There are two pieces of literature that I have read through partially that put this video into a much more favorable perspective. One of them is The Federal Zone by Paul Andrew Mitchell, that describes the jurisdictional issues the Federal government has, and the deception and fraud practiced by the IRS. You can download that book here: http://www.supremelaw.org/fedzone11/index.htm The other is The Great IRS Hoax at the FamilyGuardian.org, which you can download and read here: http://famguardian.org/Publications/...eatIRSHoax.htm There is a good piece about The Federal Zone here: http://www.apfn.org/apfn/fedzone.htm I've been reading these books off and on for almost a year now. I started off with the attitude I see that most posters on this thread have--one of resignation. Like there are only two certainties in this world--death and taxes. The more I became informed, the less I believed it about taxes. It doesn't matter how many guns and bombs the government can use against you. We are a civilized nation. If the government wants to maintain its legitimacy, it has to obey its own laws. If the government cannot show you the law governing one of its practices of relieving you of your income, then it is likely that it is relieving you of your income fraudulently. If you watched the video in the OP, you will note that there is a fairly long segment of a woman who sat on a jury for a trial of a man who lived in Illinois and was hounded by the IRS for not paying taxes. She described how the Jury asked the judge to show them the law that required that man to pay taxes. The judge could not show that law to the jury, and the jury acquitted the man on trial. The whole video is about the ignorance and fear that people have of and about the IRS. That is evident in the posts on this thread. That ignorance and fear paralyzes people. They do not ask questions, but quietly acquiesce and pay their taxes for fear of the consequences of not doing so. The IRS and the government exploits that fear and ignorance. Whoever pays by mistake what he does not owe, may recover it back; but he who pays, knowing he owes nothing; is presumed to give. Seriously, how do you know you owe taxes? How do you know the tax code applies to you? Has anybody read the Internal Revenue Code? Are you paying by mistake? Does the government have the authority to tax you? If it does, then it can show you by what authority it does so. Quo warranto? By what authority? What if they have no authority? What if it's all a big hoax? And we all go along because we're afraid to challenge them? I bet the politicians, especially Mitt for Brains is laughing all the way to the bank about the suckers that part with their hard earned money because they don't have the will or the discipline to find out what the law really requires. How effectively do you think when you are paralyzed with fear? Hatha
