Protest at IRS HQ: "Show us the Law!"

www.GiveMeLiberty.org -- 2002 protest at IRS HQ in DC. IRS steadfastly refuses to cite the law that allegedly requires American citizens to file or pay. The crowd encircled the IRS building chanting "Who us the law!" Needless to say, the IRS failed to respond to the demands of the People.

Article 1 Section 8

"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"

Now you've been shown the law, admit it.

@objectivistathlete No, it wasn't. The Income Tax was never ruled unconstitutional. You're confusing the income tax with taxation of debt and interest. The income tax has always been constitutional, taxation of debt, rent, and interest has not.

The relevant sections is the 16'th Amendment to A1S9C4 which expanded what the tax could be applied to (IE Land, Rent, Debt, Interest) and A1S2C3 which allowed states to levy their own taxes (which is at odds with A1S8C1 Subsection 2)

@Laughingblades The income tax was ruled unconstitutional in a Supreme Court ruling. That's why the 16th Amendment had to be passed in order to make the income tax constitutional. My only point being that your original post is technically incorrect.

[Laughingblades]

@objectivistathlete The constitution in no way specifies any prohibition against an income tax, the only monetary taxes that weren't allowed under the constitution were taxes on debt and interest, which a subsequent amendment allowed.

In other words, yes it does authorize the income tax, it authorizes taxation in general, as long as federal taxes are applied throughout all the states.

@Laughingblades That section of the Constitution does not authorize the income tax.
