The 16th amendment does NOT apply to most people living (not federal lands) within these United States.
Why?
Examine the 10 miles square clause in the federal constitution which is a "jurisdictional" issue to argue.
See Art. 1, Sec. 8, Clause 17.
This clause was placed there to prevent the general government from encroaching on the various States so, therefore, "it" ONLY gets 10 miles square in each State (federal lands - must be purchased) for certain things ONLY.
If one argues the 16th amendment, then one loses, as it is the WRONG argument to present in court because it is a "secondary" issue as opposed to a "primary" issue.
Need to re read a few times to absorb..the chat gpt sounds exactly like our judiciary unfortunately. Clever of you.

U.S. citizens BEFORE the 14th amendment (federal citizens) met one was a citizen of "one of these United States (States)."
Language and history are very crucial to study, and English was my second language.
