  • SHOW US THE LAW!

  • He deserves to go to jail. You losers need to man up and pay your taxes.

  • @proferic There is no LAW. Just a TAX code which it not a Law. Do your research. God Bless

  • @OneCoolPr I did do my research. The Code was passed by Congress. It's the law.

  • @OneCoolPr

    The Internal Revenue Code of 1954 was passed by both houses of Congress as House Resolution 8300, and was signed by President Eisenhower on August 16, 1954, at about 9:45 a.m., becoming Public Law 83-591, 68A Stat. 3. The Internal Revenue Code (Title 26) is now known as the “Internal Revenue Code of 1986” as a result of changes made by Public Law 99-514, 100 Stat. 2085 (10/22/1986

  • Any word on Mr. Cryers Trial from Tue.1/11/11 ???

  • through fear and ignorance, the government keeps us its slaves..when will people ever wake up to reason...to deny people theyr rights, is to enslave them, regardless of what the law says... its ultimately the responsibility individual man and woman to defend and preserve theyr own rights... american law was meant to protect our rights, but when government fails to do that, or in this case, violates our rights, its our responsibility to take action...that is, if we want to be free

  • "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." - Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father.

  • The IRS is apparently investigating Cryer's tax liabilities for the years 2002 through 2007, and filed a petition to enforce an IRS administrative summons against Cryer. The district court ordered Cryer to comply with the summons, rejecting his claim of 5th Amendment privilege. United States v. Cryer, No. 5:09-cv-01144-TS-MLH (U.S.D.C. W.D. La. 6/16/2010).

  • Do any of you folks get the gut feeling that bosunbilly is an IRS Shill?

  • The IRS has been the main intimidating factor in America. The Founders of this nation would have abhorred a private corporation like the IRS to run roughshod over the people. In fact, they would have taken up arms against them from the outset.

  • @joe80dman "The Founders of this nation would have abhorred a private corporation like the IRS to run roughshod over the people" Oh wow...and what's the latest from Thomas Jefferson on this subject? John Adams? Ben Franklin? That's right - nothing! Because they're dead and dead people don't give a shit what you think.

  • Actualy theaddenume was never ratified, They just said it was and the sheep just followed along

  • @darrellmellissa Repeat after me: Congress has had the power to collect income tax, Congress has always had the power to collect income tax and Congress will always have the power to collect income tax. If your Kool-Aid swilling statement was remotely true (and it isn't) then please explain Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution. That's right - you can't.

  • @bosunbilly I suggest yopu go back and read it, Theres not a thing in there about income tax,, the wrd appropiations,for 2 years only, is there,, also congress prints the money not the fed bank.

  • @darrellmellissa First paragraph in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

  • @darrellmellissa It never fails to amaze me how anyone can be on the Internet (the largest research library in the world) and make ignorant statements like yours.

  • @darrellmellissa Repeat after me: Congress has had the power to collect income tax, Congress has always had the power to collect income tax and Congress will always have the power to collect income tax.

  • @bosunbilly Only if we comply. Everything comes down to COMPLIANCE!

  • @bosunbilly  Wrong Goverment worker boy.

  • @bosunbilly Actually you made a mistake. There is nothing in there about "income" tax. And nothing in there about the the IRS being Congress- it only talks about Congress having the power----no other entity.

  • @sickasso72 And make sure you tell the judge that when he drops the hammer on you for not paying your taxes.

  • "Every war has cannon fodder."

    And this is precisely how folks like Peter Hendrickson, Irwin Schiff, Bill Benson and other so-called de-tax gurus look at you.

    You're cannon fodder.

    If you end up in prison or getting taken to the cleaners, it's no big deal to them - you just didn't follow their instructions to the letter and it's your fault.

    They get to walk around scott free - that is, until the IRS catches on to their little scheme, just like they did Hendrickson.

  • @bosunbilly I see your on your side of the fence,

  • I don't want services from the government. Why should I be forced to pay for those that do?

  • no retsquid wages of the common worker in america is NOT taxable,read the laws. there is NO law saying the common worker has to pay taxes and never has been. some people do Federal workers,people who live in DC i cant remember them all but it is just a few people who have to pay taxes. what dont you get about there is now law that says you have to pay taxes.if everybody in merica has to sshow us the law from the law books period.

