There is a law on income taxes. It is codified in Title 26 of the U.S. Code. The Internal Revenue Code was enacted by Congress and signed into law by a President.

What Supreme Court decision did this 'documentary' say the court said there wasn't an income tax law?

One form of argument is simply that the Internal Revenue Code was never enacted. This is easily disproved by checking the records of the U.S. Congress. The Internal Revenue Code of 1954 was passed by both houses of Congress as House Resolution 8300, and was signed by President Eisenhower on August 16, 1954, at about 9:45 a.m., becoming Public Law 83-591, 68A Stat. 3. The Internal Revenue Code is now known as the “Internal Revenue Code of 1986” as a result of changes made by Public Law 99-514, 100 Stat. 2085 (10/22/1986). More recent amendments to the Internal Revenue Code (as well as other public laws) can be found on-line through the “Thomas” web site maintained by the Library of Congress. http://thomas.loc.gov/

Here are a few court cases for you.

United States v. McDonald, 919 F.2d 146 (10th Cir. 1990); United States v. Studley, 783 F.2d 934, 940 (9th Cir. 1986).
"Indeed, as we have repeatedly held, the entire Internal Revenue Code was validly enacted by Congress and is fully enforceable."

Urban v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1991-220, affd. per curiam, 964 F.2d 888 (9th Cir. 1992).
"The petitioner’s argument that the Internal Revenue Code was not enacted by Congress is equally meritless. The Internal Revenue Code of 1954 was enacted by the 83rd Congress on August 16, 1954 (ch. 736, 68A Stat. 3) and has been amended by Congress with some frequency since that time."

United States v. Connor, 898 F.2d 942, 943-944 (3rd Cir. 1990).
"Every court which has ever considered the issue has unequivocally rejected the argument that wages are not income."

Perkins v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 746 F. 2d 1187, 1188 (6th Cir. 1984), affg. T.C. Memo. 1983-474; ; Beerbower v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 787 F.2d 588 (6th Cir. 1986).
"Wages are taxable income, and arguments to the contrary are ‘patently frivolous.’"

Do some research on this before you criticize it or dismiss it. There is something to it. At least 3 former IRS agents have gone public with this information. Former criminal investigator Joseph Bannister, for one, did his own investigation upon hearing about this fraud and when his superiors at the IRS could not refute his findings, he was asked to resign.

Also, the idea that government cannot operate without our income tax is just not true. Government ran very well before there ever was an income tax. Please do your own research as to how.

Furthermore, aside from the fact that most things the government has it s hands in are unnecessary and highly inefficient, according to the grace commission back in the 80s, our tax dollars do not go toward paying for any services. Again, research for yourself where it goes and what it is used for.

We aren't dumb. But there's not much the people can do. The Federal government loses alot of control and power if something like the Fair Tax (which abolishes the IRS and income tax) is ever put in place. There aren't enough "good" politicians in the Congress for it to ever pass.

Then I suggest you don't pay taxes and take the documentary to court with you. I have heard this for years and even the "big boys" are still paying taxes. If all this was true, do you think they would be paying them? Perhaps you will be sharing a cell with some of my friends from up North who got involved in these tax scams.

Bah, who needs roads, sewage systems, public television, the military, universities and colleges, public transport, welfare, the police, fire and rescue, public hospitals, border security, agricultural subsidies, forest rangers... the list goes on.

Governments are expensive. They run off the money of the people. If you don't want to pay taxes, fine, but don't expect to get the same benefits that hardworking taxpayers do. Go off and live in a forest somewhere with a portapotty.

Afraid it's not as simple as that. You need to edumacate yourself just a little bit more before posting crap like this.

'Sides, how do you expect the U.S. to operate at all when the gov't is broke? You want public education, you want social services, you want funding for anything, then you have to pay your taxes. The land of the free isn't free without the military, and how do you think it's paid for? Workers' Comp? Welfare? Etc?

The only thing I'd agree with is more regulation in gov't spending because some of the s*** they spend our tax dollars on should be crimes in and of themselves.
