Well.. the courts settle it in both directions... that's the problem...
And .. it may take more and more people to say, "Enough is enough.."
This could be where it's headed..
Congressman John Linder authored the The FairTax Act, H.R. 25 with these backers as of 2005...

In the face of the outlandish American tax burden, talk-radio firebrand Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder are leading the charge to phase out our current, unfair system and enact the FairTax Plan, replacing the federal income tax and withholding system with a simple 23 percent retail sales tax on new goods and services. This dramatic revision of the current system, which would eliminate the reviled IRS, has already caught fire in the American heartland, with more than six hundred thousand taxpayers signing on in support of the plan.
