America: From Freedom to Fascism (2006)
"Determined to find the law that requires American citizens to pay income tax, producer Aaron Russo ("The Rose," "Trading Places") set out on a journey to find the evidence. This film which is neither left, nor right-wing is a startling examination of government. It exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America since 1913 when the Federal Reserve system was fraudulently created. Through interviews with U.S. Congressmen, a former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents and tax attorneys and authors, Russo connects the dots between money creation, federal income tax, and the national identity card which becomes law in May 2008. This ID card will use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips which are essentially homing devices used to track people. This film shows in great detail and undeniable facts that America is moving headlong into a fascist police state."
The 16th Amendment issue is a red herring and does not address the issue of the power of Congress to tax. It is a red-herring because it deals the difference between direct and indirect taxes mentioned in Article I, sec 9 as well as court interpretations of said Article.
Suffice to say, all those with open minds, read this IRS publication that clearly and concisely explain ALL of the concerns regarding the ability of the government to tax. Read it here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/friv_tax.pdf
Think about it. The simplest answer is usually the best. No government would exist without the ability to tax. This government has made a system of taxation. You might disagree with it, but it is still the law.
If you want change, lobby congress or get a grassroots movement. But casting a blind eye to the law is not only naive, but could get you thrown in jail.
