You "just" wanted to see what my crazy response would be? Looks like you wanted to do more than "just" see my response since you are engaging me further telling me to prove things to you. lol

The income tax existed before the Fed and it actually funded the operations of the government at that time.

This changed in 1913 with the 16th Amendment. The income tax which pays the Fed interest was created in 1913, didn't mean to say that the actual IRS was created in 1913.
