I was first made aware of the illegality of income taxes from a crazy old guy on my mission, who had actually gone so far as to revoke his own citizenship and forfeit his social security number so the government couldn't track what he did.
I think a very small percentage of Americans are aware of this, and it is in my opinion, one of the great but necessary scams of our time. However, we are all sheep and although I understand the scam of it, I continue to pay out of fear of punishment more than anything. I would like to see someone challenge this amendment today but refusing to pay taxes and actually argue their point successfully and win. Until that happens, we all will continue to pay and will continue to abide by a system that, although necessary, doesn't correspond with what the constitution says.
Obviously when they wrote the constitution it wasn't perfect and they didn't foresee all the stupid freedom of speech bullcrap and other things that people push today. Others have challenged those aspects of the constituion to their benefit in recent years, so its time for someone to challenge the income taxe portions
Thats my challenge to you wolfie. You talk a big game but back it up by not paying your taxes this year
