Regulations do not trump law, if you are talking about the IRS regulations versus the income tax law.

The law reads VERY CLEARLY that income from payment for labor services are taxable.

Of course, if the 16th WASN'T ratified as recent research seems to show, and if the lawmakers and courts are willing to enforce it using armed agents of the goobermint, we only have the choice of rebellion to thwart the income tax.

There, I said it: Rebellion as change seems impossible.

No, the law states that income from payment for labor is an ITEM of GROSS INCOME. Gross income != Taxable income.
