IRS: The tide is turning.. the courts and people are listening

[bparker]

No income tax would be better and ironically is what the law actually says. We don't have to pay unapportioned income tax - period. We are only liable to pay income taxes on profits and gains. This is what it says in the constitution (as I have read it and others are reading it).

So why offer to pay a flat tax when you aren't required to pay one at all?

Here is the other sticky they are arguing over:

We have the 5th Amendment as a right to remain silent and to not self incriminate ourselves. Well if we file a 1040 and its "not true" or "not correct" we can be thrown in jail and criminally prosecuted. So, people are saying no, I will not file a 1040 as I will exercise my 5th amendment right and the IRS is recently losing more frequently on these grounds.
