"The "fact" (chapter and verse of the Tax Code which makes withholding mandatory) has not been pointed out by anyone here, or elsewhere, because it doesn't exist.
Anyone who eventually does fabricate such chapter and verse as though it existed in the Tax Code will indeed be discredited. I assure you of that."
I'm waiting to be discredited.
We were discussing specifically the Federal Tax Code.
Somebody provided snippets from MGL (Massachusetts General Law) which are similar to Virginia's State Tax Code, Louisiana's State Tax Code, etc.
All of this is very nice, but is not responsive to the question at hand, regarding the United States Federal Tax Code.
An interesting diversion, but hardly probative and certainly not responsive.
You are hereby discredited... again.
