Exactly. They cannot point to the actual Public Law, not an ammendment law, but a original source Public Law signed by a President where the tax code derived from.
What we have is alot of pencil pushers in IRS who for decades submitted their amendment drafts to Ways and Means, and having such amendments rubber-stamped without doing the due diligence and verifications on the legality and sourcing.
And what we have ended up with is an agency that thinks they can do whatever they damn well please, including threatening law-abiding and well-meaning Americans.
The Income Tax is going down and the IRS with it. Any of these turds that have IRS or IRS affiliation on their resume are going to be among the most hated Americans that ever existed.
FairTax is a comin’!
If you had a basic understanding of how laws and the judicial system worked, you would know that court rulings are law. When the Supreme Court ruled on Brown vs. Board of Education, it immediately became illegal to segregate schools. They did not have to wait until the state legislatures passed laws acknowledging such.
Under your theory, something is not law unless the legislature explicitly says such.
