Income taxes and the federal reserve are UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Actually, the IRS does have a legal purpose. It's purpose is to lawfully collect taxes on federal receipts (privileged activity such as government employees, contractors, etc.).

Think, tax on federal income. How many of us in the private sector are participating in any federal activity or have federal receipts of any type? (it's a trick question, hint: "private sector")

Whether the 16th was ratified or not is a moot point. The 16th amendment has been well established by case law to be nothing more than an amendment to plug a loophole in the tax code that allowed robber barons to lease government land without paying a tax on the profits from its use.

Additionally, from 1913 until 1943 less than 8% of Americans paid any income taxes. Why? Because only approximately 8% of the population incurred taxable liabilities from federal activity/receipts. What happened in 1943 you ask? Something called the Victory Tax which was a voluntary payroll deduction to help the war effort (War Bonds purchased through payroll). This payroll deduction has morphed over the decades into a voluntary payroll tax.

In order to correct this deceptive error Americans need to set their records straight by pointing out to the IRS that no federal receipts and/or no participation in any federal activity occurred. The IRS will send back all witholdings for the specific year. There's a book, cracking the Code, and a website that posts treasury checks, returned to individuals, well into the millions (lost horizons).
