I don't understand. If they are unable to provide a law to pay taxes, why are we still paying them? Why hasn't there been a case yet of the scale of "US Peoples vs IRS"?

So how can we find out how much profit we actually make?

I'm not an expert on this so take what I say with a grain of salt. Its my understanding that the idea is people do not have to fill out a W-2. The only person responsible for paying taxes are the people who withhold them (ie: the tax agent).
Now of course the problem is, chances are if I go to my employer and tell them "I don't want to fill out a W-2", they will just let me go on the spot.

Damn good point. Why not a class action lawsuit?
