And you know what you know for some reason other than what you were told in some internet video?
I have a hard time with people who can't even admit that there is a possibility this might be true. I don't know for sure if I'm right and I wouldn't be willing to bet my life savings that what I'm saying is right, but you probably would bet yours, and you haven't even seen the entire dvd. And since there is no other dvd like it, I know you have only gotten one side of this story.
Well, I can read, and when I see laws that say you are guilty of a felony if you evade paying taxes; it seems pretty clear to me that their is in fact a law that says you have to pay taxes.
And when I see a guy on the internet making multiple unfounded, erroneous statements, at some point I start to question the guy's credibility.
Sure you can find lots of stuff on the internet. That is why, rather than citing you back some video or even an article, I go straight to the root source. If someone claims there is no law, I go and look at the laws. That, to me, is a better source of data than relying on what folks write on the internet.
I find it funny you guys think ALL politicians are corrupt but you can't believe that 99% of them know this is true and don't do anything about it. Of course they don't. Anyone who tries gets a big fat ruined career.
I don't believe all politicians are corrupt or anything close to that.
So would you be willing to bet your life savings that I'm wrong here?
I probably wouldn't bet my life savings on anything; but I'd put a hefty portion of them up on this one.
Because as to the question of whether there is a law that says you have to pay taxes, we know there is a law that says you have to pay taxes. We've cited them in this thread.
Yea, it does say we should pay taxes, but what taxes? Direct or indirect? Taxes on income? Did they mean wages/labor? And is the IRC actually THE LAW, or just a book on the laws? And did the supreme court say before they passed the income tax that it was unconstitutional? And is it voluntary?
Anyways, I suspect the truth is somewhere in the middle.
But one thing I'm sure of. The Fed Reserve, IRS and income tax should be abolished or fixed.
Ron Paul supports the elimination of the income tax and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). He asserts that Congress had no power to impose a direct income tax and has called for the repeal of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified on February 3, 1913.

PS. Here is Dennis Kucinich disagreeing with you about transparency:
However, I think we can agree on the need for transparency. Transparency in the tax system is necessary to achieve fairness. Transparency permits the taxpayer to understand how fairness is arrived in the tax code. A simplified tax code can provide this transparency, which in turn provides a sense of trust in the government.
Congressman Dennis Kucinich
the Truth... that the FED and the IRS are non-governmental agencies. He has stated that there is no law to pay taxes, it's illegal and unconstitutional. It is an organization owned by a banking cartel. He also states that it's been put into peoples minds that it's a gov agency and the law to pay taxes because they (the IRS) use force to intimidate the American into submission to pay.
Around noon on Monday, September 17th, a Las Vegas federal jury returned its verdict refusing to convict nine defendants of any of the 161 federal tax crimes they had been charged with. The charges included income tax evasion, willful failure to file and conspiracy to evade taxes.
The four-month trial centered around the family businesses of Robert Kahre who paid numerous workers for their labor with circulating gold and silver U.S. coins, and did not report the wages. The payments took place over several years, allegedly totaling at least $114 million dollars.
On September 20, 2007, three days after the federal trial's dramatic conclusion, the Las Vegas Review Journal, reportedly under a degree of public pressure, ran its first (and last) story about the outcome of the trial. To this day, with exception of the single article by the Review Journal, no major media entity has published a news story regarding the outcome of this important federal criminal tax case.
The censorship of this important news story is, unfortunately, not unexpected given the continuing, worldwide onslaught against the U.S. "dollar" -- specifically the Federal Reserve variety, and the ever growing numbers of Federal Reserve Notes required to trade for an actual ounce of silver, gold, oil, or for that matter, anything.
In short, this failed prosecution has coalesced and exposed truths our Government desperately needs to hide from the People: the truth about our money, the truth about our (privately-owned) central bank, and the truth about the fraudulent nature of the operation and enforcement of the federal income tax system.
