He better get used to jail.

[Pern]

...sounding, I must say, as if he's gone over entirely to the kook wing of American politics.

Why is it when a person realizes the injustice of the tax code and wants to do something about it they are usually labled as 'kooks' or a 'nuts'?

I wish this guy all the best, at least he has the stones to stick by his principles.

Bob Schulz is a good fellow and a dragon-slayer without peer, but this time I think he's taken on a bigger dragon than he can handle. Governments guard no privilege more jealously than that of milking us dry to pay for their boondoggles and vote-buying campaigns. Anyone who steps forward to lead a tax revolt must know that a crosshairs will settle on his forehead at once.

It's a fine, brave gesture, but it's likely to get him very substandard accommodations at a federal resort. Without room service. Well, room service of the good kind, anyway. Ask Irwin Schiff.

I wish him luck. Thing is, most folks work for some company who takes out all these taxes before they get what's left so refusing to file isn't an option (unless they don't want to get any 'extra' back, that is). I keep wondering what would happen if a state passed some sort of ordance saying that companies didn't have to 'withhold' from their employees' checks and whether such a move could possibly fall under 10th amendment protection somehow...

Here's a link to a website where you can order a videotape for $20, or read much of the material for free. It will explain in great detail how

A CITIZEN OF ONE OF THE 50 STATES WITH A DOMESTIC INCOME IS NOT REQUIRED TO PAY FEDERAL INCOME TAXES !!!!

Theft by Deception

I defy anyone to watch the tape and disprove anything in it. I have watched it 6 times and researched, independently, the material presented; and I have ordered copies for many friends, some of which are lawyers and accountants. No one has been able to dispute its findings. It is well documented.

Yet we know that the federal government, as a current police state, has the POWER to force us to do almost anything, even if it does not have the Constitutional authority to do so.

[upchuck]

Maybe Bob and Steve should have a pow-wow. Poor 'ole Steve took his cause all the way to the SCOTUS and lost.

Unfortunately, I think this is pretty simple: Even if the Federal Income Tax is illegal, was never ratified properly, is voluntary, or whatever, the cards are stacked against all who try and fight it.

Personally, I think anyone who fights it is spinning their wheels and asking for jail time. Better to spend all that energy trying to change the existing system. Check here.

Not paying your taxes is surely one way of screwing the government. Eventually you will wind up being housed, fed,clothed, entertained, medicated, offered an education and Gyms in which to bulk up your body-eventally providing you a burial plot and funeral, if your sentence is long enogh, or you are old enough when sentenced.

All in all it's sort of a perverted rebellion, because you are also screwing yourself. Better to pay those taxes and bitch about them as a free citizen, more or less.

I wish him good luck and I will be watching in the wings.

The 16th Amendment was not legally ratified. It is not a law, and we pay our taxes because we are slaves submitting tribute to our masters.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

At least he's putting his money where his mouth is. Gotta respect him for that.

"The civil strife is inevitable," he wrote. "Let it come! Let it come!"

Yup. Unfortunately, that is the only way, we're too far gone.

[TexasRepublic]

Governments will crush anyone that opposes them, unless there is an overwhelming public reaction against their oppresive rule. The tax opponents may be right, but John Q. Sixpack, et all, haven't "got it" and picked up the pitchforks yet. Until then, the individual would be advised to pay taxes.

[ForOurFuture]

Can anyone provide a narrative and/or links explaining how and why the 16th amendment was not properly ratified?

[Eagle Eye]

I've heard that prison costs about $40k annually per prisoner.

How about if they just give me $20 and I'll keep my nose clean? Win-win, right?

freedom from taxes..... when

"in the meantime I will look to my interests by continuing to pay my own taxes.",

this is why there are few among us who are true heroes like Shulz!

[SSN558]

War is the justification that Washington DC has been using to confiscate our wealth for over 60 years. the war ended but the bureauracies and taxes did not. So we have wars on poverty, wars on drugs, and wars on just about any social problem you can name. Washington DC always needs some real or imaginery boogy man to hunt down, or they are without purpose. Just be glad they have a foreign enemy for the time being. When they don't have a foreign enemy they turn inward against their own people, such as what happened during the Clinton years.

[RedwM]

only people that work for the govt should taxes.
