Yes its true there is no law that states that you have to pay taxes its just another way for politicians to pocket our money...also theyre supposed to tell you how your tax money was spent yet we never receive any letters clarifying that. Yet if you dont pay you eventually end up in ****...but these guys dont care wether people can barely make enough money to get by. All they care about is making more money, its always about the money. I love this country, i hate the people who run it.

Almost everything you wrote is true, i'm not sure about the assasination part. But yes unlike most countries central bamks our central bank is privately owned and almost completely independant of the government that's the screwed up part.
And as ned beatty's character said in "Network:" There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multi-national dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, Reichmarks, Yen, Rubles, Pounds, and Shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today.
Rockerfella and the other robber barons put the federal reserve in place in 1915 and it has been working toward one thing: What Beatty said above.

Go for the obvious on this one. The fact that people have been sent to prison for tax evasion out to be a clue to anybody with half a brain that you have to pay income tax. It is a felony to evade assessment of tax by filing a fraudulent return or not filing at all combined with other overt acts. It is also a felony to evade payment by hiding your assets or lying to the tax collector. This is different than owing taxes that you can't pay.

A) Is there a law that legalizes income tax?
Yes, It is in Title 26 of the U.S. Code

B) Is the Federal Reserve system privately owned?
'The Federal Reserve was intentional designed to be quasi-independent so there are distinct elements of both public and private ownership. To understand these levels of 'ownership', we need to take a look at the structure. (ref: http://www.federalreserveeducation.org/fed101/structure/ )
At the top of the Federal Reserve System is the Board of Governors. These are all appointed for 14-year terms by the president and confirmed by congress. It operates per it's charter and laws set by congress. it is overseen by congress. There is absolutely no structure or mechanism for private ownership at this level. (If someone disagrees: please explain how someone could take legal title to own and control the Board of Governors).
The 12 branches, however, are organized similar to private corporations. Member banks are required to buy shares in their branch. They can vote for 6 of their 9 board members. The shares get a standard 6% dividend. These shares cannot be sold on the open market. All 'profit' from the Federal Reserve branches are turned over to the Treasury at the end of the year.
Is this 'private ownership'? Even the courts have a hard time with making the distinction in related decisions.
The Fed itself has a wishy-washy answer saying the branches 'are not really "Private" companies but owned by the citizens" (see http://www.federalreserve.gov/generalinfo/faq/faqfrbanks.htm#6 )
I personally equate it to contracting out; the Board of Governors has oversight and ultimate responsibility but the branch work is carried out by this contrived joint partnership arrangement of member banks.
C) Does the Fed pocket the interest from the T-Notes they purchase?
Not really. About 2% is used for expenses and dividends to member banks. 98% is returned to the Treasury.
D) Is the web site
http://www.wtv-zone.com/Mary/FEDERALRESERVE.HTML filled with inaccuracies and misinformation?
Absolutely.

we pay taxes but the real rich don't - come over here and work and you will pay taxes also without choice due to your employer taking it out - unless u work in a "cash" business such as a lot of foreigners and go to the states solely for the American $$$ and don't pay a dime in taxes and totally bash the country. Try bashing your country in your country, they will cut your tongue off. Or, better yet, try hiding your cash and shipping it out, they will cut your hands off. Meanwhile, many go to America, don't pay taxes, hides their cash and even collect money from the govern't, on whose expense - the american worke. What are your sources talking about Americans don't pay taxes, taxes are too high. In america, you pay Federal, in some states, you pay State and city and local tax. Also, if you go to the store and buy toilet paper, you will pay for that toilet paper to keep your booty clean :)

Actually, you have to pay. That clever interpretation of federal law has been consistently rejected by courts.
"unlike most countries central bamks our central bank is privately owned "
Even if true, privately owned does not equal bad. World wide, the countries with the best economies have banks that are insulated for politics. Germany and now the European bank. Japan. You really want politicians decided to cut interest rates to increase their chances in the upcoming election?

There may not be a law, but the US Supreme Court has say that you have to pay income tax. I believe some idiot was sent to prison for failing to pay his income tax several years ago, because he listened to one of those backwater Republican radio pundits telling him not to. It may have been Limbaugh who got everyone fired up.

Keep dreaming. Write me from prison. It doesn't matter if you can't find the law. It doesn't matter what some hucksters tell you. All that matters is what the judge says and where the marshals take you after you see the judge.
