what is an income tax?

So I recently learned an incredibly shocking thing. I mean something that I find so compleatly disturbing that it almost made me sick, one of those things that you can't believe until it's been proven to you. So here it its The majority of regular everyday americans like you and I aren't required to pay income taxes, that's right. first of all there is no law stating that we must pay these taxes. As a matter of fact, taxing us in this manner is illegal according to our constitutional rights.
" a direct tax must be apportioned" the constitution of the united states. It has been argued that the 16th amendment gives the gaovernment the right to tax income but the supreme court has ruled time and again that it does not. "The court holds that the 16th amendment did not empower the federal government the power to levy a new tax." the New York Times, 1916. The definition by the government of income is the money, goods or services gained by corporations. Basically meaning that the only people required to pay income taxes are corporations. shocked? In fact even the laws the IRS have state that it is voluntary to comply in paying these taxes.
So if this tax is illegal why do people pay it? I feel that there are several reasons namely people are ignorant of the situation, people just don't know that they aren't required to pay taxes. Another reason people are afraid of the IRS and with reason the IRS uses scare tactics to recieve compliance, not unlike that used in fascist nations. Also the Amercan people typically think these taxes go toward things like education, roads and such, but it doesn't. We pay taxes on gasoline and property for those things.
So where does the money go? Did you know that the federal reserve is a private bank? The money you have in your pocket is distrubuted, on loan by the federal reserve, with interest, did you know that? This obviously can only create one thing, debt. Aproximately 35 percent of your wages go toward taxes that's 4.2 months of the year that you work, and recieve no money to pay the governments debt. Who does that money go? To the private business owners of the federal reserve.
According to the 5th ammendment you cannot do anything that incrminates yourself. making a mistake on your 1040, according to the IRS is an incrimnating action, who do you trust, the founding fathers or a private organization, the IRS? Not only this but all of this other evidence essentially proves that the income tax is illegal. So how are they putting people in jail for this. The answer is sad, public ignorance. Something we can cure.
So if you don't want to pay income taxes anymore I wouldn't blame you, I'm not going to. Oh and I wouldn't fear the IRS it seems that if you have any knowledge about this it wouldn't be that difficult to win a case, if you were to get audited. Besides "People should not fear their governments, governments should fear their people." alan moore. I think it's time for people to know that they're being scamed.
