“Even if you don’t have a lot of income, you still have to file so the government spies on everything,” Davidson said.
Congressman Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, introduced legislation to repeal the 16th Amendment, stating that the government should not tax people’s income.
“Originally the country didn’t have an income tax,” Davidson said on the Wednesday edition of the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show. “They passed the 16th amendment to make it legal to tax people’s income. It was originally just going to be for the really, really rich people. And of course, now it’s hitting everybody.”
Davidson introduced H.J. Resolution 47 last year but the House has not yet voted on it. The Ohio congressman said he hopes to get a recorded vote on it.
Other House members behind this legislation include Reps. Mary Miller, R-Ill., and Ronny Jackson, R-Texas.
The legislation was referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
“Even if you don’t have a lot of income, you still have to file so the government spies on everything,” Davidson said. “Like, did somebody pay you? Did you pay somebody? Did you buy or sell something? Did you make or lose money? Did you give a gift or receive a gift? Was the gift too generous? Like, get out of my life and get a warrant if you need to know all this stuff.”
