why do you think that it’s legal, or is not legal, for the federal government to tax your income?

i’ve seen many posts on this forum lately in reference to an income tax revolt. well, if you will all chip in a lot of money…do you have it?…to pay an attorney to form a class action lawsuit and bring it all the way up to the u.s. supreme court and then argue it even more, you might have a lawsuit, but uncle sam will still tax you as you are fighting against these taxes, you can be certain of that.

because i have seen so many questions about the legality of the federal government taxing you and i, i wish to know which of you think that these taxes are in fact legal and which of you don’t think these taxes are legal, and why. in other words, although most of you are not judges and lawyers, if you are informed, how would you back up what you believe? please give sources, as i will give to you now.

here is a very interesting little (big, really, if you don’t believe that the federal government has the legal right to tax your income) article that shows why the 16th amendment was never legally ratified:

http://www.givemeliberty.org/features/ta…

if you disagree with the premises presented in this article, then please tell me why.

now then, in my quest for The Truth, i also investigated answers itself to determine what the public felt, and i found this question, only one, that the asker did not bother to choose best answer for, but here goes:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…

one of the folks that answered (i myself don’t think that the best answer award went to the best answer, i think that the best answer was ignored–it is below the award, which was an answers community vote, too bad) included a link to a discussion about the frivolity of lawsuits entered by individuals that refused to pay federal income tax, which, if you do not believe that the 16th amendment to the constitution of the united states is valid, and if you think that the laws are not ours, but are the government’s, is an interesting read:

http://www.irs.gov/taxpros/article/0,,id…

i also wish to add that the above link refers to INDIVIDUALS that brought suit, but not a large group of american citizens who all believe that the 16th amendment was not legally ratified and that therefore, no federal income tax should be levied against us. (which reminds me, i want to state that we ourselves would be able to bring this country out of the depression that seems to be coming, immediately, if the comptrollers and accountants and bookkeepers of your employers did not HAVE TO take federal taxes out of your paycheck, since you’d sure have more buying power, enough, too, to make that mortgage payment if you are facing foreclosure)!!! (and, if those facing foreclosure could make those payments on time, they could get out of foreclosure and then the real estate market would get back to its historical cycle, which is this: 2 years a seller’s market, followed by 5 years of a buyer’s market, over and over and over again, so that income and savings can then buy those houses that got to be too highly priced in the 2 years of the seller’s market… and i KNOW, because for 26 years i have owned quite a reputable real estate company and been licensed in IL, and i am very happy that i refused to participate in those risky loans that put so many people in deep, deep doo-doo as is proved today–i.e., i KNOW better by long experience and ethics that i disagree with taking that almighty commission buck by placing my folks into an impossible situation which they would then blame on me). (and take this as a given: i am published for writing of the real estate industry all about the real estate industry, so know that all of it, from unimproved land up to the sale of improved, built on, pieces, and all of those workers and materials that make it improved represents almost a THIRD of our GDP, so, it is damned important to our economy and it is important that those facing foreclosure pay their mortgages!!!).

so then, i ask you, mr. or ms. john or jane q. public, is uncle sam illegally taking money from your income that you feel you could use wiser, in order to fund ITS programs, and to fund ITS very, very high employment rate, even today, when almost every other employment sector in the united states is telling us that they are laying off even more and more thousands of workers every day?

and now i will present to you only the first of 12 youtube discussions by red beckman about the law that “never was,” that show us how WE make the laws, because this is the united states of america, a republic, not a democracy, and not a fascist or communist state:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grjmnkj7L…

which, if you say that you will revolt against the federal income tax, i ask you to really study up on what red buckman says in ALL 12 of these clips, because, you will need to tell your class action attorney to use these arguments to fight for you, and for me (because i, for one, want to retain more of my income–i really work HAR
EDIT:

as is my habit, i will not give you a thumbs down if you happen to have different thoughts than i do, of COURSE not! but if you give me a one liner or can’t back up your argument, i will give you thumbs down, but i will wait and let others that post answers to this question give them a TD themselves before i myself do it.

whatever information you wish to include about yourself will interest me (age, education, geographical location, job, and so on).

i’m making it 7 days, not 3, for you to answer so that you can delve into the articles/clips that are provided…
BROWN950…: you should look at the first of the 12 clips that are all at the link i gave on youtube for the definition of common law. then i think you will think a little differently. i hope you edit and add to your answer after you watch that.
EDIT: Dr. Science’s links DO open, just clear your cache first. the first one is more interesting to me than the second one.

well, if we want to change the tax laws via political activism, what route would you choose?

i am an independent voter, are you? the reason i am (other than i don’t want to vote a straight ticket) is because i do not want the parties to know WHO i plan to vote for.

why don’t more of you begin to look at the 3rd party candidates? there are the libertarian party, the constitutionalist party, and more. there is even a communist party.

i think that the “apportionment” clause of the tax laws make it invalid, not only that it was not fully ratified as required by law. but put the two together and then ask ron paul. btw: if you wanted to categorize me with any party, you may as well call me a “paulista.” that man knows about money!
EDIT: it does not make sense to quote the internal revenue code as it applies to this question because you’d have to first have constitutional law before you go to any code, for anything, in this country.

