It’s true. The American public is not legally obligated to file a 1040 to pay tax on their incomes.

(take a deep breath)

“If you… examined (the 16th Amendment) carefully, you would find that a sufficient number of states never ratified that amendment.” - James C. Fox, US District Court Judge, 2003
“There is no law. There is no law that requires the average American worker in the private sector to pay a direct un-apportioned tax on their labor and compensation for services. There is no law.” – Charlie Beall, We The People Foundation
The 16th Amendment (Income Tax Amendment) passed (illegally) on Feb. 3, 1913. It was put into place as collateral before the Federal Reserve Act passed on Dec. 23, 1913.

Because the Fed is a private bank that loans money to the Government, the private bankers needed a law in place that would insure the Government could make good on its loans – a tax on your income.

“100% of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the federal debt… All individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services tax payers expect from their Government.” - The Grace Commission Report
In 2005 the Government collected over $927 billion in personal income taxes. By comparison, the collection of corporate income taxes (which is legal) amounted to $278 billion.

From roughly 1916 to the mid 1920’s, there were a slew of Supreme Court cases on the topic. In EVERY instance the Supreme Court ruled that “the provisions of the 16th Amendment conferred no new power of taxation.” That ruling has not been overturned to this day.

In more recent state cases, approximately 25 people have been acquitted/found not guilty of tax evasion, because the courts could not provide evidence of the law that requires individuals to pay income tax.

Joe Bannister was forced to resign from the IRS when he asked his superiors to provide evidence of the law. He no longer pays income tax.

John Turner voluntarily resigned from the IRS when he spent over 3 months trying to prove to a citizen that a law existed. He could not find one. He no longer pays income tax.

Sherry Jackson also resigned from the IRS when she entered a $50,000 contest to prove the income tax law. She could not find the law. Nobody won the $50,000. She no longer pays income tax, and joined the We The People Foundation (the group that organized the contest)

Time and again, individual income tax has been deemed unconstitutional.

“The constitution is just a ******* piece of paper.” – George Bush, Nov 2005

“We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans.” – Bill Clinton, March 1993
“I have unwittingly ruined my government…We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled governments in the civilized world – no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by… a vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men. Some of the biggest men in the United States… know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” Woodrow Wilson, 1916. 3 years after signing the Federal Reserve Act
Look it up people…

Or just watch the movie.

Well heres what you do you tell us exactly how to get out of it and post it dont just quote a movie that you think no one saw. I saw it and i honestly think that the government has way too much power, who cares if its not legal? They can put you in jail, unless you know something that everyone else doesnt.

I did post the name of the movie somewhere in here (maybe not this thread). I'm sure you're reffering to Aaron Russo's - America, Freedom to Fascism?

If you don't care that the gov't is breaking the law, why care if they have too much power?

Awesome. I would like to resign from the IRS and privatize my Income.
 
We have constitutional amendment allowing income tax. It was properly ratified. You have little basis for your argument. You can say it sucks, but income tax is most definitely legal.

reading case law, there was most certainly a time AFTER passage of the 16th where SCOTUS continued to disagree with your views.

This is not correct. We have a Constitution which authorizes income tax.

The Sixteenth Amendment's purpose was not to "allow" income tax (As it already existed) it's purpose was to authorize income taxes to be levied without apportionment between the states with regard to population.

There was also a time when SCOTUS argued that segregation was okay. However, they overturned that argument later. Considering that the Supreme Court has had decades to overturn income taxes, and I still have to file my taxes in April, the court clearly thinks Income Tax is perfectly legal.

Correct. More importantly, the 16th let FDR dramatically increase government budgets and spending.
 
The 16th amendment did not grant the government any new power of taxation and The supreme coured rule in the 1800's that income tax was unconstitutional and it was eliminated.
