Question: Do you think the Feds and the IRS private banks have people online to counter Federal tax law questions?

Every time anyone questions the Federal Income Tax Law there is an instant slew of responses and attacks.

The answers just seems to immediate and filled with that typical tax jargin like “Article 26″ and the “16th Amendment was ratified” but they never just show us the law.

Then you get that “Just quit paying and see what happens” crap

They can’t show the law, but they sure like to throw around prison comments and stuff like “you just wait and see”

It really is quite disturbing

It is just to fishy if you ask me.
But doesn’t all this tax law and confusing language mean that there is something they don’t want in a clear and well understood language.

You only make something confusing to hide something

Don’t the laws apply only to the District of Columbia and certain business

How can they tax my labor since it is private property

Why am I a slave in my own country!

Answer: The assertions that there is no law is just nonsense spread by the the quixiotic and delusional “tax law deniers” fringe group.

The “instant slew” is because we care. As part of the Y! community, we are saddened when people fall for this crap. But we see the posting of the questions and rebuttals as opportunities to bring out the truth, both to the poster and readers.

“Tax Protesting” is a respectful and time-honored American tradition. Continual restatements of contrived and discredited positions detracts from the real issues.

I, for the record, am a private citizen who believes that a healthy democracy requires a populace that is suspicious of government, and demands openness and accountability.
Frankly if the Federal Reserve and IRS did indeed have people online answering questions, I would think that to be a wonderful service. There should be public Q&A forums throughout the government.

OK, so you want tax laws? Here you go. For the income tax laws, check out:

“Tax law denier” groups dismiss the citing of the U.S. Legal code as ‘not law’. If you believe that, I encourage you to ask any lawyer. Or reference any authoritative source.

So after dismissing the U.S. Legal Code, ‘tax law deniers’ say ’show me the law as passed by congress’. OK here you go. For the major acts passed by congress regarding the Federal Income Tax…

After Congress passes a law, it becomes ‘codified’ in the U.S. Legal Code. This is a good thing. Before U.S. law was organized into the U.S. Legal Code in the late 1800s, lawyers and courts had a tough time sifting through and interpreting the myriad of acts passed by congress since the nations birth.

I will say that the ‘16th Amendment was never ratified’ argument is wonderfully creative. It’s an interesting collection of arguments, some with merit, and some totally absurd. In the end, the final arbitor on it’s merits is the courts who have never sided with the ‘tax law deniers’. But they keep argument the same old thing on the internet since they can’t do it successfully in the courts. I implore you: PLEASE come up with some new and creative arguments against the 16th amendment ratification. Reinterating the same old discredited arguments is boring.
