i've seen the laws about property taxes and corporate profits taxes, but i can't seem to find a law that requires people to pay a tax on labor and wages.

okay, i'm not disputing any of thes laws that have been referenced, but they all say "taxable income". if the income is not taxable, then the law is null. where, exactly does it say that your income is taxable? i just want the law that says "we own you, you are serfs, a portion of everything that is yours belongs to us." also, because people are jerks, i do not generate income. i would gladly pay if i knew the money was used to do something other than warmongering and attempting to set up empire across the globe. i love this country and all of those in it, but i cannot tolerate bullying by a non-elected racketeering paramilitary agency.

Oh and let's not forget that you're taxed on the "gains" you get from letting the banks "use" your money. You are supposed to claim any interest earned from banking accts if over a certain amout. I'm assuming that this was brought up in light of the "freedom to fascism" video, as I was trying to do the same research when it landed me here. I'm not a lawyer, but nowhere in S 61 does it say "wages" are taxable income. this is what it says: "Compensation for services, including fees, commissions, fringe benefits, and similar items "commissions, and Fees" are above and beyond what one would consider as wages.. It is very obscure, but I guess one could consider "compensation for services" as wages.. since you are technically providing a service for compensation.
Sometimes I wonder if the Constitiution and laws are written to be amended/perceived to the viewpoints of those that uphold the law. Such as in this case. Would it not be so simple to just state "wages" and also what's with the "including but not limited to"?? that just leaves it wide open for ANYTHING to be slipped in that category later. It's easy to bend the law for your benefit when you're one of the ones who creates them.

the link Wayne Z provides is a good one. In particular, I refer you to s 61 of the Code, which defines gross income. Wages are listed there.
It really is very simple. Tax "protesters" (aka tax dodgers and criminals) have to jump through lots of hoops to try and convince courts that the Code says something different.
Edit: Then you look at s 63, which defines taxable income and is, amongst other things, an extension of s 61. Why do tax evaders have such a hard time reading?

The 16th Ammenment to the US Constitution created Federal Income Tax. Proposed on July 12, 1909 with ratification accomplished on February 3, 1913. http://www.usconstitution.net/constamnotes.html#Am16
Congress implemented a new tax law in October of 1913. Heres a link to a history of US tax laws

Talk to the IRS they can tell you what need to know I am sure.If I did not have to pay taxes I could make more money but they got us we have to pay taxes what pays for all the people on welfare and food stamps that are to damn lazy to work.The people that need help,the old the ones that have a disability cant get nothing but if you are a crack head or have 10 children with 10 men you can get it all so I guest we have to pay our taxes.

Feel free to make these ludicrious arguments to the IRS. You should also expect to pay the taxes due (ultimately), interest, hefty penalties, attornies' fees (yours and the IRS').
Others provided you the specific cites. Ignore them at your own risk.

The law is chapter one if the inernal revenue code. If you have doubts about the legality of the tax check on the hundreds of cases where tax protestors have tried to argue that it isn't legal, they have all lost.

Talk to any lawyer. Believe me, if there is a legal way to avoid paying taxes, they wouldn't pay.

Tax dodgers dont go through hoops they just dont pay taxes if they can get away with it. We shouldnt have to pay income tax in my state(in my opinion) . We have sales tax. and gas tax, and property tax and milk tax and blueberry tax and about a hundred other ways the put it to us. so i personally feel we are being double taxed. When I earn a dollar my state and federal government take about 25 cents of it. I go to spend the other 75 cents and they add a tax to that. Dont get me started. down with taxes. the government already take enough. Now they should take a bite of my @ss. thanks, thats my opinion. and i welcome yours.
