Try reading the 16th Amendment sometime.
Im sure Ill get flamed on this subject by those same know-it-all FReepers, but that still doesnt alter the fact that they cannot come up with a cite of the **actual law** that in fact does levy an income tax on earnings of U.S. Citizens. The IRS cant, the courts cant, the prosecutors cant- because it doesnt exist. So Snipes may have more going for him and his argument than hes given credit for.
Start with section 1 of Title 26 of the U.S.C.: "There is hereby imposed on the taxable income of...every individual... a tax..."
Bought into their bullsh!t, huh? Brushaber v. Union Pacific R.R. Co., 240 U.S. 1, The Supreme Court ruled that the 16th "created no new power of taxation" and that it "did not change the constitutional limitations which forbid any direct taxation of individuals". This and other similar cases have never been overturned.

Again, still sipping the IRS kool-aid. I usually don't respond to these type of threads just for this reason. Educating people who think they know it all rapidly becomes an exercise in frustration. This is a perfect example of the deception. I could spend hours trying to edumacate you with citations from the specific USC sections, but in the end you'd just come up with more of the IRS BS. I have better things to do. Thanks for playing.
