Yes I am aware but the government is powerful and always seems to beat these cases.

Law or not....where do you think that the government gets most of the money it uses to run this country....its schools, programs for people in need, giving our military the supplies it needs, and many other things....we could not survive as a coutry without taxes. Everyone wants something from the government....where do you think the government gets the funds to pay for all of the handouts it gives many people. I know that the government wastes a lot of money also however...Lets say in order to save tax money the government took away welfare...how many people would be angry and pissed off about that....or say the government decided not to help public schools....well we pay tuition then...and what if the government decided that the military did not need body armor or the best weapons....not good....taxes are important and a necessity to run a country....no matter how much I hate paying them every time I see my pay check....Like I said some of the money gets wasted but you have to take the good with the bad just as with any situation....

Only because the 16th amendment was never ratified...Being correct, unfortunately, does not make you able to excercize this knowledge. The SS has the guns, the army and the RFID chips to track the animals to their lairs. WE are the cattle that have pledged as collateral for the banker's organization. Birth certificate=warehouse receipt. Sad...prepare thyself and DO NOT accept the national ID card in MAY 2008

"The people of America are eager to learn the truth about how our government functions. It is time for the American people to understand that the Supreme Court has consistently ruled that the 16th Amendment did not give the government the authority to impose a direct unapportioned tax on the labor of the people. The IRS Code does not trump Supreme Court decisions. The Supreme Court has defined income, and it is neither wages nor labor."
The film, which has strong appeal to niche markets, has received phenomenal support from the grassroots and online community."
The US Code does not trump the Constitution either!
This came out in a ruling in 2002!
June 18, 2002 -- The U.S. Supreme Court dealt the restaurant industry a blow on June 17 when it ruled that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can use "aggregate estimates" of allegedly unreported tips to bill restaurant employers for FICA (Social Security and Medicare) payroll taxes on tips the agency says employees received in the past but failed to report. "
I think the Law is misinterpreted and the IRS benefits from a code that huge chunks are unconstitutional, however you still have to pay the taxes!
"The impact of the ruling is enormous," says Peter Kilgore, senior vice president and general counsel for the National Restaurant Association. "Financially, the IRS can go after the restaurant industry and the industry could be hit with a potential tax assessment back to 1988, when Congress first said restaurants owe taxes on all reported tips." Kilgore noted that even the dissenting opinion in Fior d'Italia indicated that restaurateurs could be held liable for taxes back to 1998, and that a statute of limitations does not apply on an employer's FICA tax liability for taxes on unreported tips.
"With restaurant profit margins typically around 3 to 5 percent, this could potentially put a number of restaurants out of business," says Kilgore.
"From a labor-relations standpoint, it turns employers into the 'tip police' because the ruling will in effect force employers to police employee tip reporting in order to protect themselves from IRS employer-only assessments," adds Kilgore. The ruling is likely to increase both the number of IRS audits and the pressure restaurateurs feel to get more involved in employee tip reporting through such measures as signing tip-reporting agreements with the IRS.
What next?
The Association vowed to take the fight over tip reporting to Capitol Hill and began lobbying Congress before the Supreme Court made its ruling on June 17. "Our primary emphasis is to get the tax code changed," says Kilgore. "But that could take a long time and there's no guarantee that any law will pass."
Justice David H. Souter wrote the dissenting opinion in the Fior d'Italia case, saying that the court's ruling "saddles employers with a burden unintended by Congress." Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas also dissented. "It seems clear that Congress did not mean to solve [the problem of underreporting tips] by allowing the IRS to use its assessment power to shift the problem to employers," the dissenting justices wrote.

I have heard this rhetoric before, both of the US and of Canadian's income tax laws....it's incorrect...I cant quote the exact laws, but beleive me, wealthy people pay alot more income tax than you and I, at least for the most part, have high priced accountants, so if it was legal to avoid taxes, they would be at the front of the line....This is just a bunch of right wing mumbo jumbo you are looking at.

Look. Someone else who hasn't bothered to read the laws.
Start with the 16th Amendment. Then read Title 26 of the US Code.
By the way, I've worked on the defense team for several people who thought they would try to argue that wages weren't income and that they weren't required to pay taxes. Some of them may actually get out of jail before they reach retirement age.

The Supreme Court said that income tax is lawfull and that ALL citizens are required to pay.
So it seems like you are giving out information that is false.

So don't pay. In fact, demand restitution of all of your past tax payments. With interest. Sue the government if you have to.
Have fun.

What country are you from? I have heard the same argument here in Canada, but the federal revenue agency does not agree with it.
