I love this topic......I will be watching the New Hampshire tax evasion standoff with interest. Look to the Federal Reserve act that privatized the Banking system. Some claim this was unconstitutional.
The bottom line is this:
Who controls the money controls everything.
The Federal Reserve is a private bank who is in business to profit.
The National Debt cannot mathematically be paid off.
If you don't pay your taxes you will go to prison.
If you fight it in court you will lose. (its been tried a few times)
Taxes are not spent in the best interests of the people.
See a government spending pie chart: WAR #1 by far. Why?

The political law is there - 16th Amendment.
There is just no economic reason why we need to fork over between a quarter and half of our incomes to the government. It directly reduces the amount we have left over to spend and invest, which would grow the economy, and we spend most of it on benefits for people who fell through the cracks because the economy didn't create enough jobs because the money we could have spent or invested was taken by the goverment - in other words, it's one big vicious cycle, a solution that recreates the problem to begin with, and the only beneficiary is the government itself.

Specific Constitutional justification, no. But the Constitution allows the government to make laws for the nation and collect taxes of a kind. I believe Federal law justifies it.
Try US Code, Title 26, Subtitle A (Income Taxes), best I could find fast. There is a body of law on the subject, though no specific line I can see saying, "We can tax your income".

This has been bandied about for quite some time. It has to do with the 16th Amendment, with some people saying it was not properly ratified.
The government does indeed have the power to levy taxes. The Amendment states "Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on income, from whatever source derived..."
It's so amusing that people don't want to pay taxes. Yet they're happy to drink clean water, breath clean air, drive on safe roads, call the police when in trouble, have safety on the job...etc. etc.
(And for those who gripe about welfare programs, less than 2% of the budget goes for entitlement programs, which includes Medicare).

The Income Tax Act was passed into federal law like any other law. I have no problem whatsoever in paying my fair share to keep the nation running. Everyone should be paying for the upkeep of the national defense, federal roads, etc. I do object to tax loopholes, though, that allow wealthy people and corporations to escape their responsibility and leave the burden on the rest of us.

Patrick... I couldn't have said it better myself. I could paraphrase tho... taxes paid are equivalent to political power given up to the govt. Cutting programs is the only way to reduce this power. Cutting or reducing taxes just means they will have to get the money elsewhere.
I don't have a problem paying taxes... I do have a problem with what they do with the money after they get it.

Yes it is true. They never legally ratified the16th Amendment in 1913.
We are forced to pay taxes under rule of Federal Government
There is no law, all taxes are voluntary. But if you choose not to pay them - they (Federal Government) inforce it and throw you in prison.
Pretty messed up huh
