  • This makes no fucking sense, Its either you are forced or not, to pay tax.

    These are just organized criminal that pay goons {POLICE} to come & throw you in jail under threat. This just like the abolishing of gold & silver in the early 1900's under the threat of ten years imprisonment. I say bring it on. IF WE ALL SAY STOP PAYING, OR EVEN 50% OF US STOP PAYING! THE SYSTEM WILL COLLAPSE FASTER.

  • I agree with Harry Reid! Robbing a bank is voluntary, I only go to jail if I do. What's the big deal?

  • Congress was is legit, but Federal Government is a Scam on Humanity that the Illuminati started on Humanity to kill us all. The Devil really really hates Humans from day one.

  • Yea, when you don't pay your taxes, the govt swat team shows up to imprison or murder you if you protest ...I would like a full audit of all in office to see how their wealth has increased since they have come into office!

  • Federal Reserve Banks are the Federal Reserve Government. And this is running the Country and the World with there ONE WORLD ORDER HITLER'S SYSTEM.

  • The real Law he is saying, you pay your tax's when your Boss take off your check your tax's. When your in the store's, you pay your tax's, its all automatic, but if the Federal Government trying to make you pay any tax's on top of this, then its fake, then there is no law on are books that make us comply with that. Illegal

  • @lindasayshello1

    Title 26, Section 1 imposes the Federal Income Tax.

  • Amendment 16 says otherwise.

  • @FixCongress There passing illegal laws every day on us, against the People and against Humanity. What date is on that amendment.

  • Harry Reid is a SOCIOPATH.

  • Oh it's voluntary... gee why didn't someone tell me, look's like I'm that much richer this year... Harry Reid you scumbag.

  • When will the people of Nevada realize that Harry is scamming them so he can stay on the Washington gravy train. The SEIU helped secure his position by rigging the voting machines.

  • Oh.. I get it...... We're forced to volunteer right ? Lol

  • 7806 is talking about construction of titles under miscellaneous provisions of the IRC. And 6331 and 7608 are clear in their wording.

  • @MsLawman7

    Exactly, so whatever the page title or description says means nothing and the revenue enforcement officers can collect on any taxes in Title 26, not just liquor, tobacco, and firearms.

  • @RetSquid Lucas v. Earl, 281 U.S. 111 (1930) Unpublished! This court ruling heads nothing in justia, however is mentioned in other court rulings but by itself it is not. It is unpublished and has been used for reference only!

  • @MsLawman7

    WOW, this ruling is used as precedence by the Supreme Court itself!! If other courts use it then it has to be published...besides the fact that it obviously was, as it was a Suprmeme Court case! Has there ever been a SCOTUS case that was unpublished? EVER?

  • I am a paralegal, I have access to court rulings! And the court rulings you have posted are unpublished!

  • @MsLawman7

    "I am a paralegal,"

    Really? You should be fired on the spot for not looking up the cases and not knowing they ARE from the Supreme Court.

  • @MsLawman7

    I already gave you exact citations and web links to those cases, you are now posting outright lies or you can't do a basic web search.

  • what a fucking idiot

  • @MsLawman7

    You didn't even try to look up any of these case I posted, did you? Lukas v Earl can be found with a simple Google search..it brings up pages of places to find this 'unpublished' Supreme Court ruling. Who has EVER even HEARD of a Supreme court ruling that was 'unpublished'??? That would negate the entire purpose of the Supreme Court's existence!!

  • @MsLawman7

    You might want to read Section 7608 (b)...

  • Ok lets do, but to correct you, a tax enforcer is different from a protestor. So which part of the defacto, bankrupt, incorporated government do you work for??

  • @MsLawman7

    Just because I prove you wrong and/or a liar, I'm part of the Governemnt?

  • @RetSquid I have clearly never called you a liar out of respect but merely corrected you. I am NOT wrong! But it is YOU that is still getting the facts wrong...it is YOU who have posted un-truths not I...I clearly understand how it all fits together, and I have proved it with all I have written. And yes, your language is that of the defacto, incorporated, bankrupt UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT!

  • @MsLawman7

    Nice try, but you might want to point out ANY lie I have posted.

    Also those are they only two choices available, you are A) wrong or B) a liar.

    You claims don't match with the objective reality and the law itself, not to mention caselaw...you know, the ones you couldn't find and I had to link them for your? Did you ever get around to reading those 'unpublished' cases? Or even looking at all the other case that used those as a reference and precedent?

