    IRS illegal ?

    Greetings. I have a very good American friend who comes to stay every few months with me here on Samui. A retired ex career military man that has been around. not one of those you find in bars around Thailand bragging but he has seen a lot. he put me onto American talk radio. I now subscribe to Coast to coast AM so I can download there broadcasts. It doesn't cost much and it gives me something to listen to when the wife has her Thai soaps on
    I was listening to one the other night that I had downloaded about an IRS whistleblower. This man was a certified accountant and then joined the IRS special investigation branch. A most eye opening interview indeed even though as a Brit it doesn't affect me in any way.
    He tells of during the early part of his training of being reprimanded by his boss for reading the IRS law book. Something he says you would think would be necessary considering his job.
    Anyway after some time there he found that what the IRS was doing had no mandate to do and was technically illegal. He said for a person to pay any tax they had to be legally liable for paying this tax and nowhere in the tax laws was there a liability for the average American citizen to do so.
    He wrote up a 95 page report on this fact which he sent to his superiors and even went to meet the President and heads of congress.
    All he actually got was told to resign and then charged with tax fraud.
    He faced over 14 years in prison for whistleblowing but was found not guilty.
    To this day they still refuse to answer any of the many questions put to them by this man and other members of the public and simply use the power of the Government to silence these people.
    Unbelieveable
    The podcast is on Piratebay if people want to listen just search for coast to coast 15 june 2013
    I remember in the film Freedom to Fascism another ex IRS officer saying she looked for the law that said you had to pay tax and she couldn't find it so just how do they get away with it ?
    isn't it supposed to be the Land of the free and the Home of the brave ?
    The guy mentioned blog is here

    They get away with it through intimidation and deceit. They've managed to intimIdate and force employers to act as tax collectors and they sieze money from your paycheck before the so called tax is even due.

    Has nothing whatsoever to do with government, apart from being chartered by Congress.

    Regardless of the loons that suggest there is a Dept. of Treasury association....there isn't.

    Private entity.
    Americans have been hoodwinked for ages.

    Didn't say it was. Said who it was perfect for.

    Subtle difference, Jeff.

    This is the Federal Reserve you are talking about, I assume.

    The IRS's job is the collections agency to pay for the federal reserve.

    There's no conspiracy theory about this - although I raised this subject a while ago and the OP will get bombarded by people who will have read Soros's Snopes on the matter, and will get all indignant about why they must pay taxes to fund the privately owned Fed.

    Government needs a tax collection agency/ department, and I do not question the legitimacy of that. It is the IRS methods I and many others have a problem with, basically they are a law unto themselves, and I believe they break the law of the land- in many respects- on a regular basis.

    If you are investigated, or arrested, by the police you have many rights, such as Miranda, etc etc. The IRS however, if it decides to get on your case for whatever reason, is as I said a law unto itself. You basically have no rights under their magnifying glass, be it to privacy, innocent until proven guilty, whatever. They really should be reined in. Few people who 'know' have anything good to say about the IRS.

    What gets me about it they way they simply refuse to answer when asked by people to show them the law that says you must file a tax return and you must pay income tax
    I could understand if the guy in this case was your typical conspiracy nutjob but he was a certified accountant and then worked at the very heart of the IIRS and he can't find any such law.

    Where are they? Sorossnopes.com must be down because usually all of the usual "That's a conspiracy theory" muppets should have shouted you down by now.

    They will argue the toss about the meaning of the word “voluntary". Mind you these are the same people who think the Private Federal Reserve is a good idea as well.

    Dollar value 1913 = $1.
    Dollar value in 2013 = $0.03

    How's that private fed really working out for you all?

    The system is based on so called voluntary compliance. If you refuse to comply in any way shape or form there is little they can do if you have your assets protected.
    The very nature of signing the form 1040 is unconstitutional where it violates your with amendment right; that you cannot forced to bear witness against yourself.
    The moment anyone signs any of their illegal forms they submit to the IRS jurisdiction.

    Certain taxes certainly have to be paid as there are laws that make people and companies LIABLE to pay them. There is no law that makes a person LIABLE to either fill in an income tax form or to pay income tax.
    Thats the whole point of the argument.
    What the American Government is doing is illegal otherwise they would simply show people the law that they say makes people Liable. They won't and they can't as there is no such law.

    ^ Internal Revenue Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    You really think if it wasn't an enforceable code people would still pay?

    Tax law has been challenged in courts up to the Supreme Court and failed.

    It is about personal income tax, not about paying taxes. Unfortunately, you don't know what you are talking about. It came into being around the same time that the private Fed was set up. The Income tax basically takes money from tax payers and gives it to the bankers that own the private federal reserve in return for them creating money out of thin air which in turn devalues the value of the dollar. look a the IRS as the collections agency for the private federal bank and then you will see the light.

    I believe that no one would have such issues regarding taxes and whatnot.
    It's how the taxes are misappropriated that might be in question.

    In theory, taxes would cycle back into the public good, infrastructures, or commons, yes?

    Unlike many "social" tax systems worldwide, the American system operates differently. For the few and not the masses.

    And while we're at it - let's touch upon these taxes and how they are used.
    Subsidizing, underwriting, and bailing-out corporations and financial institutions is a way of life. All of which, pay nominal or no taxes whatsoever.....while the larger percentile of struggling citizens pay through the nose.

    American taxes also underwrite and maintain the mega-machinr that is the military - and continuous ventures worldwide. Unnecessary waste that could cycle back into public/domestic infrastructures [like social medical programs].

    I thought it was common knowledge that there is no statute for Americans to pay tax to the largest terrorist agency in the world.
