    "Taxation by Misrepresentation", an E-book by John W. Benson, is by far the best explanation of our income tax system and the laws involved in compelling citizens to pay income tax.

    All IRS processes and procedures are based on the revenue procedures employed by the king's revenue officials in the Exchequer (Treasury) in 1791, dressed up in modern garb. [more]
    I have been hearing bits and pieces along these lines over the last few years...

    Income Tax is Voluntary
    The income tax is not voluntary, some countries like China has the lowest tax, other parts of the world up to 40% (Example: UK, depends on income)

    Prior to personal income tax, the main source of taxation in the US was tariffs.

    Government is the biggest business in the country. They can easily work out a way to be profitable without taxes.

    "Technically" income tax is voluntary, to an extent.

    Depending on what you claim on your taxes, depends on how much of an interest free loan the government gets every year.

    Yes, but it would involve them operating like a business: no financial hand-outs, free services (except as "upsell opportunities"), etc.

    They don't mind putting their ex agents that have claimed this in jail, nor do they mind putting Irwin Schiff away (a wealthy man through tax protest activity, even while sitting long times in jail)

    If they didn't work for them, I doubt their arguments will work for you.

    Social Security was also a 'voluntary' program when it was passed and even newspapers ads of old can be found touting that, but it is enforced as mandatory.

    If you want to pull a Wesley Snipes go right ahead. You see where that landed him. You legally have to file your tax returns or you will be sent to jail. If you file and don't pay they will start to levy you and take other legal action, but the chance of going to jail will be slim. Either way you are legally responsible for the money owed to pay your taxes.

    Do you pay income taxes?

    The IRS isn't always the most competent group, but these loopholes that exist aren't there for the common people. Now, if you're wealthy enough to donate your own art collection to your own private museum as a write-off, that's different.
    If you have to operate your company behind the scenes or under a fake name, maybe it's time to leave the industry and start something fresh.

    True, but before 1913 there was no income tax, and even back then the income tax was very small.

    There would always need to be taxes and the income tax is far from the only tax the federal government has on us. (ex. Gas, Tobacco, Alcohol, Estate, Gift, Capital Gains, Tariffs, etc)

    Congress used to be part time in the beginning of the country, we could start with that

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...y_expenditures

    That is another thing we could address, along with the billions given to other countries for nothing in return (ex. North Korea, Egypt, etc).

    No income tax would be hard, but a smaller income tax is definitely possible.

    It's the U.S. government. "stupid" is the best word to describe it.

    In any case coutries having taxes more than 15% should rethink their stands.
