')Well, THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO WATCH THE FILM, ISN'T IT?
Another problem is: I'm not an American.
When it come to the threat of fascism, I have other (Dutch) things to worry about. Over here Chavez lovers who do not seem to have any qualms about Chavez' increasingly bad human rights record, have recently taken parliament by storm, for instance (25 out of 15 seats). While on the other side of the political spectrum we have a bunch of rightwing red necks, who seem to attract an ever increasing number of voters.
That's the sort of visible fascist tendencies that I have to be concerned about. Especially so, because being PO aware, I know that such Weimar Republic kind of political split might lead to a very unpleasant situation, as soon as PO really takes off.
Over here in continental Europe we all sorts of fascist tendencies in our parliaments, often focused on immigrants, so I tend to shrug my shoulders when some American movie maker comes round, using the f-word quite carelessly. I hope you can appreciate that.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('NugBlazer', ' ')It is unconstitutional because:
1. The 16th Amendment -- the one that instituted income taxes -- was NEVER RATIFIED.
2. The Supreme Court has said, ELEVEN times no less, that the 16th Amendment does NOT give ANY new powers of taxation to the government.
3. Income taxes are UNAPPORTIONED. The Constitution SPECIFICALLY says that all direct taxes (which income takes are) must be APPORTIONED.
4. THERE IS NO LAW saying that you are required to file income taxes. That's right: NO law exists. I dare you to research and try to find it. It's simply not there.
Well, in that case I dare you to simply stop paying income taxes. And all other American citizens. Make it a federal court case.
5. Even if Income taxes were legal, they DO NOT GO TOWARDS THE NATIONAL DEBT. That is a total myth.
