Aaron Russo talks with former Chief Counsel and IRS Commissioner Sheldon Cohen. Mr. Cohen also is the AUTHOR of the TAX CODE!

You WILL NOT believe what you hear! The US doesn't want you know know this!

Article XVI which gives the congress the "power" to have a federal income tax, was found to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL by the Supreme Court! How congress can ratify anything found UNCONSTITUTIONAL is BEYOND me!

The Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in 1895. Referring to the explicit prohibition against direct taxation in Article I, the court argued that the income tax would excessively enhance federal power in relation to state power.

In 1895, in the Supreme Court case of Pollock v Farmer's Loan and Trust (157 U.S. 429), the Court disallowed a federal income tax. The tax was designed to be an indirect tax, which would mean that states need not contribute portions of a whole relative to its census figures. The Court, however, ruled that the income tax was a direct tax and subject to apportionment. This was the last in a series of conflicting court decisions dating back to the Civil War. Between 1895 and 1909, when the amendment was passed by Congress, the Court began to back down on its position, as it became clear not only to accountants but to everyone that the solvency of the nation was in jeopardy. In a series of cases, the definition of "direct tax" was modified, bent, twisted, and coaxed to allow more taxation efforts that approached an income tax.

Congress passed the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1909, and the states ratified it in 1913. The ratification of the amendment overturned an 1895 U.S. Supreme Court decision that had ruled a two percent federal flat tax on incomes over $4,000 unconstitutional (Pollock v. Farmer's Loan & Trust Co., 157 U.S. 429, 15 S. Ct. 673, 39 L. Ed. 759). Article I of the Constitution states that "direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states ... according to their respective numbers."

What good is the constitution and the Supreme Court if the Senate and House and ratify anything found to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL . It is the Supreme Courts duty to overturn this UNCONSTITUTIONAL ratification.

The 16th Amendment was never ratified as not enough representatives signed it. Thus, the 16th Amendment is nul and void.

It doesn't matter what name you work under or what ID's you use, the fact that you have income means you are liable for any taxes on that income. There is no contract, it is the law that requires it. There is no 'Government person'. There is income according to the Supreme Court definition "Income may be defined as the gain derived from capital, from labor, or from both combined" in Eisner v. Macomber

[Dosey121]

Since your on every single tax video ever made, let me ask you a question. If I am working under common law using my common law name and not using my SSI card or Drivers license to work, there is no contract between my "person" and the government anymore so I am not making profits or gains from my person. If I am exchanging my labor for FRN and there is no proof I am using my Government person I am exempt from the Income tax because there is no income according to supreme court definition right?

What a guy from the Isle of Man doing here agruing about the U.S. Constitution and tax laws?

[RetSquid]

Yep, I'm still here and you are still lying your ass off. All Fifty States, you know, the guys that ratify amendments, agree that the 16th WAS ratified.

[RetSquid]
