Income taxes are unconstitutional. The 16th amendment is unconstitutional the whole damn deal of the federal reserve is unconstitutional. The graveyard congress votes of 1913 should be unconstitutional. \nWe'd rather quarrel about the right to kill babies or the right of the President to protect us from islamic extremists though instead of the real attacks against the Constitution.\n\nIwrin Schiff doesn't pay income taxes and he fought with the federal government in court and won... Trouble is do you have the resources to fight the feds? I don't..... I also hold a CDL license which is a privilege of a tax paying citizen.

Abraham Lincoln created the position of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in 1862, when an income tax was enacted to pay for the Civil War.

I love the issue of taxation. Remember, back a few hundred years ago, there was a little skirmish called "The Boston Tea Party". Anyone remember what it was about?\nTaxes. That is one of the major events from which this country was born. Patriots fighting against "taxation without representation".\n\nIn 1913, Congress amended the Constitution to allow for "federal income taxes" to pay for the growing war debt.\n(Amendment XVI)\n\nI don't like paying taxes. I don't know anyone who celebrates on April 15th (except maybe tax preparers). I believe income taxes are basically theft by coercion, but they're a Constitutional responsibility and I pay them.\n\nOn the parking citations, you do realize that, by not paying them, you are essentially "stealing" from the city or town, right. This is money that is owed to them, and defaulting on debt is theft. I don't understand what you mean by "attempting to do the same thing with their property", though. If the city owes you money that is a direct result of the property you are taking, I would expect that there would be ACLU lawyers lined up at your door begging to take the case.\n\nI did my best not to be "retarded" although I did mention the ACLU. My bad...

Nope, and you could have it changed legally, if you wanted.  You can call yourself whatever you want as long as you pay your taxes!

Sorry, but collection of income taxes is legal.  Ever hear of the 16th Amendment?\n\nAmendment XVI - Status of Income Tax Clarified. Ratified 2/3/1913.\n\nThe Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

The Constitution restricted the ablility of the Feds to tax and specifically forbids direct taxes like income tax, social security taxes and other payroll deductions.  It was changed by Constitutional amendment.  The promise was the payroll tax would never be more than 1% and would only apply to the very rich and would go away as soon as the cost of the Spanish American war was paid off.\n\nI guess they changed their minds.

Subtract the illegals, and you have none.\n\nBut in answer to your question,  ALL residents who had taxable income, paid income tax.  Assuming they filed a return.

The 16th Amendment, ratified on 3 Feb 1913.\n\nThe Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act of 1894 was rejected as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because it was a direct tax on income over 3000.00 per year.\n\nI remember from school that the tax was created to fund WWI\nand never relinquished, but we were not in war in 1913, so I assume that it was a way for congress to raise money for the federal government to operate.
