An article about legal scholars.
Apparently, the IRS has listed the 42 anti-tax arguments on their website and debunked them all.
From the article:

As a historian, York said, it's clear to him that the issue has been settled. "This has been adjudicated at the U.S. Supreme Court level, and they're the ones that in fact decide whether the laws are constitutional, and they've decided that in fact the 16th Amendment is constitutional."
Stephen Black is a professor at Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord, and an expert in tax law. For years, he, too, has heard the arguments that there's no legal basis for federal income taxes.
He noted the IRS lists and refutes "all of the anti-tax arguments that have been collected over the years" on its Web site. (Search for "frivolous tax arguments" on irs.gov.)

I'm going to find this on the IRS site and link to it later. This is a major blow against the international banker conspiracist theories if the article is in fact accurate.
Interesting, though, that apparently the pop theory has gained enough traction that the IRS is now putting effort into refuting it. Before, they just ignored it as kook nonsense.