  • 1 OF 4 So lets talk about something else shall we?? What about the enforcement powers of the Internal Revenue Service??? Has any one seen the all out raids and the confiscation of a person’s property to settle an alleged tax debt? It gets almost world wide free media. Where you see ATF carrying a persons belongings away, and the news correspondence hammering away at how awful the situation is and ranting about paying a fair share of

  • @MsLawman7

    "So lets talk about something else shall we??"

    Sure we can do that :)

    Arguing with tax protesters is like playing “whack-a-mole.” As soon as you have slammed down one crazy argument, another one pops its head up.

  • @RetSquid so what are you saying? i've actually read the voluntary compliance section

    it clearly says you can CHOOSE to submit and have your income shaved

    remember, no contract is valid under THREAT, DURESS, OR COERCION.

    So we have established that the IRS is using FORCE to ENFORCE their code 'law'.

    And you stand firmly behind that huh? You sound like a complete dumbass.

  • @darthcom1

    LOL!!! Point out that 'voluntary' section, I want to read it too....

  • 2 OF 4 taxes, and not really siteing any law that requires a person to do so. I mean come on…I have…so I questioned where does the IRS authority came from to do this? AND FOUND IT. It is found in IRC 7608(a)Enforcement of E and other laws pertaining to liquor, tobacco, and firearms (QUOTE). Now doesn’t this beat all? My question is… does the average citizen deal in liquor, tobacco, and firearms?? Not the ones I have seen. Doesn’t any one

  • @MsLawman7

    Actually, it comes from Section 6331, and it has nothing to do with "liquor, tobacco, and firearms".

  • @RetSquid Code section 6331 Levy and distraint. (a) Authority of Secretary heading at the top of the page "Collection". Says, "if any person liable to pay any tax--has to do with collection, not enforcement. 7608 "Authority of internal revenue enforcement officers (a) Enforcement of subtitle "E" and other laws pertaining to liquor, tobacco, and firearms. (b) Enforcement of laws relating to internal revenue other than subtitle "E" for criminal investigator of Intelligence division.

  • @MsLawman7

    Are you saying that "collecting" the tax is different from "enforcing" the tax?

    Section 7806 "(b) Arrangement and classification- No inference, implication, or presumption of legislative construction shall be drawn or made by reason of the location or grouping of any particular section or provision or portion of this title..."

  • 3 OF 4 question things like this any more? Doesn’t it seem like a private person’s stuff is not in the jurisdiction of the said code? I mean if the ATF is the enforcement hand of the IRS, and the enforcement powers specifically state under (a) the enforcement of subtitle E and other laws pertaining to liquor, tobacco, and firearms were in the world does a person’s personal property qualify as any of the requirements in 7608(a)???? Is any one following

  • 4 OF 4 me? Shouldn’t everyone be asking this question? We have a lot of citizens out there, employed in the service of the IRS who should be asking a lot of questions. But it is my understanding that they are only taught enforcement. Most if not all whether they are an administrative agent or an enforcement agent, or just plain administrative, none have ever opened an INTERNAL REVENUE CODE BOOK!

  • I don't have stock, do you have stock? And speaking for most people I know personally, they don't have stock. What does having or not having stock have to do with the law? You sited a court ruling where indeed that person charged had a duty to report the gain and profit on stock, and under reported it. The cases that are unpublished hold NO legal standing in court. You take those unpublished cases to court and see where it gets you!

  • @MsLawman7

    "What does having or not having stock have to do with the law"

    Don't ask me it's YOUR argument!!

  • 1 of 3 Helvering- This court ruling is talking specifically about a loss of gross income from purported sale of shares of National city bank stock.  This person has gain or profit that had to be reported.! So to clarify and correct your statement this court ruling is about gain, or profit on stocks. The average citizen does not have gain, or profit, because they cannot afford stock

  • @MsLawman7

    "The average citizen does not have gain, or profit, because they cannot afford stock"

    Obviously that is your opinion, but not the law.

  • 2 of 3 HELVERING V. MITCHELL, 303 U. S. 391 (1938)

    In assessing income taxes, the Government relies primarily upon the disclosure by the taxpayer of the relevant facts. This disclosure it requires him to make in his annual return.

