:::He means that he is refusing to acknowledge anyone who receives a perfect score, so as to make his test look more difficult and meaningful than it actually is. I and one of my friends both got 100% on this quiz on our first attempts. My friend last night, and myself just now. Of course, neither of these will be acknowledged on the Main Page or on here. Since the only person who has access to the test scores in User:ASchlafly, he can say whatever he likes. I would challenge Mr. Schlafly to put the full set of test scores online for us to read (without names associated with scores, of course) to see how many people have already passed. But I'm not exactly holding my breath. [[User:ColinnM|ColinnM]] 17:50, 14 February 2013 (EST)
== Question Regarding Legality of Income Tax ==
== Question Regarding Legality of Income Tax ==
Although the 16th Amendment did grant Congress the ability to levy a tax without basing that tax on census results or the like, the ability to tax income was still within Congress' authority prior to the 16th amendment. It is a common misconception that the 16th amendment "legalized" the income tax. The full text is: "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 bolded section, obviously, being the distinction from what was the case prior. [[User:JaPo|JaPo]] 03:25, 13 February 2013 (EST)
