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!
http://www.claremont.org/writings/199... 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.
http://www.usconstitution.net/constam... 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.
http://www.answers.com/topic/amendmen... 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.

This is so simple to resolve. Next time you file only pay 20% - Tax which is the ceiling for 'Small' Government. If everyone does this what are they doing to do?? Go broke? Chase 100 million people with 5000 IRS agents?? The Government would collapse long before then.
Isn't it the u.s. gov't as opposed to the national gov't (when he says perpetrated by the american gov't in the very first few seconds? oh well no matter; will distinguish and learn cyclically with age!!
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. now this DOES go against previous authorization of the constitution for congress to collect taxes which SAY taxes must be direct and uniform Article 1-8 clause 1 but the fact IS that if the income tax were overturned they would take our money elsewhere.
The IRS is simply a system of control to prevent the American people from creating a different form of money or reward for services or labor. It's insane. For example: If I were to help my neighbor build a deck and he in turn gives me some furniture he no longer needs, and I don't report it to the IRS I have violated the IRS code. In other words I was involved in a form of bartering and in a sense I was undermining the fraudulent money of the Federal reserve system.
