Not all US citizens embrace the slavery you have become so accustomed to.

It seems that there is a disappointingly large number of Freepers that are eager to lick boots and wear chains! If we accept this tyranny, it will only spread.

[Central Scrutiniser]

Seems there is an equal number of folks that want to build a bunker and prepare for armed revolution. Tax Protestors lose, and even worse, the scam artists that sell the BS about not paying taxes are profiting off of the ignorant.

If we accept this tyranny, it will only spread.

Then address the souirce of the poison, Congress.

You are so busy fighting the cape, that you miss the matador.

Only Congress that has the authority to change the statutes you complain of.

 

PACIFIC INS. CO. v. SOULE, 74 U.S. 433 (1868),7 Wall. 433

• "Congress may prescribe the basis, fix the rates, and require payment as it may deem proper. Within the limits of the Constitution it is supreme in its action. No power of supervision or control is lodged in either of the other departments of the government."

Springer v. United States(1880), 102 U.S. 586

"The central and controlling question in this case is whether the tax which was levied on the income, gains, and profits of the plaintiff in error, as set forth in the record, and by pretended virtue of the acts of Congress and parts of acts therein mentioned, is a direct tax."

"Our conclusions are, that direct taxes, within the meaning of the Constitution, are only capitation taxes, as expressed in that instrument, and taxes on real estate; and that the tax of which the plaintiff in error complains is within the category of an excise or duty."

"If the laws here in question involved any wrong or unnecessary harshness, it was for Congress, or the people who make congresses, to see that the evil was corrected.
The remedy does not lie with the judicial branch of the government."

Champion v. Ames(1903), 186 U.S. 321

• 'But if what Congress does is within the limits of its power, and is simply unwise or injurious, the remedy is that suggested by Chief Justice Marshall in Gibbons v. Ogden [21 US 1, 9 Wheat. 1, 6 L. ed. 23], when [195 U.S. 27, 56]   he said: 'The wisdom and the discretion of Congress, their identity with the people, and the influence which their constituents possess at elections, are, in this, as in many other instances, as that, for example, of declaring war, the sole restraints on which they have relied, to secure them from its abuse. They are the restraints on which the people must often rely solely, in all representative governments."