  • 1 of 6 Retsquid--a corporation can still make income-or gain from a persons labor..however that persons labor accumulates as a separate specialized type of property and a person is paid a wage not gain-nor income for that labor. You are talking about two different things here.

  • @MsLawman7 Notice here they do NOT call the wage income, but a specialized type of property. Property that cannot be taxed as income unless you voluntarily sign a W-4 implying income.

  • @MsLawman7

    Sorry, but that case is about bankruptcy law, that income was already taxed. They are talking about a tax REFUND being property that is under the control of the bankruptcy trustee.

  • @MsLawman7

    No, they are taling about an income tax return. Your income is taxable if you file a W-4 or not. That only determines how much is withheld by your employer.

  • @MsLawman7

    No, you are paid wages and those wages are a gain and are taxable.

  • @MsLawman7

    The word “voluntary,” as used in Flora and in IRS publications,

    refers to our system of allowing taxpayers to determine the correct amount of

    tax and complete the appropriate returns, rather than have the government

    determine tax for them. The requirement to file an income tax return is not

    voluntary and is clearly set forth in Internal Revenue Code §§ 6011(a),

    6012(a), et seq., and 6072(a). See also Treas. Reg. § 1.6011-1(a).

  • @RetSquid Your interpretation of voluntary compliance is that of the defacto government and IRS publications. Voluntary compliance is constitutionally exactly what I posted. And I also took the liberty to post your court ruling accurately

    FLORA V. UNITED STATES, 362 U. S. 145 (1960)

    the w-4 title withholding agreement under subtitle C not subtitle A income tax but a withholding ,under agreement by the employee and the employer any which can cancel not at all agree , no tax until access is due no statue in law to file income tax

  • @massvocals1

    Everything in Title 26 IS positive law, the title itself does not need to be. Income is defined in Title 26 Section 61 and Common Law/case law as 'compensation' which is wages/salary. Title 26, Section 6012 says who has to file, Section 6151 says when to file.

  • @RetSquid YOu want 6012 is where subtitle C or A ??? section 6151 is where subtitle C or A by the way its my believe and acts that paying tax for income of earn by labor is nothing more then being a slave labor earning are an exchange fuck the code willing to died for what i do how about YOU tell the IRS go fuck themselves for me OK

  • @massvocals1

    LOL!! You can see where the section is, but it does not matter, it is stil the law. If you just don't like the law, say so, you don't have to lie about it. Your 'believe' has no effect on the law. How about you learn some punctuation so people can understand what you are trying to communicate?

  • Classic liberal circle. I bet Reid still plays on the merry go round.

  • It still amazes me that someone that stupid still manages to walk upright.

  • In the same sentence he says " You don't go to jail...some people go to jail...the fact is our system is voluntary.".

  • what a load of BULLSHIT

  • Maybe its just Harry that doesn't have to pay !!!

  • If you don't pay taxes they will take it out of your bank account, they will take it out of your check. THEY WILL GO TO JAIL IF YOU DO NOT PAY TAXES .

  • Guy wont even bring to the floor a vote on the latest bill today...and the Republicans are obstructionist...LOLOLOLOLOLOL­......Harry Reid wake up....

  • I've been studying politics for a while, and I've always viewed that being in the government is NOT a career. If any politician thinks that they have a CAREER in government, they should leave immediately. Being a politician is a SERVICE to the American people, and when you are SERVING, you will do nothing to compromise who you are serving, this means

    to have a willingness to compromise and to always tell the truth.

    I am sickened by self serving politicians our Founders never envisioned this

  • what the hell is he talking about?

  • I don't volunteer to pay taxes, they take them from me, and say "if you dont pay theses taxes we will come to you'r home and steal you'r valubles"

  • Taxes are voluntary all right...a voluntary ticket to freaking FINES OR WORSE!

  • Speechless!

  • An absolute idiot, is Harry Reid

  • At :57 seconds he says "our system of taxation is voluntary" and at 1:02 he says "oh of course you have to pay your taxes". Another politician that's as bright as his own b-hole, just saying whatever words he thinks will move him out of an issue without answering it.

  • The system that you protect will not protect you from it when if ever you decide you no longer want to pay for it's protection.

  • i would wipe my ass on this guys face.

