Every year a number of people who believe that the income tax system is not legal receive an all expenses paid vacation to Kansas or some other exotic location. I have noted that a large number of Federal Correctional Officers live in or near those locations so they must be very appealing. Perhaps if you operate under this practice long enough you will win one of those vacations.

Which date do you want? The Internal Revenue Code (Title 26 of the US Federal Code) has been amended multiple times. The date is not relevant anyway. The fact congress passed the law and the President signed it are all that matters.

Don't be a fool. You will get thrown behind bars with all the other tax evaders no matter what the constitution says or doesn't say. No judge will listen to your whining. Perhaps if you were educated you would appreciate the system of law that levies these taxes, and you would know how to spell BELIEVE.
