Inasmuch as I'd enjoy writing a book stating my beliefs, and opinions on the income tax, and asserting my 1st amendment right in displaying my views on a public forum, within the last hour or two I have been contacted and counseled by a concerned friend that suggested that I become silent on this issue.CaptainKickback wrote:Now, getting back on point there GaSE, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States states: "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."
Can you, in a reasonably brief fashion, explain why you think the federal government does not have the right and privilege to tax your income (earnings, wages, or other related synonyms)? You have avoided the issue, or just refused to address it and yet as an Amendment to the Constitution it is the highest law possible.
You're not one of those people that only obeys the law(s) when it is in your favor, and break any laws that do not work in your favor are you? Please say no, please say no, please say no.
Sorry Captain and Brandybuck, but I have changed my mind as I have elected to follow their advice.
