The IRS was never established by Congress as should have been. This is pointed out in the IRS's manual under the 1861 Organic Act which the IRS was first born as the "Bureau of Internal Revenue". It can be found in the Organization section of the manual. It has always functioned as a private, non-government, foreign corporation that has no jurisdiction on private citizens in the U.S. of A. except those in military forts and D.C. citizens. From the time that the Bureau of Internal Revenue was created, so was the Federal Reserve in 1913 at the same time as the federal courts to establish courts of commerce and equity (both which are private law under Title 26 U.S.C.) which is in conflict with the common law of man known as positive law. The fact that we have a direct tax taken out of our way of living is straight out of the Communist Manifesto, pg. 94 or 96. Plank #2 "a graduated or progressive income tax". We are being taxed as consumers and corporations when we are neither. We are human beings being taxed as slaves to feed into a foreign fund which holds an IMF called Individual Master File account on each of us. This can be be accessed through FOIA requests.

As a self employed person, I am forever getting behind on income taxes. And then penalties piled upon interest, upon penalties. The whole system is designed to keep the masses P.O.'d at business, to take the heat off politicians, IMO.
The majority of the sheeple don't even bother to consider that everything they buy has a big percentage of tax added to the cost. They just go off on the business, about how overpriced the product is. An up-front national sales tax would be the way to remind people of who they are actually paying their money to. The 42 cents a gallon gas tax is a good example. I don't understand why gas stations don't have that posted at every pump, in big print.
Self employed folks have a much better perspective on taxes, than the sheeple who have it taken out of their paycheck, and never see the money in the first place.
I believe there would be a real tax revolt, if everybody had to send quarterlies to the IRS. But the politicians know that, hence "payroll deduction". And the sheeple are content with it.