  • @bunker2k1

    TITLE 26 > Subtitle A > CHAPTER 1 > Subchapter A > PART I > § 1. Tax imposed

    There is hereby imposed on the taxable income of-

    (a) Married individuals filing joint returns and surviving spouses...Heads of households...Unmarried individuals...Married individuals filing separate returns....

    a tax determined in accordance with the following table:

  • retsquid is on every 90 percent of irs related videos on youtube bashing all of the people against the irs, he is here to make us look crazy, i wouldnt be suprised if the irs hired him!

  • dont be surprised , i know their behavior ive experience it enough , he is a disinfo agent

  • @matt41083

    Make you look crazy? Why hire someone? Most of you guys do a great job all by yourself!

  • Roidz17 is a liar.

  • "retsquid" and "fredandshell" are liers. Don't listen to them think for yourselves...

  • Don't listen to what RATsquid has to say. It is very obvious he's one of the 130,000 IRS PARASITES that are feeding on YOU every day. Google CRACKING THE CODE by Peter Hendrickson. Go to his site LOST HORIZONS and learn what the code REALLY says as apposed to what they want you to THINK it says

  • Would this be the same Peter Hendrickson who was just found guilty of ten counts failing to file?

    Yeah, I'd listen to a guy like that.

  • Pete Hendrickson Advocates filing! He also advocates claiming zero income.

    Followers have recovered 10.5 Million including SSI and everything. He lost a summary judgment last I heard a couple of years ago. That is what happens when you give the the federal courts sole discretionary power to interpret their own laws, you will almost always lose!. But he is still at it!

    losthorizon

    com

  • @owensaruba No, he's not.

    He was recently found guilty on ten counts of 26 USC 7206 - filing a false and fraudulent tax return.

    He's looking at about 5-30 years, depending on how the judge feels.

    Those followers of his had to pay back all that money they recovered because the IRS caught on to their little scam.

    Saying that Pete Hendrickson advocates filing is a lot like saying John Wayne Gacey advocates child safety.

  • Not surprising, it isn't the way to go. Every war has cannon fodder. 10.5 million will not be recovered by the IRS and state agencies. Now that they got what they wanted very few will have to pay it back with the exception of some of the larger returns and those that don't know how to handle IRS notices. It is funny how much of YOUR tax money was paid to shut this guy down. Don't forget to file on April 15th, taxpayer.

    I don't get the Gacey reference.

  • They already recovered it - all of it, with penalties and interest.

    You really aren't up on current events, are you?

    Of course you don't get the Gacey reference. You're too brain dead to look anything up which is why your information on Hendrickson and his little scam is hopelessly out of date.

  • "Every war has cannon fodder."

    And that's why you're too chickenshit to not file your taxes. You'd rather someone else get it in the neck while you talk a big game.

    I've seen your kind before. You secretly file while you tell everyone else they don't have to and hope someone's stupid enough to take your word and if they're successful, you take all the credit.

    If they aren't - well, they're cannon fodder.

  • "Don't forget to file on April 15th, taxpayer. "

    I always file my taxes. I get great refunds, too.

    And I'm not rotting in a prison or losing my house because the IRS put a lien on it to recover the taxes I didn't pay.

  • @bosunbilly : Well, just make sure you pack Mr. Glock, and Mr. Assault Rifle when they come knocking on your door. Wouldn't IRS agents be Trespassing on private property if they came to your door? Would they expect you to just cower, and remove yourself from your own dwelling? They'll always send their "expendables" to do their dirty work. Be brave! No one lives forever anyway.

  • @joe80dman "Wouldn't IRS agents be Trespassing on private property if they came to your door?" Wow...welcome to joe's alternate universe - where we only agree with the laws we like and IRS agents coming to your door on official business are trespassers.

  • @bosunbilly : Wrong, retard boy. NOBODY can enter onto private property unless they have the proper, legal documentation, or an invite from the property owner. This would be a Search warrant. Yes, many arrogant agents, who think scripted TV shows are instructional and real, become decapitated by righteous land owners. Yes, they die, and all because they wanted to be tough, and arrogant.

