The question is not are Taxes legal? The question is; What happens to people who don't pay taxes and then get caught?

We all know the answer to that.

Their is no tax code mandating federal income tax period. The only reason people pay it is fear and our previous generations apathy, ignorance, and blind patriotism to a central government. Which spits in the face of why we had our first revolution in the first place. So now get ready for a second.

Yes, they are legal. There is wording in the constitution that gives government the right to tax as they see fit...the founding fathers left it vague because they couldn't possibly anticipate all the needs of the government, but they didn't intend on the country turning socialist.
 Quoting: BRIEF


People who seriously believe that there are no laws requiring you to pay taxes in the US are stupid. Or crazy. Or both.

These crazy libertarians/survivalists believe that they shouldn't pay taxes but then they are quite happy to use all the infrastructures built and managed by the state. Even if they live self-sufficiently, they still use roads and shits like that...

Found this:

Amendment 16 - Status of Income Tax Clarified

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.

Notes for this amendment:
Proposed 7/12/1909
Ratified 2/3/1913
Article 1, Section 9

If it was possible to roll back the Constitution to the original text before the 1900 it would fix a lot of things.

I'm just a small town, country boy. I don't have any fancy, big-city pedigrees or Universitah Diplomas. I rise with the sun, tend my crops, feed the livestock and turn in at dusk, maybe do some whittling or do some fiddling on the front porch swing with a cool glass of country time lemonade (contains no lemons).

So take my opinion for what it's worth.

Seems to me that Government requires money to provide services and pay it's workers. Since those services and workers work for us, it is only right that we pay them.

We do this in the form of Tax.

Now, the rich shouldn't have to pay more, unless they are consuming an unfair amount of services. IMO, they aren't. In fact, the poor consume the most services.

If there are six billion citizens, and each citizen paid exactly 300 dollars per year in Federal (Yes, parents would pay MORE for dependants, not less) well...what's the math...

1,800,000,000,000 per year Federal Budget?

Now if we cut out all the Emperial Nonsense and reel shit in, that should be plenty.

Plus, they can continue to charge sales tax on vice items and that alone would pay for universal medical care in an overhauled system.

Re: HELP!! Are taxes legal or NOT? Debate going on... What's the FINAL verdict?
The evidence demonstrating the unconstitutionality or misapplication of the income tax is voluminous. Please do your research before making ignorant comments.

Income taxes do not pay for services. See Devvy Kidd:
[link to www.devvy.com]

Income taxes are not contractual UNLESS you fill out and file an IRS form whereupon you dismiss your 5th amendment rights.

Evidence doubting the ratification of the 16th amendment is significant and substantial. See Bill Benson: [link to www.thelawthatneverwas.com]

Judicial support for the IRS doesn't imply constitutionality.

Many people have won court cases regarding non-filing: research Tom Cryer. Video: [link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

Several IRS agents have investigated the IRS code for specific requirements for US citizens to pay income taxes and realized there is none. When they reveal their findings or ask for clarification from superiors they are fired. See Sherry Jackson and Joe Bannister.

Please tell us how you can file income tax forms WITHOUT abandoning several of your constitutional rights - that, alone, should be a red flag that it's unconstitutional.

For a detailed analysis of the income tax: [link to www.larkenrose.com]

Or, watch his excellent detailed video: [link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

We have been heavily indoctrinated to believe many falsities about our society, our country and our laws. Yet, any belief without foundation is superstition. Become educated!

And that happens automatically when enough people realize that they are on the losing end, and that that they are unduly being taken advantage of.

It takes the mind of an anthropologist to consider trading off the mortgaged home and life in the US for a simple life in some forgotten but fertile corner of the world.

But if I were one of the wealthy of the US, that would be my most precious dream.
