				I just watched a documentation http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3254488777215293198#docid=-1656880303867390173stating, pretty much income tax is illegal, irs is a private organisation, such as federal reserve is private, basically maybe the whole money system beeing in private hands.
 
 I search for:
 
 -a proove of the law that justify income taxes
 -irs beeing law ruled, based and voted company below congress
 -federal reserve beeing law ruled and voted below congress
 
 that docu is pretty good so you better watch this before you respond.

				If you want a government to protect you, that government is going to need money.  No income tax means a higher sales tax, or other forms of taxation.  Sure it sucks, but it's a price we must pay.

				Thrice damned internet libertarians...
 The IRS is not private.  What would give you that notion?  It is a government agency.
 
 I'm not sure what a German has invested in this issue in the United States though.  I know you're a German in Germany too.  Spelling.

 The IRS is a subsection of the treasury you know the ppl that make money! which if you don't know somehow gave out all that money back when for the econ issue hum if the treasury is part of the government and the irs is part of that then ahh k i get it...you're pulling shit outta your asses

				The idea behind all this nonsense is the contention that the 16th Amendment was ratified "improperly". 
 Basically this:

 However,in the end, it doesn't even matter. Cause of this:

 Really?  The dude just cited the US Constitution.
 
 Also, I'm willing to forgive the grammar and spelling errors of people who are not from English speaking countries, but if you want to have a discussion you need to be understood.  I don't understand you.

				US Constitution Article I section 8: "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States..."
 Taxation is one of the explicitly granted powers in the US constitution, and anyone who doesn't know this and is an American is a moron.
 
 The IRS is designated by the congress to collect taxes, which is again one of it's constitutionally mandated duties.
 
 The Federal Reserve was created by congress in the Federal Reserve Act.
 
 If you really were curious, you could just have read wikipedia. This post was a complete waste of time.

				People have already answered your question. There's an AMENDMENT to the US CONSTITUTION that establishes the federal income tax. The federal reserve board and IRS are government agencies established to oversee such.
 You could argue about the validity of the 16th Amendment, but I think that's a crock of shit anyway.
 
 And as has been mentioned before, so what? What's the alternative?

 Everyone else paying taxes but you not paying taxes seems to be the general idea of people who like this. Maybe it does work but the people who did it are onto a good thing and don't want the word getting out. If someone went to court with that defence and won it'd be in the interests of everyone involved to get out of taxes personally but act like it never happened. If too many people did it the Gov would patch the loophole. :p

 What income is taxable? And are people being forced to pay taxes that are based on voluntary compliance? Do people living in the 50 states with a citizenship actually have to pay an income tax?
 
 If you live in the 50 states, you do not have to pay it and your income is NOT taxable. So that source really means nothing. Certain foreign incomes are taxable, however.

 Did you know Supreme Court cases ruled that the Sixteenth Amendment gives the US Government no new power of taxation? There were already laws that the government can tax certain FOREIGN incomes, but they still do not have the right to tax citizen's incomes in the 50 states. The 16th amendment is useless, and provided nothing new. This is why the Constitutional Party wants to abolish the 16th Amendment with the Liberty Amendment.

 I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.  You ask a couple of questions and come to a conclusion that you make appear as though you reached it through logical means.  You aren't making a logical argument though.  You aren't making an argument at all.  You have some questions, an assertion which is not really true, and somehow now we suddenly don't think the US code doesn't mean anything.
 
 What?
 
 EDIT: I don't mean to be excessively condescending, but edit your posts instead of stringing them together.  I don't want to be interpreted as flaming you.  You have just confused me to no end.

				Haha.I think this quote from a case tried by the Fifth Circuit Court sums the refutation up nicely.
 
 "We perceive no need to refute these arguments with somber reasoning and copious citation of precedent; to do so might suggest that these arguments have some colorable merit. The constitutionality of our income tax system—including the role played within that system by the Internal Revenue Service and the Tax Court—has long been established... [Petitioner's argument] is a hodgepodge of unsupported assertions, irrelevant platitudes, and legalistic gibberish."
 
 The Supreme Court, and indeed, courts at every level of the Judicial system have constantly and consistently ruled in favor of the legality of the US income tax system. I could start listing them... but see above quote please.

 I have an uncle who thinks taxation is stealing.  I think that these people don't talk politics with people who don't think the same thing that they do.  They end up thinking the little expressions they use and the 'government is bad, XYZ must be bad because the state has mandated it,' mentality is reasonable political expression.

 That doesn't mean anything. And in no way is that conclusive. In Subtitle A, there is no reason to conclude that a majority of US incomes are taxable. When the IRS describes which incomes they CAN tax, they say nothing about taxing citizens in the 50 states without voluntary compliance. Also, that definition is different than the legal definition, which makes you even more insulting.

Basically you want to assume that whenever the law talks about income, it actually means "foreign income" and doesn't explicitly say so because somebody somewhere is retarded.  Guess what, it doesn't work that way.  When the Sixteenth Amendment says "we can tax income" you can't just up and say "you didn't say you could tax domestic income."  They can tax any income of anyone in the United States unless it explicitly says otherwise.
 
 It's insulting because your position is unimaginably dumb.  Of course it's the legal definition; it's in the fucking US Code.  That's as legal as it gets.  Your position is basically akin to saying that a state that says it can put murderers in prison doesn't say it can put Asian murderers in prison, so they have no constitutional basis for imprisoning me if I commit murder.  It's stupid.

Your pseudo-legal mode of English may seem intellectual and knowledgeable to your friends, but it seems to me like you're obfuscating your stupidity with syllables.
 
 That said, I think I comprehend something that is at the root of your problem.  You seem to imply here that you think that if federal and state law are at odds there is some kind of impasse.  This is not the case.  Federal law has precedent.  Of course, you could be talking about something else entirely.

				Lets just say I agree with the op. Why the hell does it matter? The government needs X amount of money, and whether it gets it from income taxes, sales tax, or whatever else, we are ultimately going to have to give the government the money it needs one way or another. It's not like all because income tax doesn't exist anymore everything the government does will be for free.

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. Shhhhhh. Man, don't give it away. I might have to start paying taxes again, if that happens. Did you know Supreme Court cases ruled that the Sixteenth Amendment gives the US Government no new power of taxation? There were already laws that the government can tax certain FOREIGN incomes, but they still do not have the right to tax citizen's incomes in the 50 states. The 16th amendment is useless, and provided nothing new. This is why the Constitutional Party wants to abolish the 16th Amendment with the Liberty Amendment. 
 You are mistaken.
 
 It is true that the Sixteenth Amendment granted Congress no new powers. However, Congress always had the power to tax incomes. Being a direct tax, however, it had to be apportioned among the states. That was impractical. What the Sixteenth Amendment did was to remove the apportioning requirement.