    Oh, don't worry! The media will air a bagpipe parade to patronize those dumb souls!

  • the IRS has won many times more cases than they have lost.. it is mostly due to the knowledge of the person being put on trial.. if they think they can bulldoze u they will ..very few lawyers will defend u even if they take ur case ..they know their career in law would be over

  • The rich use the poor against the middle class it's as old as the wheel

  • and you are no conservative for which youd know there is no law

  • You can't read can you? Title 26 is proof that there 'is a law'.

  • biggest lie is to tell americans it's their duty to pay income tax

  • why?  It's the law.

  • its imposed not self imposed I'm a free man I do not owe another human being a dam thing!

  • If enough people hear of this There would be such a CHANGE! in US govt' hahahaha

  • IRS reports as from last year revenues are down 34% hmmm sounds like a tax revolt hahaha

  • And maybe people and companies are not making as much money? You know, recession?

  • recession is only a hidden tax agenda for those who are not paying taxes. That's why obama increased taxes on tonic and cigarettes across the nation. And the boycot's will continue.

  • This has nothing to do with the legality of income tax.

  • It's not america's duty to pay for free healthcare to 12 million illegal aliens for their healthcare or homes or credit cards go fuck yourself you communist

  • Actually I'm a conservative.

    If you don't like what is done with the money, vote them OUT!

  • not just vote them out stop paying income tax

  • Squid you response is FRIVOLOUS...."liable for" is not in any of the garbage you listed..... you are hereby sanctioned in the amount of $50,000.00

  • The plain language of the IRC, however, belies this assertion, stating in section 1 that a tax is hereby IMPOSED on the taxable income of every individual (emphasis added). Although plaintiff attempts to distinguish between imposing a tax and creating a liability for a tax, there is no difference. Every individual has an affirmative duty to pay taxes.

    Porcaro v. United States

  • what duty? thats imposed. That's tyrranis to saying socialism and is not Constitutional

  • What isn't constitutional?

    The tax is imposed, the duty to pay the tax is imposed, you are liable to pay your taxes.

  • explain to me how its my duty to pay income taxes off my hard earned money?

  • Easy, because you are a resident of the United States and it is the law.

  • No im not a resident either i'm an citizen

  • You don't live within the borders of the U.S.?

    If you are a citizen you owe taxes no matter where you are.

  • come get these so called taxes and you will be mightely dissapointed

  • Nice to see that you're a wanna-be convict.

  • millions will do the same hahahahaha wait and see

  • And many more tens of millions will continue to support the United States.

  • they sure will the hard way when obongo taxes the industries and those companies pass it onto the consumer just like cigarettes and cokes. And jimmy carter style politics are back in swing. gl

  • I don't like osama.....obama either, but that doesn't mean the tax laws aren't law.

  • Good then you can pay mine hahahaha

  • So you agree that income taxes are the law?

  • no they are not. but if you want to keep paying them thats your buisness

  • O.K. why are the laws in Title 26 not the law?

  • re read the constitution for yourself try even talking to a constitutional attorney do your own research

  • You mean this?:

    Section 8 - Powers of Congress

    The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises

    Amendment 16 - The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

  • never rattified always titled or subjected

  • According to the House of Representatives

    Alabama, Kentucky, South Carolina, Illinois, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Maryland, Georgia, Texas, Ohio, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Indiana, California, Nevada, South Dakota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Kansas, Michigan, North Carolina, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Maine, Tennessee, Arkansas, Wisconsin, New York, Arizona, Minnesota, Louisiana, West Virginia, New Mexico, Massachusetts, New Hampshire all ratified it.

  • titles and sections and irs codes yes but no law specifically says you gotta file

  • This court recognizes that the Internal Revenue Code is positive law applicable to disputes concerning whether taxes are owed by someone like the plaintiff. This court refuses to embrace the plaintiff's position that the tax laws of the United States are some kind of hoax designed by the IRS to violate the constitutional rights of United States citizens. Quite simply, the court finds plaintiff's position preposterous.

