I just watched a documentation http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3254488777215293198#docid=-1656880303867390173
stating, 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.

Didn't someone post something like this recently, then got shot down by every poster??

The constitution declares that the federal government has the power to levy and dollect taxes..I don't know where people get this crap from..

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.

Just go read this =_=
It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.

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.

Psh we don't need that protection then we can all be just like china and sell knock offs of everything.

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:

I know the article is old as shit, but so is this documentary.

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

"The IRS is the US government agency responsible for tax collection and tax law enforcement."
Google it, first line.

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.
All I want to know is, where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

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?

No. Don't do this.

There ARE trolls on the internet to be sure. But mostly it's just stupidity or ignorance.
Don't give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume they are pulling off an epic troll.
