I believe the Income Tax is Unconstitutional however if you take this hardline position they will throw you in jail.

Many "tax prostestors" for example Irwin Schiff have learned this. He died in prison. It's not a good idea.

They will never rule against the government collecting taxes I believe even if it's technically unconstitutional ....

It sucks!

is this really about tax issues of dividens
that are reinvested?

[I got the rope]

I want to see proof it was actually ratified. Little tough to believe we would do that to ourselves

[SPDSHDW]

How is this any different then me being forced to pay taxes on “profit” my S corp made, without me ever seeing a dime?

[Paladin2]

Even being made to pay taxes on Mutual Fund “Capital Gains” is total BS.

Especially since a 3% tax on tea was enough to make you angry.

Do you suppose we are more oppressed than the founding fathers?

[Oscar in Batangas]

Does anyone else remember the proposed simple income tax form:

1) Enter the amount you earned ____________
2) Send it in

Are we there yet???

[Jonty30]

Unquestionably.
Prior to the Founding of America, most citizens of the continent only had to promise fealty to the King and pay your taxes.

Prior to the Revolution, the citizen here paid between 1 and 2 shillings/year. You guys didn’t have representation in the Parliament, which was the bigger complaint.

Didn’t they have to quarter British soldiers too? (The quartering act) I imagine that probably didn’t make them happy either.

[Jonty30]

I guess they did that as well.

[Libloather]

"Oh, it's just a tax."

[STJPII]

We are significantly more oppressed and we are also substantially more spineless

F Treason John Roberts.

Almost as much the destroyer of the United States as b Hussein Osama.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

It’s “ the Hill,” so I’ll take its characterization of the issue with a grain of salt, but if a SCOTUS decision could really do all that, There’s no way Roberts and possibly Kavanaugh and Barrett won’t vote with the left.

[CFW]

Chief Justice Roberts is not going to allow anything to rock the boat with the U.S. tax code. Even if an opinion was written given the plaintiff relief requested, it would be so narrowly written that it would only apply in a very limited way so as not to interfere with the tax code itself.

[RandFan]

Correct. Roberts is the problem on this. The others might be sympathetic
