Answer 1

1. The United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, states “The Congress shall have the Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States.”

2. The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution,
ratified on February 3, 1913, states,“The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on
income, from whatever source derived, without
apportionment among the several States, and without
regard to any census or enumeration”.

3. Congress used the power granted by the Constitution
and Sixteenth Amendment and made laws requiring
all individuals to pay tax.

4. Congress has delegated to the IRS the responsibility
of administering and enforcing these laws known as the Internal Revenue Code. Congress enacts the tax laws, IRS enforces them.

5. Courts have historically held there are no Constitutional
or legal grounds for failure to file tax returns and
failure to pay taxes.

6. The term voluntary compliance means that each of us is responsible for filing a tax return when
required and for determining and paying the correct
amount of tax.

7. Failing to file required returns and failing to pay taxes may result in criminal prosecution and/
or civil penalties.

8. While taxpayers have the right to contest their tax liabilities in the courts, taxpayers do not have the right to violate and disobey tax laws.

The IRS is a division of the United States Treasury which is a Goverment Agency. The IRS is not a private company

Answer 2

Title 26 of the United States Code.

Send the $10k to the Red Cross, please. I don't need it -- and don't want to pay taxes on it.

I won't hold my breath, though, as those whack-os have no intention of paying. You could hold a black frying pan in front of their noses and they'd swear that it was a pink dress.

Interestingly, most of them actually DO pay their taxes. They don't want to go to prison -- and I can't blame them for that.

They have no intention of paying anybody so proving it to them would be a moot point.