Which State Income Tax do I include in Schedule A, current tax year or previous?

I did not deduct State Income tax paid in my itemized deduction in 2006. I used Turbo Tax but did not find anywhere to input State Tax. I did not have any withholdings in my withdrawal from 401K for the state and the form only have field for Withholdings. I think I have overpaid and would like to include this correction with the other errors I made in Amended return form 1040X

Have you heard about Tom Cryer’s acquittal on income tax evasion? Tom proved the tax had no legal grounds.

Tom Cryer, a Shreveport, LA, trial attorney who has refused to file
tax returns for years was recently acquitted of evasion and willful
failure to file charges filed against him by the federal government. At
the trial Tom told the jury that there is no law making him liable for
the income tax; that his fees, personally earned by his own labor, were
not “income” as defined by the Supreme Court; and that if any income was
derived from his labor any such income is exempt (and excluded by the
code and regulations) because they are derived from a non-taxable
activity, i.e., the exercise of a God-given fundamental right, our
Constitutionally protected right to earn a living by any lawful occupation.

Links can be provided by request. I just didn’t want a spam violation.
He won. There’s no arguing that.
and sorry but, 2007 trumps 2004.
PepsiSlime—having perused your answers list I see they are almost all regarding taxes of some sort….so you are almost certainly biased for some reason….what would that be?
Pep—It’s become obvious through research that your career and livelihood revolve around taxes and the payment thereof….it renders your advice biased at the very least….you may well be right in the end but because of your profession your motives will always be in question.

Will my tax return be considered income in my chapter 13?

We got a large tax return this year in early February. We are now in the process of filing chapter 13 and have to provide 6 months worth of income history. Will the trustee consider our 5,000 tax return as part of our income? I know that they will take future returns. We actually had to file an amendment and now have to pay 2,700 of that back anyway, so it was really only 2,300 in excess. Also, can I include this tax debt in my repayment plan?

The country of Marxland has the following income tax and social insurance system.?

Each citizen’s income is taxed at an average tax rate of 100%. A social insurance system then provides transfers to each citizen such that each citizen’s after-tax income is exactly equal. That is, each citizen gets (through a government transfer payment) an equal share of the income tax revenue.

What is the incentive for one individual citizen to work and earn income?

What will the total tax revenue in Marxland be?

What will be the after-tax income (including the transfer payment) for each citizen?

Do you think such a tax system that creates perfect equality will work?

IRS claiming income that does not belong to us. Help!?

IRS sent me a letter about a year ago about an underreported income that belonged to my former husband. We filed jointly during our marriage. This income was pertaining to tax year 2007. He denied ever working for those companies and I believe him. Now that we’re divorced I have no way of contacting him and when I do, he is very uncooperative. I filed for Innocent Spouse Relief and was denied because the lady said it is not a federal case, instead an identity theft case which would be civil. I told her I did everything I could to resolve it but I’m not getting anywhere because I’m no longer with that man, and the companies who are claiming those incomes are not responding to me. They’re telling me to have IRS call them (which I’ve already asked IRS to but they said they don’t do that, I have to settle it myself whichever way I can) or call my police department and file a police report. I tried calling the police dept. but they won’t let me file identity theft on another person. I tried calling my ex husband but he won’t budge :( I don’t know what to do! I’m stuck in this situation that I cannot control because I’m not him and we’re divorced. My Innocent Spouse Relief has been denied and I’ve been trying to call National Tax Advocate and they never answer phone calls and it says I cannot leave a voicemail because their mailbox is full. I filed a petition with tax court and I haven’t been notified of a trial date as of yet. I’ve called UCSD tax lawyer intern to get free representation and currently waiting for a call from them. Even if I did get my ex husband to file a police report, then what?! How do I get the court to believe that it’s not him and to free me from the liabilty? The companies who are claiming the income will not cooperate with me. They’re not returning my calls. I don’t know what to do! Any advise would help me a lot! Thanks!
That is exactly what happened. The company made a mistake in writing down the SS# but they will not talk to me because they could be thinking that I’m just some random person trying to get into someone’s information. I would go over there personally to see them but one of the companies is in Indiana! The other one is local here in San Bernardino, she sent me a corrected W-2 but I don’t know if she corrected it with IRS. Please help me!

My employer does not report income he receives for December for that tax year – is that legal?

Each year my employer does not deposit any income he receives in the month of December. He holds onto it at his office until January of the next year and then deposits it. Because he does not deposit the money until January, he does not report the December income on the previous year’s taxes. Is this legal or ethical? He is an attorney by the way. Because I have detailed knowledge of this, I am worried I could be held liable for some kind of tax fraud if the business were to ever be audited. Do I have any cause for concern?
