Welcome to the wonderful world of Capitalism. All the U.S. government did was change the word slavery to capitalism. It sounds better and was a better way to end the civil war and still allow the rich to have better control of the lower class. A new class was born, middle class. But with the way the laws are being ammended, we are going back to high class, low class, capitalism, and slavery.

Your display of ignorance about US law is about equal to you display of ignorance about economics.
First, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution specific allows the federal government to tax incomes.
Second, the Federal Reserve is Constitutional (at least the Supreme Court said so). What clause of the Constitution is violated by the existence of the Fed?
Third, the Federal Reserve is not owned by any "international bankers".
Fourth, the Federal Reserve is PAID interest for the money it loans. The US government pays interest on the public debt, but that is issued by the Treasury Department, not the Fed.

It IS unconstitutional and there IS NO LAW that requires ANY individual to pay an income tax or to even file an income tax report.

For those that want to oppose my wisdom please research these Supreme Court Rulings..
Stanton vs. Baltic Mining
Stratton Independence vs. Hobart
Doyle vs. Mitchell
Southern Pacific vs. Lowe
Coppage vs. Kansas 236 U.S. 1,14 (1914)
In the 1916 Stanton vs. Baltic Mining case The Supreme Court ruled that the 16th amendment gave government no new taxing power.
It's on the record folks.
All these lower courts that have tried tax evaders and ruled with the IRS has ruled illegally against the Supreme Court and technically their rulings are unjust and do not stand !!!
NO to the NWO....
Hist_ed:
You are wrong and I challenge you to SHOW ME THE LAW THAT REQUIRES ME TO PAY AN INCOME TAX!!!
Further more are YOU telling me that the SUPREME COURTS RULING in 1914 is WRONG when I can show you PROOF that the ruling exists. Remember this is in 1914, AFTER the 16 amendment was supposedly ratified.
Thank you...
AND
The Federal Reserve is UNCONSTITUTIONAL simply because OUR CONGRESS has the right to PRINT and ISSUE currency INTEREST FREE. SO why do we pay interest to a group of PRIVATE BANKERS that OWN the Federal Reserve.
Wake UP PEOPLE !!!!!!

You've been listening to Aaron Russo, and watching the Money Masters. Good job. Under our current system of taxation we pay approximately 35% of our wages in illegal direct taxes, which do not pay for any social services. They only cover the interest on the debt. When you include indirect taxes, such as gas & property taxes, the average American pays about 50% of his/her wages in taxes. Let's compare that to medieval serfs. Medieval serfs paid between 10 and 25% of their production in taxes to the landowners, or lords. Our history books speak of serfs as if they were slaves. What does that make us?

All of that is tax protestor garbage.
1. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to levy and collect taxes.
2. Income taxes are INDIRECT taxes in a Constitutional sense. Economists define income taxes as direct, but throughout the ENTIRE history of our country, income taxes have been treated as indirect. In Stanton v. Baltic Mining Co., 240 U.S. 103 (1916), the Supreme Court said, "by the previous ruling [in Brushaber] it was settled that the provisions of the 16th Amendment conferred no new power of taxation, but simply prohibited the previous complete and plenary power of income taxation possessed by Congress from the beginning from being taken out of the category of INDIRECT taxation to which it inherently belonged" Tax protestor websites love to take the first part of that sentence out of context.
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=240&invol=103
3. The 16th amendment was properly ratified. For those who say it wasn't ratified because there were capitalization errors or small wording errors in the amendments returned by several states, the 13th amendment had similar and in some cases more substantial errors. Since you say the 16th amendment wasn't ratified and you feel the need to tell everyone that, you should also be telling everyone that slavery is still allowed because the 13th amendment wasn't ratified.
4. USC Title 26 is the codification of the Internal Revenue Code which was passed by Congress and signed into law by a President. All changes to the Internal Revenue code are passed by Congress and signed into law by a President. Anyone can find the Internal Revenue Code in the U.S. Statutes at Large as long as they are smart enough to look.
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode26/usc_sup_01_26.html
5. The Federal Reserve IS a government entity. It is setup under USC Title 12, Chapter 3. If you would read and understand that statute, you might actually learn something instead of regurgitating some BS you saw on a video on the Internet. The Federal Reserve is required BY LAW to rebate most of the interest collected on U.S. Government debt to the treasury. Also, the Federal Reserve only has about 8% of the total U.S. debt anyway. I could give you a complete class on money and banking, but it would take up more room than I have available here.
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode12/usc_sup_01_12_10_3.html
6. It is really easy to walk up and down a street asking people about an income tax law. Most people wouldn't be able to state where it is. However, if you also asked those same people where there is a law against fraud, they wouldn't be able to state where that is either. Let's see if your common sense is working. Let me ask you, is there a law covering non-payment of child support? Is there a law covering counterfeiting? Is there a law covering arson? Is there a law covering embezzlement? Is there a law covering extortion? Is there a law covering fraud? Is there a law covering kidnapping? Is there a law covering perjury? Is there a law covering piracy? Is there a law covering racketeering? Is there a law covering burglary? Is there a law covering conspiracy? Is there a law covering assault? Is there a law covering murder? Can you name them?
You know all of those are covered by a law because if there wasn't a law against those acts, you couldn't be charged in criminal court for committing those acts. It is the same with failure to file income taxes. If there wasn't a law covering the requirement to file and pay income taxes, you couldn't be charged in criminal court with failing to file income taxes.
7. Every once in awhile someone will beat a criminal charge of "willful failure to file". An acquittal does not prove that you are not required to file income tax returns, any more than the acquittal of O.J. Simpson proves that it is legal to kill your ex-wife.
Vernice Kuglin was one of those people that beat a criminal charge, however she ended up settling her civil case and ended up paying $530,000 on $920,000 in income. So, the question is, would you rather pay 35% now or pay 58% later?
Everyone should visit the excellent tax protestor FAQ at http://evans-legal.com/dan/tpfaq.html Practically every argument that a tax protestor will use is shown to be false. If you are too far gone into the tax protestor delusion, then don't pay taxes or file returns. Don't forget to change your W-4 to exempt. The cost of prosecuting you is paid by honest taxpayers, but we all know that you care about no one but yourself.

Every once in a while someone comes up with a new excuse about how taxes are unconstitutional. Forget it! There is a law and it was ratified by enough states.
Everyone above that says paying taxes is unconstitutional is ignorant and uninformed! Give it a rest.
BTW, a "thumbs down" doesn't make my statements false.

I don't like te income tax any better than any one else--but t is constitutional.
Such taxes WERE prohibited by the original text of th eConstitution-but the 16th Ammendment specifically legalized income taxes.

Sorry, but we allowed the 16th amendment in 1913
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
We allowed it. If we want to change it, then tell your reps. Doubt it will happen though.

Sorry but you are nuts! You are ignorant and spreading lies.
You may disagree with me but I am the one stating the truth, not you.
Go ahead. Don't file your tax return and pay your taxes. See where that gets you - it's a law called "tax evasion" and you go to jail for that!
