Well, some people uphold that the 16th amendment was never properly ratified ...
More than 60 million (truely patriotic) Americans do not file a 1040. Why would they get away with it if this was "illegal"?
How did the US survive without a federal income tax prior to 1913

Why was it introduced the very same year that the "FED"up was foisted upon an unwary public in a very clandestine fashion?

Yeah, confetti raining down on the whole world, 'cause they print(ed) so much.
Should more and more oil producing countries "dare" to sell their oil only in exchange for real values (as opposed to worthless confetti), then this fake will become even more obvious.
BTW, Iraq had started to sell its oil for Euros prior to the invasion.
Luckily, our troops found sooooooooooo many weapons of mass destruction!
And now Iraq is selling for dollars again.
Let's do the maths ...
