2. The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution,
ratified on February 3, 1913,


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.

It is the LAW

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.

Since I would like to avoid federal prison, I think I'll keep paying mine.
