@Sealy - Did you figure out whether the United States Code are laws or not?
No, I'm still waiting for my buddy to answer me. We work for a tax company so he's probably paranoid to email me back.
I tried calling.
There is something I'm forgetting. Like, is the Code book just the rules or is the exact wording in the 16th amendment the exact wording in the Code book. Maybe the Code book are just the rules to the law, which is the 16th amendment, which is unconstitutional, and which may not have been ratified by enough states, and the supreme court ruled unconstitutional, which says it gives congress no new taxing powers,
I'll let you know as soon as he replies or I see him again.
Well I'm not agreeing to be bound by whoever your buddy is.
But if the zillion cites on the web confirming it are not enough, go to any law library in the United States (or probably most libaries) and ask where the US laws are, and see where they take you.
It's not some secret.
What I find fascinating is that you even argue for less transparency from the Fed Reserve. That's creepy.
