Oh wait whats this? The US Constitution
I guess she forgot read the 16 Amendment
"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."
Next time do your own research instead copy and pasting some propaganda and taking it as fact

In the case of Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co.[6], the Supreme Court declared taxes on income from property under the 1894 Act to be unconstitutional unapportioned direct taxes. The Court reasoned that a tax on income from property should be treated as a tax on "property by reason of its ownership," and should therefore be required to be apportioned. The reasoning was that taxes on the rents from land, the dividends from stocks and so on burdened the property generating the income in the same way that a tax on "property by reason of its ownership" burdened that property.