    YOUNG, v. IRS

  • must really eat you knowing that tom cryer is not guilty hahahaha

  • There are a handful of people who have avoided criminal (but not civil) penalties by convincing a jury that they were too STUPID or delusional to understand the tax laws and their violations were not willful, but no one has ever won against the IRS in a tax collection case using one of the TPs frivolous arguments.

  • I have won using the law in the legal sense.... I have also obtained an injunction against the United States of America....Have you or has anyone you know or heard of ? You are a Squid all right now pay your bills.

  • Prove it.

  • You are ignorant of Statutory Tax Construction.....Duty is not in the Statutes at all....duty is a weasel word meaning exactly what it is and not what they walso ant you to assume what it is...Duty is a moral or legal obligation..(BLACK'S LEGAL LAW DICTIONARY) .in the voluntary system of taxation it is in the moral sense and not the legal.....Just like the weasel word owe....l may owe you a favor but you will play hell collecting it if I decide not to grant it. Favor is another weasel word..

  • Duty is not in the statutes, but 'imposed' is.

  • WRONG!

    TITLE 26, Subtitle A, CHAPTER 1, Subchapter A, PART I,

    § 1. Tax imposed

    There is hereby imposed a tax determined in accordance with the following table[s]:

    It is a legal obligation.

  • legal obligation on what?

  • Legal obligation on the individual to pay the tax.

    It's kind of hard to have a legal obligation on the inanimate.

  • tax is on income not individual....your missing a link, just like your box is missing a couple of rocks.

  • No, you are just confused.

    What do you think is missing?

  • As if you care what is missing. You just respond with automatic pre-programed diatribe. Looks to me that you are a card carrying member of the third oldest profession.

  • Whatever you think is missing, isn't.

  • OKAY STUPID....SQUID... READ READ YOU IDIOT...TAX IS ON ".....INCOME...." NOT ON WAGES , DOLLARS, DIVIDENDS, ETC.... You and everyone else are trying to make a direct tax out of a indirect excise tax...... read you moron.... then go out an get a real job.

  • Let us now put [the question] to rest: WAGES ARE INCOME. Any reading of tax cases by would-be tax protesters now should preclude a claim of good-faith belief that wages or salaries are not taxable

    United States v. Koliboski

    Whether the tax is to be classified as an excise is in truth not of critical importance. If not that, it is an impost [citations omitted] or a duty [citations omitted].

    Chas. C. Steward Machine Co. v. Davis, 301 U.S. 548, 581-582 (1937)

  • koliboski represents that the income from wages is taxable...big difference..... the other Machine co is a social security contribution....READ READ YOU FOOL

  • "get a real job. "

    What part of 'retired' don't you understand?

  • Ret as you display is retarded not retired.

  • Yeah! Thanks for posting this!!!!

    Keep up the good work!

    I LOVE YOU DUDE!

  • There is no Law.......so now what.?....No one so far has been smart enough to use that knowledge.....Just plain ignorant!!!!!!

    What happened to all the legal minds who blow judical tyranny and oppression for no other reason they are just plain ignorant and want to blame thier lack of knowledge on irs oppression and judicial bias...They lose because they are legally incompetent...Bobby Fisher they are NOT !!

  • Here is the law: Title 26

    Section 1, imposes the tax

    Section 61 defines Gross income

    Section 63 defines Taxable income.

    Section 6012 requires you to file a tax return if you have income of more than the exemption amount, and

    Section 6151 requires you to pay the tax at the time and place fixed for the filing of your return.

  • hey wheres the law you quoted sections and titles and rhetoric

  • Title 26 is the tax code, it is the compilation of tax laws.

  • What kind of freedom is that which requires free people to legally pay for anothers dreams, schemes, wants, desires, pleasures, wealth building, failures bailouts & other legal mischief when I cannot force my neighbor to pay for my dreams, schemes...?

    HOW CAN THERE BE LAW OR COURTS OF LAW THAT PERMITS LEGAL STEALING & LEGAL SLAVERY?

    FORGET LEGAL THIEF ARGUMENTS ITS TIME TO BAND TOGETHER. We need unity not legal arguing.

