WAGES, SALARIES AND OTHER COMPENSATION FOR PERSONAL SERVICES.


AN INDIVIDUAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN DEFINED AS A "CITIZEN OR RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES."


SO, IF YOU LIVE WITHIN ANY STATE OR TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES, YOU ARE SUBJECT TO INCOME TAXES, WHETHER YOU ARE A CITIZEN OR NOT AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU CALL YOURSELF.


THE SOLE EXCEPTION IS "FOREIGN" DIPLOMATS WHOSE NAMES APPEAR ON PARTICULAR LIST AT THE UNITED STATES STATE DEPARTMENT.