  • He should not refer to U.S. citizens as "Tax Payers" since federal tax code says those people MUST pay taxes. Object vigorously to ever being labelled a Tax Payer, because if you do, then you must pay taxes. If you read the tax code and substitute Tax Payer with, say, Rodeo Clown for instance... How much of it applies to you? I.e., don't be called a Tax Payer. Refuse to the Tax Payer label - at ALL TIMES. Join the movement to Audit and End the Fed.

  • @randytate

    Anyone subect to the income tax laws are 'taxpayers', being called a 'taxpayer' does nothing to your obligation to pay or not to pay income tax.

  • You don't have to be very smart to be a politician, just a good bullshitter. There are 2 ways to make an income, 1) earn it, 2) steal it. Politicians fit in #2. You have to have real smarts to earn it in a free market.

  • Fuck Harry. "i don't like the way you phrased it." The accuracy of facts and your opinion, Harry, are two very very different things.

  • @craigslistflow

    All they have to do is tax the air like they tax 'income'. Base it on voluntary conpliance. They don't because it would the the "bridge to far".

  • no wonder US has problems when you dont wont to pay tax. you want everything but you dont wont to pay for it. here in norway we pay 25 to 50% in incometax depending how much you earn. our vat is 25% on everything and i think thats okey. the only thing i think we pay to much for is tax on cars, for example a new mustang is abaut 200.000$

  • @TheTraveller83 What some European citizens don't realize is, until 1913, the U.S. did not pay income tax. We where the wealthiest nation on Earth, could pay for health care, save and retire! The government didn't run our lives. Once the Banks got a European style central bank installed, all that changed. Now the world is on the verge of financial collapse because of this type of system. Honestly though, this video was just showing how stupid it is to call our income "voluntary", that's all.

  • @randytate

    We also paid income tax in the 1860's.

  • @RetSquid True, but your resources are nationalized. The taxes you pay are setup to redistribute the resulting wealth. I'm sure if you truly audited the money trail, you'd find a rather large proportion going to Banks and not to social programs. It's socially acceptable in Norway to use terms like "redistribute wealth" but not in the U.S. Because of our past, we know there's a better way. It's the reason the U.S. Dollar is the reserve currency of the world.

  • @RetSquid There's just too much ground to cover in this text format to share why life for everyone would be better if we weren't all working to pay bankers interest payments on the debt they create out of thin air. The actual financial collapse of the world is happening faster than this dialogue. But I'm glad people from around the world add their thoughts too.  It's pretty cool to hear other perspectives.

  • @randytate

    And that has nothing to do with the argument of income tax being voluntary or mandatory.

  • @RetSquid Actually you're wrong and yes, it does. It's a critical legal distinction ( or a "term of art") being a citizen or a tax payer. Nowhere in the tax code will you find "citizen", just "tax payer". Since the constitution does not allow labor to be taxed, the IRS tax code could not be written to be levied against citizens - hence the term of art Tax Payer is used exclusively. Things like making alcohol, selling products, winning money legally make you a tax payer, not income from labor.

  • @randytate

    No, the term 'taxpayer' does not make you one. Income taxes are levied on an 'indivudual'. It does not matter if you are a Citizen or not, all residents have to pay and Citizens have to pay on income from anywhere. Also your income from labor (i.e. compensation') is the very first thing listed when defining income. There is nothing in the Constitution to support your claims.

  • @RetSquid Support your claims: cite the Tax Code using the term "individual" to describe a person (not a filing status) and I'll consider your claim. In the legal realm, words take on certain meanings called "terms of art" and in this case, tax code the term Tax Payer is just that. Your are wrong, the Constitution has volumes to say about property rights. Your labor *is* your private property. When it's sold, it is not legally considered "income" but rather "compensation" which is not taxable.

  • @randytate

    Sorry, Title 26 Section 63 specifically defines income as "compensation for services".

    Why don't you cite the Code where it says an 'individual' is NOT a person? Because in ALL the Titles of the United States Code "the words “person”, “human being”, “child”, and “individual”, shall include every infant member of the species homo sapiens", unless you want to argue that only children, not adults, are individuals or persons....

  • @RetSquid I'm sorry, we're way off track and I think it's my fault, poor grammar I guess. I'm not saying individuals aren't people. I mean that the *only* people responsible for paying taxes are Tax Payers. There are lots of things we do that make us Tax Payers... make and sell alcohol, win Lotto, liquid a 401k etc. etc. And I know compensation for services is "income" but that doesn't make it taxable and the IRS Tax Code agrees. Labor is your private property and is invaluable, i.e., no profit.

