So you are saying the idea that there is no legal basis for citizens to pay income tax is a scam, and that theis lawyer, Cryer, foolishly bought into it and ruined his business?
The short answer is yes. But, I am open to the possibility that these tax protestors are techinically correct, but that it doesn't matter because all of their arguments have been struck down by the courts. In the US, courts essentially have lawmaking power by their rulings, and if the original IRS laws did not require certain taxes, the courts have interpreted that they do.
The truly amazing thing is that over and over, when challenged, they could provide no law to show that they had any right to do what they were doing/ You would think, that BY NOW , there would be even some “Stealth Laws” on the books that they could pull out to put people like Tommy Cryer “in his place”-—instead they turn their agents into terrorists , and decide to come at him even more “unconstitutionally”/
The only way we can overturn all this de facto thievery is for a majority of taxpaying citizens to agree to withhold ALL AT THE SAME TIME -—THEN AND ONLY THEN would these existing “Laws that are not in fact laws” get their righteous challenge.
