Think about the USA Government runs the worlds largest charity. This charity know as the welfare state also has the worlds wealthest contributor list, known as the USA Taxpayers. The USA Welfare State is the only charity in the USA that forces people to contribute to it. It does not matter if you can afford it or not. It does not matter if you agree with it or not. What if Government had to run like a privite charity, and had to ask for donors. Under this system Government would have to prove to it contributors that they are using the money, that we the donors send to the government, is being used for what it was attended for. Every other charity in the world runs like this, why not Government? It is my money, it is your money, should not you have a say if you want to give or not?

Any taxes on the work you do is illegal and was not authorized under the 16th Amendment, which by the way created NO new taxes, and was never properly ratified either.
To tax a person on their labor is a form of slavery ... since everyone is free, the money we receive for our labor is considered a trade, it is a form of barter, and is not income at all ... and since we are taxed on our labor, that makes us slaves to the government.
Furthermore, since that tax on our labor is not apportioned, that fact makes it an illegal tax as well.
The only legal taxation is sales and use taxes, and taxes on capital gains from investments.
Not only is the government a welfare state to many Americans, we are also a welfare system to many other countries as well... and our socialist leaning members of Congress are trying their best to expand this aid to these countries constantly.
We should have a say in this taxation, as well as where this money goes.

Isn't Wesley Snipes going to jail for believing the same thing?

Wesley Snipes is going to jail because his lawyer is a dumb@ss who didn't know what he is doing.
As the article I read about him said... the government wants to make an example of him in order to intimidate people into submitting to this illegal taxation scam of theirs.