  • @randytate

    No, the only people responsible for paying income tax is/are EVERY individual who has income over the deduction amount. The IRS code says that compensation for services IS taxable income, it is the very first thing listed under the definition of 'taxable income'.

    "Labor is... invaluable" until you sell it and get compensated for it, then it has a value.

  • @RetSquid You're right, it says. that. "Gross Income" is "Compensation for Services", next section says "Taxable Income" means Gross Income minus deductions. You got me. Let me research it and get back to you.

  • @RetSquid I have researched the U.S. CODE and find your position to be correct.

    TITLE 26 > Subtitle A > CHAPTER 1 > Subchapter A > PART I > § 1. Tax imposed: - This basically includes everyone, so yes tax is imposed.

    TITLE 26 > Subtitle A > CHAPTER 1 > Subchapter B > PART I > § 61. Gross income defined: - This basically defines all income as taxable

    I still have some questions out for "experts", if I hear back differently then I"ll chime in. Otherwise, I concur with you at this point.

  • @randytate

    "I still have some questions out for "experts", "

    I'm no expert, but I've been looking at the legality of it for a while.

  • @RetSquid I haven't researched it too much but I strongly believe the IRS must go. I don't mind paying taxes on my purchases or profits but my labor is my private property and at best, is traded for money. It is still possible the tax code runs afoul with other areas of the constitution. E.g., a Form 1040 could be considered a violation of your 5th amendment rights - since you *must* submit it and it could be used as incriminating evidence against you. A bit paradoxical if you ask me.

  • @randytate

    “The statutory requirement to file an income tax return does not violate a taxpayer’s right against self-incrimination.”

    United States v. MacLeod, 436 F.2d 947, 951 (8th Cir. 1971), cert. den. 402 U.S. 907 (1971).

  • @RetSquid That's a lower court decision. The IRS uses all sorts of court cases and it is fair to reference them, I suppose, but it doesn't become "law" unless the SCOTUS renders an opinion. In this case, they Denied Certiorari so the SCOTUS refused to hear arguments. I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying this court 's decision does not make the matter conclusive or the law. Though arguably remote, a different legal strategy could find its way to the SCOTUS and find the 1040 a violation.

  • @randytate

    If SCOTUS refused to hear it, whatever the lower court says IS the law and conclusive, but SCOTUS also said the same thing in Sullivan v. United States, 274 U.S. 259, 263-264 (1927).

  • @RetSquid Well, technically it is the LAW for that person in that state for that year. Remember the SCOTUS refused to hear all sorts of 2nd Amendment cases for years. Then Heller vs. DC hits the court, followed shortly thereafter by McDonald vs. Chicago and gun laws fall across the nation. This point is quite outside the discussion but the IRS loves to parade lower court cases in front of the public to discourage the redress of grievances but certain legal arguments could see the SCOTUS.

  • @randytate

    [Sullivan v. United States, 274 U.S. 259, 263-264 (1927)] is a SCOTUS case that says the same thing as the lower court, which is why they refused to hear it. Until they overturn it (highly unlikely) that is the law and every State has to abide by it.

  • @RetSquid The State has Powers and the People have Rights. I don't consider it so much a law for states to abide by as much as a Power extended to the Federal Government.The SCOTUS decided to that the Power to perpetrate exortion against the People was more important than the Rights of the people ...All in the name of profitting the share holders of the Federal Reserve Bank. I.e., we are owned...slaves to an Unconstitutional monetary system of debt and the IRS are thugs running the racketeering.

  • @randytate

    Stop whining and get over it. This has nothing to do with the FED, the States authorized the Federal government to do what it does, don't like it? Talk to the Founders.

  • @RetSquid Stop trying the stifle dissent. The Fed is lucky Americans are only whining at this point. And it has everything in the world to do with the Fed. What good would it be to have the Fed charge interest if they didn't have the IRS to take all the blame for sticking guns in our faces to rob us to pay for it? People are waking up to the scam and Ron Paul is just the beginning.

  • @randytate

    So your whining about income tax is actually dissent about the Fed? The IRS and the Fed have nothing to do with each other, BOTH of them PAY/recieve money TO/for the Federal Government.

