I have a question?
Under Article I section 9 of the Constitution it says "No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid" so how does the income tax get around this? Before you jump an say the 16th Amendment look at what the Supreme Court had to say about the 16TH Amendment.
"The Sixteenth Amendment.....does not extend the taxing power to new or excepted subjects....
Peck & Co. v. Lowe, 247 U.S. 165, at 172 (1918)
What this means is the taxing power congress had before the 16th Amendment remained the same after the 16th Amendment.
Do you not find it funny that the the income tax started right after the Private Fed started in 1913???
Besides income itself is not a tax.........the word income is the tool used to measure the amount of tax that is due from the activity or source that is being taxed. Does your wages or labor fall under one of these?

The IRS is the collection agency.

while I don't agree with the idea of an income tax, they have the law on their side
Commissioner v. Glenshaw Glass Co., 348 U.S. 426, 429-30 (1955) - Referring to the statute's words "income derived from any source whatever," the Supreme Court stated, "this language was used by Congress to exert in this field 'the full measure of its taxing power.'

Yep, the income tax is illegal. Yep, they'll toss you in the poke if you don't pay. We live in an oligarchy not a republic. Follow their rules, or find a legal way around them, or suffer the consequences. Freedom is not an absolute, but captivity is.
