Re:Aww, poor tax evaders! (Score 1)

Since you are a lawyer, can you please show why this http://www.wealth4freedom.com/law/IRS-EXPOSED.htm is incorrect? I normally do not believe stuff like this, but it is reinforced by the simple fact that every constitutional Amendment specifically authorizes congress to enforce that amendment, but the 16th amendment does not specifically authorize congress to enforce it. eg... section 2 here Amendment 15 - Race no bar to vote 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. But no section 2 here... Amendment 16 - Income taxes authorized 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. So congress was given the authorization to collect taxes, but no authorization to enforce such collections. As such, it would seem that some legal trickery would be needed to transfer these levied taxes from the people in their "sovereign state" to the federal government which has no authority to involve itself in matters directly affecting the peoples of the individual states. Of course it is easier to dismiss anyone as a kook when they questions the legitimacy of income taxes.
