For your information and consideration.

I asked IRS to prove otherwise. In three years and seven responses from IRS Austin, Ogden, and Memphis, they can't do it. There exists no law making average Americans liable for "income" tax.

Its irrelivant The IRS will take your money from you, and screw the Constitution to do it!

What's the code? Are you talking State/Federal or both?

It's tripe.

This ragged old meme has been floating around so long and has been dealt with soooooooo many times in courthouses all over the country. What Mr. Z is suggesting is that the entire population of the entire US has been duped (an until Mr. Z showed up) had no clue we were being duped.

Yep, get out your tinfoil hats boys, it's an alien conspiracy! Go here: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=120802,00.html
to get a pretty authoritative mountain of documentation about this non-sense.

Then go here: http://www.taxfoundation.org to find out about real abuses and problems with the US tax system. Or here: http://www.taxanalysts.com/ for a second opinion.

I support all lawful taxation to fund only the powers granted to Washington by our Constitution.

The problem with offering this information to the average American is that they don't know what you are talking about. I am not sure why that it is but it may be because they have relied on their political party or their dogma to provide them with what to think and what to believe.

While it likely will not add to the collective understanding it may nonetheless be worthwhile to point out the very first paragraph in the Constitution.

Section. 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Knowing exactly what legislative powers are herein granted by the Constitution provides an understanding of what you meant when you posted; I support all lawful taxation to fund only the powers granted to Washington by our Constitution. This does not mean they would agree with you but at least they would know that your assertions are on firm ground.

It would also serve them well to read a summary of Marbury v Madison to further understand that the powers granted government are carefully and specifically enumerated in the Constitution. The critical importance of Marbury in this case is that acts of Congress, and by implication acts of the president, are unconstitutional if they exceed the powers granted by the Constitution.
