So I saw a lot of information on the web about how illegal income taxes on labor are. On youtube.com there is a lot of information on this issue I will post here a couple of videos on this subject and also the response of the IRS on this subject.

This is an interview on the FoxNews channel with
Irwin Schiff Interviewed By Hannity Colmes On Non Income Tax

Now here is a very interresting Video on a juror that did not convict a person for not paying taxes.
Pay attention to this video.

Here is the IRS Response on these accusations!

What about those who do not believe they have to pay taxes?

There have always been individuals who, for a variety of reasons, argue various taxes are illegal. They use false, misleading, or unorthodox tax advice to gain followers. The courts have repeatedly rejected their rguments as frivolous and routinely impose financial penalties for raising such frivolous arguments. Take the time to learn the truth about frivolous tax arguments and more about recent criminal prosecutions at the following web sites:

1. The United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, states “The Congress shall have the Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United  States.”

2. The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution,
ratified on February 3, 1913, states,“The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on
income, from whatever source derived, without
apportionment among the several States, and without
regard to any census or enumeration”.

3. Congress used the power granted by the Constitution
and Sixteenth Amendment and made laws requiring
all individuals to pay tax.

4. Congress has delegated to the IRS the responsibility
of administering and enforcing these laws known as the Internal Revenue Code. Congress enacts the tax laws, IRS enforces them.

5. Courts have historically held there are no Constitutional
or legal grounds for failure to file tax returns and
failure to pay taxes.

6. The term voluntary compliance means that each of us is responsible for filing a tax return when
required and for determining and paying the correct
amount of tax.

7. Failing to file required returns and failing to pay taxes may result in criminal prosecution and/
or civil penalties.

8. While taxpayers have the right to contest their tax liabilities in the courts, taxpayers do not have the right to violate and disobey tax laws.

Commonly Used Frivolous Arguments

Unscrupulous individuals and promoters advocating willful noncompliance with the tax laws have used a variety of false or misleading arguments for not paying taxes. Here are some of the most common arguments:

Constitutional Argument: Filing a Form 1040 violates the Fifth Amendment right against selfincrimination or the Fourth Amendment right to privacy.

The Truth: The courts have consistently held that disclosure of the type of routine financial information required on a tax return does not incriminate an individual or violate the right to privacy.

Religious Arguments: Use the freedom of religion clause of the First Amendment by taking a vow of poverty or fraudulently claiming charitable contributions of 50% or more of your adjusted gross income.

The Truth: Claiming a vow of poverty or claiming fraudulent charitable contributions to a church for money which is ultimately used to pay personal expenses is not legal.

Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Arguments:

(1) The filing and paying of tax is voluntary.

(2) The Internal Revenue Code doesn’t apply to me because I am not a government employee nor I am a resident of a sovereign state.

The Truth: The tax law is found in Title 26 of the United States Code. Section 6012 of the Code makes clear that only individuals whose income falls below a specified level do not have to file returns.

While our tax system is based on self-assessment and reporting, compliance with tax laws is mandatory.

State citizenship does not negate the applicability of the IRC on individuals working and residing in the United States

Wages are not Income Arguments: Labor worth a certain amount is exchanged for money worth the same amount and therefore there is no income to be taxed.

The Truth: The arguments that taxes on income derived from property are unconstitutional, or that income is limited to gain or profit, are consistently dismissed by the courts. Congress has determined (through the IRC), that all income is taxable unless specifically excluded by some part of the Internal Revenue Code.

Forming a Trust Argument: Forming a business trust to hold your income and assets will avoid taxes. A family estate trust will allow you to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.

The Truth: Establishing a trust, foreign or domestic, for the sole purpose of hiding your income and assets from taxation is illegal and will not absolve you of your tax liability.

How are your tax dollars used to benefit the citizens of the United States? Which of these services have you or your family used lately or will use in the future?
