The 16th Amendment gave no new powers of taxation per the Supreme Courts take on it and mainly per the Constitution's take on it.

People pay into tax because:

A: They don't know any better
B: They fear that if they don't they will go to jail
C: Are morons who think it's Patriotic
D: They feel they get something good in return

and maybe a few more reason I'm not thinking of.

Income as defined pre-1913 was not tax on labor. It has not changed.. if you look through the court details in all of the cases where taxation was disputed in the Supreme court.. you'll see the tax in question was derived from corporations/International imports or some such fashion.
