    Yes, i have watched tht documentary by Aaron Russo, who is dead not long after making the film!

    Until the entire nation revolts nothing can be done to rectify tax.

    Till then only the super rich get away without tax or pay v little!

    There's a a word to describe folks like you, and while I fully appreciate that it is not yet in any dictionary (because J K Rowling only invented it a year or two ago), we ALL know exactly what is meant by it, and it surely WILL be in dictionaries soon....and that word is "gullible"...

    Unfortunately for folks peddling the sort of nonsense at the links you posted, all these approaches include "willfulness" which the Supreme Court have ruled is evidence enough to convict someone of the crime of tax evasion....and if you know how to Google, it's not hard to find the names of LOTS of fools who believe they were "not required to pay Income tax" yet are now living in small square rooms with barred windows on which YOU and I are paying the rent!

    Good luck!

    I really think you should go for it, the prisons are crowded, but I'm quite sure they'll find room for you somewhere!

    Well, You might want to write Wesley Snipes about this since he is now in prison for not having paid his income taxes. But you'll have to google for the name of the prison. You could also drop a line to Willie Nelson who, although he didn't go to prison, might have if he hadn't made arrangements with IRS to pay his taxes and fines.

    I'm 65 years old and couldn't begin to tell you how many people I've read about through the years who didn't pay their taxes and who ended up doing time in prisons or paying enormous fines in addition to their back taxes.

    So you just go and not pay your taxes. You are a fool who believes what you want to believe. And the only place it will get you is prison or in such debt that you won't live long enough to come out from under it.

    The courts have examined this claim several times and found it to be untrue, unfortunately.

    In fact, these days you can be found in contempt by merely mentioning this.

    There are nice informative Wikipedia articles on the matter -- examining different attempts at declaring the tax unconstitutional (or otherwise invalid) and their failures...

    THE obama slush fund has to be protected!!!!!!!! AT all cost.

    This crap has been rotating around the globe since WW2. Income taxes were established to pay off the cost of the war. We then went to the Britts,to collect on the lend lease program,weapons now pay latter like WIMPY, to no avail. Once taxed they never go away, hell if they did, you would pay by a different name, for a new tax.

    Either you are wrong or you are privy to some new tax loophole and should be making an infomercial not wasting time on YA.

    For that reason I suspect you are just wrong.

    Did you know several people have gone to jail with that thought in their head?

    Yes you are.

    Look at the 16th amendment of the Constitution.
