Stop Paying Income Tax, America?
The news reports that a “local” attorney (to Shreveport) acquitted on federal income tax charges:
A Shreveport attorney who has challenged the government for years on the legality of filing federal income taxes has been acquitted on charges he failed to file returns. A federal jury unanimously found Tommy Cryer not guilty this week on two misdemeanor counts of failure to file. And according to Cryer, the prosecution dismissed two felony charges of tax evasion prior to trial.
I don’t think this is a good thing, friends - why wouldn’t he have been found guilty? Shouldn’t there have been a definitive response on the part of the U.S. Government? Are we all free to tell the tax man to stop cometh’ing every year?
“I determined that my personal earnings were not 100 percent profits, some were income,” Cryer said. “I refuse to file, I refuse to pay unless they can show me I have a lawful reason to pay. What I earned was my own personal labor. I am giving something in exchange. I’m giving my property and I don’t belong to anyone else.”
He didn’t get away with anything if (indeed) there is no law that forces people to pay personal income taxes to the federal government. Just assume that if it has anything to do with the Federal Reserve, the government shouldn’t have say in the matter…

with Chris Pirillo that they will be looking at and while you might want to argue against it you know as well as anyone the vagaries of the advertising world. All that said and returning to your once wishful private blog much of what you have been writing about in the past little while is enough of a borderline controversial type of stuff that it can make advertisers very very nervous. Advertising by its very nature abhors controversy not to mention gets real pissy when you go attacking the

There’s an interesting movie about regarding the Income Tax and how there is no requirement to pay it:

It has to do with the idea that the amendment to the Constitution that allowed for income tax (orig. BANNED by the Constitution) was illegally added to it, therefore making the IRS illegal.
Best of luck to anyone who wishes to argue that point…

There’s a good discussion on why income taxes are constitutional here:

Just a quick comment that is somewhat off topic…According to one page that I read (I seem to have lost the link, but if someone would be interested, I could probably find it again), our current taxes are actually higher than the taxes imposed by Britain prior to the revolution (and adjusted for inflation). Considering that one of the most inflammatory actions taken by the British were to tax the people of the Americas prohibitively, perhaps we should take a second look at our government, or at least stop blindly accepting everything which it states as true. I guess that what I’m simply trying to say is that this guy may not be as crazy as he appears….

Legal or not, I don’t think there’s anybody who would say that we wouldn’t all be better off if the IRS were out of our lives forever, thereby making moot all ponderings as to its legality. There is actually a candidate running for president who would do just that, who believes that the federal government is way too big and into too many things and by the simple expediency of scaling it back and getting it out of many of the things it should never have gotten into in the first place, the IRS could be eliminated completely, allowing us monetary freedoms we have not enjoyed in many a year. Here:
Q: If you were president, would you work to phase out the IRS?
Immediately. You can only do that if you change our ideas about what the role of government ought to be. If you think that government has to take care of us, from cradle to grave, & if you think our government should police the world and spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a foreign policy that we cannot manage, you can’t get rid of the IRS. But if you want to lower taxes and stop causing all the inflation, you have to change policy.

No, We need the IRS. They have a charter ro collect taxes on Alchol, Tobacco, and Firearms. They have no jurisdiction on the “income tax”..
ONLY if you volunteer to join, with a 1040, are you required by law to pay what you agree to pay, as with any contract. most all violations, including “tax evasion” are violations of your contract, as there is no law, proven again by Tom Cryer, that you have to file a 1040.
Proponents of replacing the “income tax” with a “flat tax” miss the whole issue.
Why add on a new tax to replace something that:
1. never provides any services for the people.
2. isn’t a required tax.
3. Isn’t a tax on your income anyway
Why not just clarify the law, and the IRS code, because, as though it may not seem, it is totally Constitutional. It is a “voluntary donation”.
Let the people know the truth, and stop all this **** about disbanding the IRS in favor of a “flat tax”. The polititions don’t need more of our money, they need to stop spending.

An amendment was created to make the income tax constitutional. That does NOT mean it should have been PASSED.
