How many of you out there know that the 16th Ammendment to the Constitution was not legally ratified?

Question

(the birth of the federal income tax) The number of states required for rattification was not met. How many of you know that there is no law requiring us to pay a federal income tax on our wages and labor?

Answer 1

Hmmm. I thought that was the 14th amendment.

Anyway, yes I've heard of that. Legal researchers have verified that the amendment to perperate a federal tax upon the people was never really legally ratified.

And that's just the beginning of the fraud upon the people of this nation. There's no real value to our money, since going off the gold standard in 1933. AND the IRS and the Federal Reserve are quasi government agencies.--Don't even get me started, because there's plenty more. This scandalous fraud is wayyy worse than the Enron fiasco and even the Emporer's New Clothes. This is a fraud against the whole country, spanning several generations, and is continuing, unbeknownst to most.

Answer 2

Coragryph and Silentnonrev are right. The Supreme Court decided this issue shortly after the 16th Amendment was ratified in 1913. If you tell the IRS that you did not file tax returns because the 16th Amendment was not properly ratified, you may well get a visit from a Special Agent of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division. Their goal is to put you in a federal prison. The people who don't file income tax returns may go to a prison without bars and fences, but it is still prison. Playing tennis with Kenneth Lay for the next 2 or 3 years does not sound like too much fun. File your taxes and stay far away from the people who have been lying to you.

Answer 3

From Wikipedia:.
Some tax protesters, conspiracy investigators, and others opposed to income taxes cite what they contend is evidence that the Sixteenth Amendment was never "properly ratified." One argument is based on the contention that the legislatures of various states passed bills of ratification with different capitalization, spelling of words, or punctuation marks (e.g. semi-colons instead of commas). Another argument made by some tax protesters is that because Congress did not pass an official proclamation recognizing Ohio's year 1803 admission to statehood until 1953 (see Ohio Constitution), Ohio was not a state until 1953. Therefore, they argue, the Sixteenth Amendment was not properly ratified. These arguments have been universally rejected by the courts.

Answer 4

This argument keeps getting raised, and it's been shot down by the Supreme Court for over 90 years.

The 16th Amendment was ratified by 37 of the 48 states, with 36 being required. While many of those ratifications had differences in capitolization or minor punctuation, none of those differences were material because none of them affected the meaning or interpretation of the amendment.

Since the formatting issues had no effect on the text or interpretation of the law, the US Supreme Court ruled that the 16th Amendment was properly ratified. This was confirmed by the Court in dozens of cases, going back to Brushaber v. Union Pac. R. Co., 240 U.S. 1, 36 S.Ct. 236 (1916).

And when you talk about "no law requiring us to pay taxes", you are apparently ignoring all of Title 26 of the US Code, as passed by Congress for the past 90 years. This has been confirmed, over and over and over again by every federal appellate court and every federal case that has reviewed the matter. It's been litigated so many times that any any lawyer who has attempted to argue the issue in the past half-century years has been subject to sanctions for raising a frivolous issue.

The 16th Amendment is as binding a requirement as Miranda warnings, or the Exclusionary Rule, or any other Supreme Court holding before or since. Trying to argue otherwise will get you absolutely nowhere except landed in jail.

Answer 5

as with every issues with the government I epect some chicanery got here approximately to get the exchange by yet no courtroom is ever going to rule the sixteen th exchange unconstitutional from now on than they're going to abo;ish the IRS - there is an previous saying you do no longer chew the hand that feeds you- so forget approximately any nonsense arguing that the sixteenth exchange is unconstitutional because of the fact the powers that be will by no skill hear - it criminal or unlawful- this is right here to stay this is interesting that they abolished slavery in total prefer of voluntary servitude - "voluntary" is relatively a sort of humorous tale because of the fact lower back then in case you probably did no longer "voluteer" to artwork you and your loved ones in reality starved -"capture 22" so in case you probably did artwork you have been undertaking to earnings tax yet another catch22- and so we exist someplace between slaves and unfastened adult men and in our fractional reserve equipment credit=debt so probably we are able to by no skill get out of it a stability of forces debt = credit + activity style of "neutonian" in nature aside from activity. And now we even have substantial redistrubution of earnings unlike in 1913 so some do no longer ought to artwork?.

Answer 6

Yeah yeah, the problem with that is the language of the law the legalese if you will. See when they thought of taxes they meant taxes that the government keeps. You get a refund at the end of the year so your argument is invalid.

Answer 7

have fun trying to play tennis with Ken Lay, it might be hard considering that he's DEAD. Anyway, try not filing your taxes and see how legal it is.