  • after seen Ron Paul on reality report man am proud u have men like him in america n i joined Restore the Republic even am not american live or ever visited the usa but because i believe you have been robbed systematically by the thugs running your financial institutions including the fed res n to me ANY wrong committed by ANYONE  against another human is wrong can't do much other than send to all my friends all the information i get from R t R but its many like me all over the world on u r side

  • Thanks so much, i'm not gonna file my income tax either, maybe they'll come after me next.

  • sorry to say the IRS wins the majority of cases when people go to trial.. if u r lucky and get a good jury & judge u might win but most judges will support the government 100%.. most juries can be "packed" by a good lawyer to give the best results for his case.

  • ANybody know the status of Irwin Schiff. It is a shame they imprisoned him for telling the people the truth.

  • On January 21st, 2004 Schiff filed a brief in the District Court of Nevada Civil Case CV-S-01-0895-PMP (LRL) claiming "Insanity" in his defense for failing to pay his Federal Income Taxes! He contends he suffers from a mental disease or defect and exhibits symptoms of chronic severe delusional personality disorder!

  • lies

  • because THERE IS NO LAW!!!!!! HAHAHAAHAHAHAH

  • however in a since its about liability you signed a w4 saying they could withhold so they do. cancel the w4 ! losthorozons

  • How do you cancel the w4? I have the book I just don't get it.

  • i had to read it 3 times before it hit me but i had studied it for yesrs and this is the ket to it all. I would from ecperiance add to the letter on page 152 first email or write to the payroll person if the co. is a federal intity or contractor. after you get a reply saying no . then write up the short letter on page 152 and find a W4-T (termination). thats it they have to do it , no more withholding . as for what was wrongfully withheld previously you file a 1040 with a 4852 not the w2 .

  • Thanks, I will try it. Is it to late to file the 1040 with a 4852?

  • did you file already . if so then you have to do an amendment file and thats a pain . i would just work on stopping the withholding the right way . that way next year you only have a small amount to file for and then the next year nothing.

  • and....

    they didnt "challenge" my 4852 ... because it was accurate , not fraudulent, and non frivolous.

    walked right into that one. i know from experience you read useless code without application.

  • and by the way , i also had my employer cancel my w-4 and end withholding.

    one more comment: as above

    The IRS will challenge the claims of individuals who

    attempt to avoid or evade their federal tax liability by using Form

    4852 in a manner other than as prescribed.

    they challenge it first to see what you know , and the reason the irs has the form is to correct an incorrect or missing w2. they cant prove it is in error if used to dispute the w2 claim because the filer has the final word.

  • That "wages" are not income under the revenue laws

    That the "subject" of the income tax is never identified in the law

    income only means corporate profits

  • Taxpayers' argument that compensation for labor is not constitutionally subject to the federal income tax is without merit. There is no constitutional impediment to levying an income tax on compensation for a taxpayer's laborsthe term income includes the compensation a taxpayer receives in return for services rendered. Taxpayers' argument that wages received for services are not taxable as income is clearly frivolous. Funk v. Commissioner

  • TITLE 26 > Subtitle A > CHAPTER 1 > Subchapter A > PART I > § 1. Tax imposed

    There is hereby imposed on the taxable income of:

    every married individual, every surviving spouse, Heads of households, Unmarried individuals, Married individuals filing separate returns, Estates and trusts.

    Except as otherwise provided in this subtitle, gross income means all income from whatever source derived, including (but not limited to) the following items:

    (1) Compensation for services,...

    NEXT!

  • Stop paying taxes

  • I noticed that the videos Tom Cryer posted have been deleted..wow.....

  • In fact, ever since the passage of the Sixteenth Amendment nearly a hundred years ago, no cases, from the Supreme Court or from any other federal court, have ruled favorably on any tax protestors theories, while hundreds of cases have specifically considered and rejected them. Judicial decisions are 100% against tax protestor theories—not 90%, not 99%, but 100%.

    So how can tax protestors possibly think that the cases support them? Are they blind? Just a bunch of uneducated losers?

