Here are more IRS stats:

The tax code is more than 67,500 pages.
The cost to run the IRS is approximately $11 billion.
The IRS has 100,000 agents.
Income tax compliance costs more than $350 BILLION per year.
Americans sending their personal and business liquid assets, worth around US$13 TRILLION, overseas.
The IRS accepting bids from vendors to purchase 60 12 gauge shot guns.

All these stats can be drastically reduced by insisting Congress pass the Fair Tax Act(HR25/S296) that will replace all federal income taxes with a national sales tax and abolish the IRS. Fair Tax ping!

Fair Tax BTTT.

Don't forget the US$2 TRILLION involved in the underground economy that is almost unreachable by the IRS.

In short, FairTax replacing Title 26, the Internal Revenue Code, does this:

1) Saves the government US$11 billion per year in government costs.
2) Saves Americans somewhere between US$350 and US$500 BILLION per year in tax compliance costs.
3) Brings back US$15 TRILLION in American-owned liquid assets into the US financial system.

The resulting change would send the stock market rocketing upward in no time flat. And that's outside of millions of jobs returning to the USA because of no more taxes on earning money, which drastically lowers the unemployment rate and bumps up economic activity to unprecedented levels.

Is there a coordinated effort to use the objection clause to stop paying social security payroll taxes? As you are probably, aware the Amish can legally claim a religious exemption to the payment of social security taxes. Other cases of conscientious objection (I believe to selective service during war for example) do not require the objector to be a member of an organized religious group but only hold a personal philosophical conviction.
Perhaps a Facebook page with information on government forms and legal information could be started. This could be our loophole to non-violent resistance to unfair taxes.
This could also be a demand especially by young people to demand that the Federal government reform social security.
