Question: Is there a law which requires the average American to pay federal Income Tax?

Is there a law requiring the average American working within the united States to fill out a 10-40 tax form for the Federal Government (against the 10th amendment), which incriminates themselves and is slavery (Nobody pays us to sit down and fill the form out! against the 5th amendment). If not, why do we have the 2nd amendment (right to bear arms) to overthrow the government as it’s gone bad within the last 150 years? We did it to king George. You know some animals that eat grass have horns?

Answer: 1. Yes, there is a law requiring the average American and also residents of the U.S. to pay a federal income tax. It is codified in Title 26 of the U.S. Code. You can read it at http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/26/usc_sup_01_26.html or at http://uscode.house.gov/download/title_26.shtml

2. The 10th amendment says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Since Congress was granted the power to lay and collect taxes in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution, the 10th amendment does not have an effect on that power.

3. The fifth amendment also does not protect you. The right against self-incrimination is a protection in CRIMINAL matters. The income tax laws and the requirement to pay and the requirement to fill out a return is a CIVIL matter and the fifth amendment does not apply.

4. The revolution was fought partly because of taxation WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. Since you and every other American is represented by Congressional Representatives and Senators, you don’t have the same argument.