  • You like to paint people with "tax protester". Juries decide cases not judges. Unfortunately in America today, juries are not permitted to examine all the evidence in tax cases. I wonder why? And if someone's understanding of the tax laws differs from yours, how does that make them a tax protester. My studies of the tax laws doesn't make me a tax protester. It only points out the fact that I really wish to know the real facts about the income tax law. Ask me a question I will answer honestly.

  • I've seen bigger boobs on Kandyassmoron.

  • The day when any of these crackpot theories, especially the ones concerning the 16th Amendment, make any appreciable dent in the law as it stands today then, and only then, will I concede that you may have a point.

    Until then, you're just deluding yourself.

  • The day when any of these crackpot theories, especially the ones concerning the 16th Amendment, make any appreciable dent in the law as it stands today then, and only then, will I concede that you may have a point. That day will never come Bosun, The government won't admit to duping the public for all these years.

  • The day when any of these crackpot theories, especially the ones concerning the 16th Amendment, make any appreciable dent in the law as it stands today then, and only then, will I concede that you may have a point.

    And just like the day that the IRS or Congress for that matter actually comes out and shows the law which makes American citizens liable for the income tax, instead of dodging the question altogether, then I too shall concede, but it's gotta come straight from the horses mouth.

  • hahah nice reply bro.

    and bill. don't worry. as soon as i get that pdf from benson i'll link it here and every single page about the 16th ammendment just to shut you up

    Even without it you can see the IRS is full of shit just from the current law. (or absence of tax law enforcement whichever you wanna look at it). Title 26 my ass. LOL

  • Hmmm...one tin foil hat conspiratist presenting proof and evidence from another tin foil hat conspiratist - whose also an ex-con to boot.

    Talk about the blind leading the blind.

    Yeah, you go ahead and show me that PDF of only one state that rejected the amendment.

    Which state was it again? Kentucky? Hmmm...don't you mean Florida, Rhode Island, Connecticut or Utah? See...Benson's already lying to you again.

  • we'll just start with kentucky.

    but if you're already want to admit defeat that knox lied about the approval from the state of Kentucky already.. We can always skip this and move on to the next bullshit

    we'll just slowly prove document after the next how idiotically misleaded you are.

    ^___~ it'll be a great day indeed. And that day is coming soon

  • Cite something that says income tax is only for Government employees. "Sure thing, here ya go RetSquid- 26 USC 3404 Return and Payment by Governmental Employer."

    If it was for Gov't employees only I still would not be liable. The Military are NOT considered employees of the Gov't. (can't quit, go on strike, be a union, etc.).

    ?????? Please tell me your just joking RetSquid, you really can't be that dense, can you?

  • TITLE 26 - INTERNAL REVENUE CODE

    Notice the "IF", nothing about income tax being ONLY for employees OF the US.

    You need to read your references before posting. They don't say what you think they say.

    WHACK!!

    GOOD LUCK!

  • Notice the "IF", nothing about income tax being ONLY for employees OF the US.

    Your half ass attempt at understanding law for how it's legally interpreted is your downfall. You better redo your research on military members/personnel not being considered government employees dumbass, who payed you when you were in the military? Now who's the WHACK you f'n moron. I didn't say income tax was "Only" for government employees, learn to read before you chime in with false intelligence.

  • cont...

    Under the circumstances here recited it is obvious the appellees [whose property had been seized by the IRS to pay the taxes of another] are not taxpayers in the strict sense of the word, and therefore they do not come within the orbit of the income tax laws here invoked.

  • Footnote #3...The term "taxpayer" in this opinion is used in the strict or narrow sense contemplated by the Internal Revenue Code and means a person who PAYS, OVERPAYS, or is SUBJECT TO PAY his own personal income tax. (See Section 7701(a) (14) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.) A "nontaxpayer" is a person who does not possess the foregoing requisites of a taxpayer. (emphasis added)

    Read the entire case to find out what it really means.

  • A "nontaxpayer" is a person who does not possess the foregoing requisites of a taxpayer. Exactly!!

