$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kpeavey', 'I') filed my taxes this year. After not filing since 1995, I got a visit from a nice man


Did you pay taxes at work meantime? Or none at all?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MattS', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('slesh', 'O')h, and MattS, we are talking of INCOME TAXES ON LABOR not on property, which, to my knowledge people are not property in the US in todays day and age. And if the fed tries that argument, I can alwas throw that out there can't I now.


What part of the 16th Amendment don't you understand?

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."


Its easy to deny something that has an elusive definition, but in this case if you ask any Federal govt. employee up to and including the president to show you the law on income taxes levied on labor, they cannot!
MattS, you asked me to show you the case that says it isn't legal, I ask you to show me the case "where the law is in writting" that I have to pay income tax on my labor.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pretorian', 'D')id you pay taxes at work meantime? Or none at all?

some years self employed, paid in nothing
some years worked for the man, paid in something
some years too far back to be included, paid some, far less than would be otherwise confiscated

with interest and penalties, they got about what they should have had I handed over my money up front

I did the ath on how long it took the govt to spend all that money
about 1/3 of a second

If they have a bone to pick, bring it, otherwise they should just move along.

Tax protesters often make good points. But they usually overlook an important fact about the US government: It is a bunch of thugs who don't always obey the laws they write. Tax protesters have been murdered by federal marshals, for example. Google "Gordon Kahl," and read this:

ya, ive seen this one. It's not really matter of being subjected to the tax. I understand society needs some tax to take care of infrastructure and such, its the fact they lie and hide things that bothers me most.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Individual tax protestors will never succeed. Not because they are wrong, but because the federal government will do as it sees fit.

If you want to seriously take on the income tax issue, you need to lobby your state legislature to exert it's 9th and 10th amendment rights against the federal government. If you can get the state to challenge the federal government in court, you might see some results.

Of course, the last time states tried to exert their 9th and 10th amendment rights was in 1860, and we all know how that turned out...

if you dont want to pay taxes-- work for cash, or use more taxdollars than you pay, or became the one who lives of someone elses taxes.
You can also call taxes "protection money" to feel better. That's what they are anyway. This way or another there are always will be people who will live at other people's cost, dice it or slice it.

About six years ago I received a nice letter from our friendly IRS racketeers telling me that I owed them some $14,000 in back taxes. This was a bogus shake-down as I hadn't made $14,000 that year. After a year of battle I fought them to a draw. It was then that I began to educate myself about this syndicate. What I found out caused me to sever any future dealings with this bogus organization.

I have not regretted that decision. I have joined some 67 million other Americans who do not pay protection to this band of thieves. Our numbers grow each year.

(And by the way, the 16th amendment has nothing to do with it.)
A good place to start.

I believe you are correct buzzard, but so many people relate the 16th to income tax, I only know this, I do not pay income tax, have not for some time now. In every court case I have seen testimony on the simple question came down to "show me the written law or statute" and in every case the IRS could not.

That's right. There is no law that states that most average Americans must keep records, file a tax return or pay any money to the IRS. Only citizens of the District of Columbia and United States possessions. I am a United States citizen - not subject to their tax.

You are also correct in that every court challenge has been lost by the IRS and will be lost because they are not backed by law.

More Americans are waking up each year. Former IRS agents when they discover the law stop paying money to this criminal organization themselves.

You fascinate me guys. You seem to miss the gist of the whole idea of taxation (of any kind ). It has nothing to do with 16th amendment, somekinda LAW , Constitution or any other paper bullshit. The thing is, that if something can be taken by somebody, taken it will be.
Imagine yourself a prosperous business owner who catches attention of an organized group who would like to have a 10-20% cut of your income.
Unless you are in a good relationship with a bigger organized groupthere is nothing you can do about it; you will pay, either with money or health or lost profit or combination of the above.

Yes, USA and whomever controlls it are too big to run after every minuscule non-payer with a hot iron and a pair of pliers; neverthless there are always prisoncells available ; they are always can take yours by force and give you a few extra-years if you fret too much. BECAUSE THEY CAN. Whether there are enough paper to justify it ( currently ) or not, it doesn't matter. This way or another , they will take from you what they want/need,BECAUSE THEY CAN. And you should be gratefull that they want just your money, in other countries they will gladly tax your flesh&blood too.

I can only agree. But what makes it so God damn irritating is that US is still being paraded as the beacon of freedom, democracy and justice.
If we (I mean the world in general) simply recogniced that Pablo Escobar is President, Reinfeld and Quissling clones make up the congress, Mugabe is heaad of Federal Reserve and Pol Pot runs IRS, it wouldn't be such a big deal as we knew what we are in for.

Good luck with that 16th amendment appeal. Hope you guys don't spend too long in prison.
