This guy is wrong on both religion and income tax.

income tax law: an overview

In 1913, the Sixteenth Amendment (http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxvi.html) to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. It empowered Congress to tax "incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." The Internal Revenue Code is today embodied as Title 26 of the United States Code ( 26 U.S.C.) and is a lineal descendant of the income tax act passed in 1913, following ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment. While some states do not have an income tax (Nevada), all residents and all citizens of the United States are subject to the federal income tax. Not everyone, however, must file a return. The requirements for filing are found in 26 U.S.C. § 6011.

In the Supreme Court case of Bowers v. Kerbaugh-Empire Co.,[11] Mr. Justice Butler stated::

"It was not the purpose or the effect of that amendment to bring any new subject within the taxing power. Congress already had the power to tax all incomes. But taxes on incomes from some sources had been held to be "direct taxes" within the meaning of the constitutional requirement as to apportionment. [cites omitted] The Amendment relieved from that requirement and obliterated the distinction in that respect between taxes on income that are direct taxes and those that are not, and so put on the same basis all incomes "from whatever source derived". [cites omitted] "Income" has been taken to mean the same thing as used in the Corporation Excise Tax of 1909 (36 Stat. 112), in the Sixteenth Amendment, and in the various revenue acts subsequently passed. [cites omitted] After full consideration, this court declared that income may be defined as gain derived from capital, from labor, or from both combined, including profit gained through sale or conversion of capital."

Supreme Court case: Stanton v. Baltic Mining Co. , 240 U.S. 103 (1916). There the Court stated that the Sixteenth Amendment "conferred no new power of taxation, but simply prohibited the previous complete and plenary power of income taxation possessed by Congress from the beginning from being taken out of the category of indirect taxation to which it inherently belonged…"

This man is an idiot. A civilized, democratic state cannot support itself without taxes. They should be fair taxes, obviously, but unless you want to pay for everything that is provided by the state then you must pay. Health, security, infrastructures, etc..

Of course there will be some taxes... but it is a common misconception instilled into us since we were young that income tax is a neccessity. This is the exact same reason that Americans fought for independence from the British.

The Income tax Amendment (16th) was created at a secret meeting by a few congressmen and European and bankers (Rothschild, Rockefeller, Morgan). It was pushed through congress late at night on a holiday weekend and was not properly ratified. The Supreme Court's interpretation of the Sixteenth Amendment has changed considerably over time and there have been many disputes about the applicability of the amendment.

America will be fine without an income tax. We were fine before it and we'll be fine after it. The majority of it goes to pay the national debt which is fed by the "Federal" Reserve Bank (which really isn't Federal). If the Federal Reserve bank was not empowered to print money from nothing, then there wouldn't be such a great National debt.

If we were on a gold standard then the currency in your wallet would be backed by silver and gold. Right now it's backed by nothing. This is very important from a practical economic standpoint. There is more going on here than meets the eye, EMPIRE.

I'm not saying income tax is a necessity, but this guy who "offered to pay in full if they could show him the law that states his personal income could be taxed" is an idiot. The Sixteenth amendment clearly states that income tax is legal.

So don't conflate the discussion about whether income tax IS legal with the discussion about whether it SHOULD BE legal. The former is more obvious than the latter.
