and he never went to jail. True story.
i actually watched a documentary on PBS talking about how Income Tax is unconstitutional.
then i learnt in one of my economics class that that argument is mostly adopted by corrupt CEOs n shit who point to loopholes in the law to get away without paying their income tax.

if wages are not profit and the constitution defines profit as income. and the irs can only tax income. why are our wages being taxed?
wages=income. THe government is representative of the people. People are funding the government, ie, they are investing the money to have their interests carried out.
Shit cost money.

nick tooch, you surprise me with your history knowledge. or is that wikipedia knowledge?
i live and breath my friend.....i live and breath
semantics?
you're joking right?
i mean you do realize this is how constitutionality is determined? you do know that right?
the wording and definitions of law are vital to laws' application and enforcement.
that's like saying illegal search and seizure doesn't apply to x-raying your home because the cops are not actually entering your home. then when you try to debate the definition of "search" the gov tells you "eh...Semantics".
wages = the exchage of services for legal tender or goods. the exchange is made for equally valued items.
one hr of work in exchange for $10. there is no profit.
the constitution defines income as "gains" which means profit.
the congress does not have the right to tax wages. it has the right to tax profits.
the constitution is defined by THE PEOPLE not the GOV.
thats why it starts with WE THE PEOPLE.
lol hes old, u feel me. all the historic events were going on during his lifetime.
