The offices of U.S. Marshals and Deputy Marshals were created by the first Congress in the Judiciary Act of 1789, the same legislation that established the federal judicial system. In a letter to Edmund Randolph, the first Attorney General of the United States, President George Washington wrote,
Impressed with a conviction that the due administration of justice is the firmest pillar of good Government, I have considered the first arrangement of the Judicial department as essential to the happiness of our Country, and to the stability of its political system; hence the selection of the fittest characters to expound the law, and dispense justice, has been an invariable object of my anxious concern.

The constitution DOES NOT allow for DIRECT TAXES which the INCOME TAX IS A DIRECT TAX.
You're incorrect. See IRC Sec. 61; IRC Sec. 6151; Reese v. United States, 24 F.3d 228, 231 (Fed. Cir. 1994); United States v. Becker, 965 F.2d 383, 389 (7th Cir. 1992) (finding defendant’s contention that wages are not income to be “ridiculous"); United States v. Sloan, 939 F.2d 499, 500 (7th Cir. 1991) (rejecting defendant’s argument that the revenue laws of the United States do not impose a tax on income; the court recognized the “Internal Revenue Code imposes a tax on all income”); United States v. Connor, 898 F.2d 942, 943-44 (3d Cir.), cert. denied, 497 U.S. 1029 (1990) (court stated that “[e]very court which has ever considered the issue has unequivocally rejected the argument that wages are not income.”); Lonsdale v. Commissioner, 661 F.2d 71, 72 (5th Cir. 1981) (court rejected as “meritless” the taxpayer’s contention that the “exchange of services for money is a zero-sum transaction...").
It states clearly taxation will be from tariffs and corporate exchanges and trade, not from the paychecks, the property or car registrations, or.. should i go on.
I don't necessarily disagree with your sentiments here, but your conclusions are wrong. If you think the tax system is wrong, and again, I don't disagree, there are better ways to go about lowering taxes rather than spreading falsehoods.
sure tax evasion is not respected today because everyone has been transformed by the society they have delusioned themselves in. money is a corruptor of the human spirit, I will work tirelessly to show humanity how it is a false standard of existence and that there are better ways to live. Its out of greed, manipulation and control, or ignorance that a person excuses the genocidal madness money causes people to enter. So check your facts friends. ANd maybe go look up a phrase known as "the moral directive" something people in this materialistic hell needs to learn.

The constitution mostly does not say what the government can and can’t do. It says what the People are entitled to. And nowhere does it mention freedom from taxation. Furthermore, the Sixteenth Amendment very specifically does allow federal income tax.
And guess what, tax evasion is very much against the law.

Aside from some small matters, if it's not in the Constitution, it's not allowed.
2) It's been fairly well documented that the 16th Amendment was not ratified by the requirements of the Constitution, therefore does not apply.
Additionally, it was ruled upon by the Supreme court around 8 times, and from what I recall, those rulings dictated that the 16th Amendment gave Congress no new powers of taxation than the Constitution gave it to begin with.
This is true when you consider that your labor and payment for such is not considered income since it is an even trade (meaning no net gain).
The income tax is not an excise tax.

One more thing, technically, I think the Income tax is actually considered to be an excise tax.
If anyone can explain that nonsense to me, well, my hat's off to you.

Sawukaytis v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2002-156, 83 T.C.M. (CCH) 1886, 1888 (2002) – the court imposed a $12,500 penalty against the taxpayer for arguing the income tax is an excise tax and that he did not engage in excise taxable activities. The court found the taxpayer’s “position, based on stale and meritless contentions, is manifestly frivolous and groundless.”
