Not just a dirty mechanic.

Yet, as explained above, the average American is not engaged in the kind of activities specified in federal law (living, working abroad, dealing with non-resident aliens, foreign corporations, etc.) that would make them liable for the federal income tax. Is there any obligation to pay a tax for which no law has ever been passed making you liable to pay it? Obviously not, and federal courts have repeatedly said so. Taxation without representation is a horrible injustice but isn't taxation without legislation even worse?

The absence of any federal law making the average American living and working in the United States liable to pay the federal income tax and the presence of income tax liability laws surrounding foreign-oriented scenarios helps to explain why the IRS's internal procedure manuals (described and picture above) limited IRS income tax administration and enforcement to foreign and international matters. The IRS's own internal procedure manuals offer proof from inside the agency itself that the IRS has no business administering and enforcing the federal income tax laws against the average American living and working in the United States

Upon the defeat of the attempt to implement the first income tax in the United States, which resulted from a U.S. Supreme Court case called Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan & Trust Co. declaring the income tax unconstitutional, the advocates for American income taxation went back to the drawing board early in the 20th century and proposed the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as a way to make income taxation constitutional. The 16th Amendment was allegedly ratified in 1913 (yes, there is solid evidence that the 16th Amendment was fraudulently ratified but that is another discussion) and upon the alleged ratification Congress immediately passed and President Wilson signed into law the Revenue Act of 1913, which for the second time in American history attempted to collect an income tax from the American people.

Unfortunately for advocates of income taxation and the 16th Amendment, the U.S. Supreme Court struck another blow to them in the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad Co., 240 U.S. 1 (1916). Congress reacted to the Brushaber decision by significantly cutting back on the scope/reach of the 1913 revenue act by repealing the 1913 act and passing another revenue act in October, 1916, whereby only non-resident aliens and foreign corporations were made subject to the federal income tax. It is the 1916 revenue act that formed the foundation for the income tax system we know today. The paper trail from the 1916 revenue act through today is unmistakable. It is this chain of events that led Joe to understand why even internal IRS manuals would actually outline the international nature of the federal income tax – because the Congress retrenched back from taxing the average American living and working in the United States as it tried to do with the 1913 revenue act and instead kept federal income taxation in the “safe zone” of only embracing non-resident aliens, foreign corporations and Americans living/working abroad, all being groups who could not enjoy the constitutional protections of life, liberty and property guaranteed to Americans at home.

Because the person saying it is implying they are arguing from a moral high ground, or superior intelligence. Infering that if you don't agree with what I am hinting at you are wrong.

Get together with your neighbors. Have your whole block file on each other? Then drop charges? Rince repeat keep em busy

This is a terrible idea.

"you know what I'm saying" is my favorite argument.

I know that you don't want to say what you mean
