What do you think about it?

wichitaor1: what does the 17th amendment say?

Answer 1

I watched this video and agree with it completely, but, one thing you don't realize is that the ones who own the Federal Reserve are not going to allow this to go full bloom because it would take $billions from their pockets, they have the power to control the press, THE T.V media and any and every thing in between, they are super rich Zionist who are so unscrupulous they even participated in the extermination of millions of people during WW11 do some research and it will be obvious , they are the ones behind AIPAC and in turn AIPAC controls our political system both the Rep's and Dem's and all the way to the president, and any one who opposes them will not be elected , reelect or impeached, the only way our people will ever be free is to kick them out first then all of our present politicians, our people need to take back the Federal.Reserve , their money supply,

Answer 2

Yes, I saw it. As a liberatarian and a person who loves documentaries, I was hoping for great things.

But I was very disappointed. I found the film to be intellectually dishonest and a vehicle for the filmmaker to further his political beliefs with blatant misformation. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and educate the viewer. This one doesn't.

But don't take my word for it. From the NY Times:

"Facts Refute Filmmaker’s Assertions on Income Tax in ‘America’"

"...examination of the assertions in Mr. Russo’s documentary.. shows... they ... collapse under the weight of fact."

"Many of the reviews in major newspapers have accepted as having some factual basis the film’s main contention, ... even though every court that has ever ruled on these issues has upheld the constitutionality of the income tax.

"... Mr. Russo says ...that the Internal Revenue Service has refused every request to show any law making Americans liable for an income tax on their wages. ... Yet among those thanked in the credits for their help in making the film is Anthony Burke, an I.R.S. spokesman. Mr. Burke said that when Mr. Russo called him asking what law required the payment of income taxes on wages, he sent Mr. Russo a link to documents, including Title 26 of the United States Code, citing the specific sections that require income taxes be paid on wages. Title 26 says on its face that it is law enacted by Congress."

"..Arguments made in court that the income tax is invalid are so baseless that Congress has authorized fines of $25,000 for anyone who makes them..."

"... Mr. Russo says in the film that the 16th Amendment was never properly ratified and thus a tax on wages is unconstitutional. This claim has been made in various forms by thousands of tax protesters since 1913, and so far their batting average with the courts is .000.
To buttress the claim that the 16th Amendment is invalid, the film displays a quotation from a federal district judge, James C. Fox. But the transcript from which the judge’s words were taken shows that while he spoke those words, they were in the context of laying out issues and that the conclusion he reached was the opposite of the words quoted."

Research the points for yourself from reliable sources.

Answer 3

Have you ever heard of the 17th Amendment?

People who make these asinine videos should actually read the ENTIRE Constitution.

Answer 4

I watched the video a few times. Too bad Aaron died. He will be greatly missed.
