I have just seen man youtube videos that show Ron Paul saying that big plans are headed for us.
IRS dosen't have the right to tax us on income, wages ect.
What do you guys think about this?? Did anyone find the law that requires us to pay a income tax??? the 16th amendment.

There is a corporate income tax and a personal income tax.
The corporate tax is legal and justified.
The personal tax is illegal and wrong.
Corporations produce a good or service, at a price, and sell it off to someone else at a higher price than was paid to produce or manufacture that good or service. That is a profit. That is taxable.
People exchange their time and work for money. The company that person is employed by put a monetary value on that time and work. Upon hiring, the person has agreed to exchange their time and work for that monetary value. That is not profit, that is a fair exchange of valued commodities. The company receives your time and work, and you receive their money.
Since when did your time and work become taxable? That is what is occurring here.
Think of it as a currency exchange. You can take your Dollars to a bank who exchanges for Euros. You'll gain nothing upon exchange. You will get in return the value of what you are exchanging. Same with your time and work. You are simply exchanging them for a monetary value. You gain nothing.
Our income taxes go to paying for these criminals' illegal activities. It doesn't fund education - state and local taxes do that. It doesn't fund the roads - gas tax does that.
I'm all for taxes on goods and services, such as the sales tax. I'm all for a community tax to fund emergency services. But I'm not all for my money, which I earned fairly and at no profit, being taxed to pay for corrupt leadership.
