Hi This is a plea. I am in Cape Town, South Africa and I have just found out our revenue service have now appointed the banks agents and can go into your bank account and take money if they think you own them money. This has made me sick. Even though it is a worse situation for you in the US, in a way it is better. You do not have a law that says you must pay tax. Use it. Instead of shouting in the streets, do not pay your taxes and put it into a fund to pay an attorney. Take the government to court. Imagine if everyone in America did this, no one paid their taxes and instead used it to pay lawyers to stand up for their rights. That would be a movement that no one can ignore, it would totally freak the government out. Companies making 5 billion dollar profits are reportedly paying zero tax. How is that possible? It is possible because we are paying it instead. It used to be the case that companies would pay tax so that we didnt. The poor man barely getting by.

Please do it for us in the rest of the world before its too late and they bring in the law for you to pay taxes.

Glaucon - Is there a law then? Where is it? I would like to see it. Irwin Schiff is still in prison because he is not paying taxes based on the fact that there is no law to say he has to? Can you explain?

AROD - Can they throw the whole population of America in prison simultaneously?

It's a nice idea but in reality it's a fast way to get yourself thrown in prison.

This is not true. The idea that US citizens don't have to pay taxes by law is bogus and has been debunked several times. Stop watching Zeitgeist, it is full of lies.