  • @RetSquid That's a naive assessment to say the least. What would the Fed do without the IRS?...hold a Jerry Lewis telethon every year to have people donate interest payments? They were both implemented at the same time because the Fed needed muscle to collect the money. But unlike tax code, this is a subjective topic. It only matters if The People *think* they're related. One can cite whatever law you want, the circumstantial evidence suggests what it suggests and people are waking up to it.

  • @randytate

    HUH? The FED gets nothing from the IRS, the FED PAID the Treasury $79 Billion last year.

  • @RetSquid Sure, the Fed pays the Treasury 90% of their profits on interest from borrowed money. So in the most tortured and distorted interpretation of a few select line items, you'll see the Fed paying the Treasury Dept. This is why Ron Paul asked the Treasury to forgo their portion in the last Debt Ceiling debates... as it would have solved the problem. Unfortunately, we're on the hook for the principal of the loans plus interest, for money loaned from nothing. Meaning the Fed is a parasite.

  • @randytate

    Do you know how government bonds work?

  • @RetSquid Yes, I do.

  • @RetSquid The bonds I own say "Public Debt Series" right on them. When the Fed does this, it adds to the currency supply. Sadly, the Fed uses money it issued (exercising the power to issue currency delegated to it from Congress in the Fed Act in1913). If you or I did that, we'd be arrested for counterfeiting. The government must now use the IRS to tax us to pay the interest on those bonds. Now we can't afford to maintain payments on the interest, much less the principal. Bye bye middle class.

  • @randytate

    "most tortured and distorted interpretation"

    Only for people like you, it's pretty straight forward for the rest of us.

  • @RetSquid I apologize. Let me clarify. Those words were not meant to connote complexity or perplexity. The scam is rather simple, even to someone like me. Any implied or express notion of profit resulting from a government's interaction with a central bank (like the Federal Reserve Bank) is to push the concept of *questionable accounting practices* beyond its most ludicrous extreme. The Fed is indisputably a parasite on The People and the IRS is the threat of violence persisting it.

  • @randytate

    All the people I listed have to pay income tax on ANY income from ANY source, unless specifically exempted by the law. The lable of 'taxpayer' has nothing to do with being liable for an tax, the label comes after the liability.

  • @randytate

    Title 26, Section 1 describes a person as an individual. Who else can be married, a head of household, widowed, single, etc.?

  • forcing people to pay taxes to support welfare .. really ... all money ;from the government is welfare of some sort or another .. firemen are on welfare cause they get a government check ... judges are on welfare cause they get a government check ... blah blah blah .. now this idiot .. senator .. can lie and smile about it ... what a con artist ... they don't get any more evil then that .. he is playing around with semantics and demagoguery .. playing the political flute of bullshit.

  • This country doesn't give a shit about law. If you don't pay your income taxes they will put you in a rape room.

  • if their is no repercussions to any rules or law would anybody obey it? answer is hell NO.

  • is this guy an idiot or he's an idiot?

    You can't even figure out how to spell my name...BTW if you don't reply to me, I don't see it.

  • @RetSquid Who gives a shit about your name and quit trying to evade the QUESTION. Your wrong my friend, you just don't understand commerce law under presumptive admiralty jurisdiction. If you did understand this you wouldn't have to look like such a worm. Quit squirming...

  • @PatrickHenry2K

    If you don't hit 'reply' then I don't get notified about your most recent lie/delusion. So your 'waiting' is BS.

    Income tax law is not commerce and is not covered by the UCC or Maritime law.

    Title 26 Section 1 imposes the income tax on 'every individual', not on a 'person'. So ANY argument based on defining a "person" is moot. And wages (compensation for services) are taxable income, as defined in Section 61 (I believe).

  • @RetSquid Here is your lie---> INDIVIDUAL - 'As a noun, denotes a single PERSON as distinguished from a group or class, and also, very commonly, a private or natural person as distinguished from a partnership, corporation, or association; but it is said in this restricted signification is not necessarily inherent in the word, that it may, in proper cases, include ARTIFICIAL PERSONS. See also PERSON' ~ Right out of Blacks's 6th edition sitting right in front of me.

  • @PatrickHenry2K

    Go read Title 1 Section 8

    "that it may, in proper cases, include ARTIFICIAL PERSONS." Which obviously means that it must include natural persons. Again, your 'person' argument never wins in court.
