    They are referring to some fringe “tax protester” conspiracy theories which dispute that the 16th amendment was properly ratified. You can read about them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_protester_Sixteenth_Amendment_arguments#Sixteenth_Amendment_ratification

    Suffice it to say, these ‘theories’ have been largely rejected, including by the states themselves, and by the SCOTUS.