  • True, now how about an example of someone: who is NOT "person who PAYS, OVERPAYS, or is SUBJECT TO PAY his own personal income tax"

  • now how about an example of someone: who is NOT "person who PAYS, OVERPAYS, or is SUBJECT TO PAY his own personal income tax" An example would be an "American soveriegn citizen such as you and I or any non-government employee. Wait a minute, you're retired Navy Retsquid so that would make you subject to the income tax because you were a government employee which there happens to be a USC code for.

  • Cite something that says income tax is only for Government employees.

    If it was for Gov't employees only I still would not be liable. The Military are NOT considered employees of the Gov't. (can't quit, go on strike, be a union, etc.).

  • The Military are NOT considered employees of the Gov't. (can't quit, go on strike, be a union, etc.).

    No you can't strike because when you sign your government paperwork you're signing your rights and priviledges away to be able to strike, form a union, etc. You are considered a government pawn. If military personnel aren't considered government employees, then whose employees are the military personnel considered to be RetSquid?

  • The Military are not concidered 'employees' at all. There are members of the military, but members are not employees.

  • There are members of the military, but members are not employees.

    Then what are they?

  • Members of the Military, Part of the Armed Forces of the United States of America.

  • Exactly, so does that not make you a government employee RetSquid? When the government told you to "run" didn't you reply "How fast?" When the government told you to "jump" didn't you reply "How high?". You went where your governmental boss told you to go. Now we here are telling you where to go as well!!

  • For the fourth time: MEMBERS OF MILITARY ARE NOT CONSIDERED TO BE EMPLOYEES OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

    If Federal civilian employees get a pay raise, it does not affect the Military.

    If the Military got a raise, it would not affect the civilians in the Federal government.

  • U.S. Supreme Court

    LUCAS v. EARL, 281 U.S. 111 (1930) The Revenue Act of 1918 approved February 24, 1919, c. 18, 210, 211, 212(a), 213(a), 40 Stat. 1057, 1062, 1064, 1065, imposes a tax upon the net income of every individual including 'income derived from salaries, wages, or compensation for personal service ... of whatever kind and in whatever form paid,'

    This 1930 case superceeds your 1900 case

  • This 1930 case superceeds your 1900 case Ya and this case superceeds your 1930 case. "The revenue laws are a code or system in regulation of tax assessment and collection. They relate to taxpayers, and not to nontaxpayers. The latter are without their scope. No procedure is prescribed for nontaxpayers, and no attempt is made to annul any of their rights and remedies in due course of law.Economy Plumbing and Heating Co. v. United States, 470 F. 2d 585 (1972)

  • There are a handful of people who have avoided criminal (but not civil) penalties by convincing a jury that they were too STUPID or delusional to understand the tax laws and their violations were not "willful," but no one has ever won against the IRS in a tax collection case using one of the frivolous arguments described.

  • Your assertion that the "arguments described" are frivolous is frivolous.

    RP 08 FTW

  • You're mental block which enables you RetSquid from properly defining and interpreting law for how it's legally written must be a burden. Here's a solid definition of "direct tax" from the US Supreme Court:

    "Direct taxes bear upon persons, upon possessions, and enjoyment of rights"

    Knowlton v. Moore, 178 US 41

    So with this SC case mentioned, how again is the "income tax" constitutional again?

  • "The Sixteenth Amendment declares that Congress shall have power to levy and collect taxes on income, 'from whatever source derived' without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration. It was not the purpose or the effect of that amendment to bring any new subject within the taxing power. Congress already had the power to tax all incomes."

    Bowers, Collector v. Kerbaugh-Empire Co

  • And how do we know the 16th Amendment was properly ratified?

  • Because 90 years of the US Supreme Court's rulings said so.

  • And you see there we go again Bosun relying on secondhand information "Because they said so." How does the SC know it was properly ratified without researching and witnessing the proper legal documents for themselves and better yet, How about showing that legal proof of ratification to the people. Afterall according to the U.S Constitution, Congress is supposed to work for the people, not the other way around. Instead of just relying on "Because they said so."

  • So what else is there besides the United States Supreme Court, the highest court in the land and the court that decides which laws are and are not constitutional?

    This is pud pulling on your part to suggest that there is some other forum to decide this issue.
