Guns, bombs and booby traps but eventually they just invited in the wrong people and got walked out to jail.
Of course it is easier to win the game if you play with a full deck.
Cut off from the rest of the world, the Browns turned to their long-held beliefs in conspiracy theories for help. The couple's ordeal would likely be over by spring, according to Ed Brown, when he said a \"warrior class\" will rise up against the \"Zionist Freemasons\" who he thinks have infiltrated the echelons of power and control the world.
Passed by Congress July 2, 1909. Ratified February 3, 1913.
Note: Article I, section 9, of the Constitution was modified by amendment 16.
The 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.
Obviously, there are many who object to this.
I applaud the agents who successfully arrested (without incident) people who were willfully breaking the laws of the land.
If you don't like the laws of the land ... breaking those laws isn't the right way to object to them.
The employer isn't obligated. You don't have to have taxes taken out of your pay. You don't even have to fill out a 1040. The employer has no obligation to even submit the 1040 to the government. You could just pay one lump sum every April.
I'm no expert on American law but I think you will find that your employer is obligated to deduct income tax from wages. Not by the constitution of course but by government regulations. Otherwise few people would have saved the needed funds to pay their taxes and the government would be a giant bad debt collection agency. You might be able to make different arrangements on certain types of income but for straight wages it would be very tough to get past the regulations.

If you look at the IRS handbook for employers, it says what I just said. The employer is under no obligation to take taxes out of your pay. It also has no obligation to submit the 1040, because there is no obligation to fill it out in the first place. The whole thing is voluntary, that's why it's called \"Voluntary Compliance\" Signing up for the draft is Mandatory Compliance backed up by Federal law. If you look at the signature panel of the 1040 and the draft forms, you'll see that you have to fill it out truthfully \"under penalty of perjury\" for the 1040 and \"under penalty of law\" for the draft form. If it isn't law, then it isn't mandatory, and your 5th amendment protects you from being forced to fill out a 1040. Companies don't understand it (well some do) and they say you have to fill one out or no job. That's just them being naive. If they read their own handbook they would know better. The IRS can't fine them or anything if the employee doesn't submit voluntary documents.
Also, if you look at the definition of income in Webster's, then check the law library, you'll find the definitions differ. The IRS uses the Webster's definition when explaining why you 'must pay' and the law library's definition when drafting it's documents. That's why only the tax code says \"if you are liable\" not \"you are liable\" and \"You may be liable\" instead of \"You are liable\". There's a reason for the wording. You're only liable if you produce income. No one I know produces income except my friend who owns a tree service.

Hmmm... When I go to work, I provide a service, and what I do is a product, goods, or services used by my employer. My employer in turn pays me for the services I rendered as part of my "employment agreement", and is considered an investment in me by my employer.
To me, it would appear that what I'm paid for the job would be my income.
(well, I already posted one of these links, but since apparently noone read it ....)
I'm no lawyer, but Jonathan R. Siegel IS! This link to his taxes myths page has the link I posted earlier. There are also helpful links to The IRS and a Tax Protester FAQ at the bottom of this page. All of this \"voluntary\" silliness is addressed there. Click away, pilgrims.
"Theft by Deception" (The creator of that video was visited by the IRS when they found out he made the video; they confiscated his computer and every copy of the tape they could find but thankfully he had already distributed copies so he got the video back.)
Wow! Sure a lot of misleading legal phrasing loaded in those links.

Your opinion. You're entitled to it.
I no longer have any desire to discuss it further with you. Plain evidence just isn't acceptable to you.
I’ll take the first one on and let folks come to their own reasoned conclusions. Discussion of the Robert Lawrence case can be found on lots of tax protester pages, where there is plentiful regurgitation of the givemeliberty dot org spin. Then there’s this page -

Actually, I think top honors in recent times would be a runoff between Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Chairman Mao.
Of course, there’s a lot more to know if you want to achieve a full understanding of the tax system. For example, other statutes besides the ones quoted above create the extensive system of tax “withholding,” whereby you actually pay your taxes on your wages in advance, each time you receive a paycheck, so that on the day your return is due the government usually ends up owing you a refund.
As I said.

It is.
Webster definition of "wage"
1 a: a payment usually of money for labor or services usually according to contract and on an hourly, daily, or piecework basis —often used in plural bplural : the share of the national product attributable to labor as a factor in production 2: recompense, reward —usually used in plural but singular or plural in construction <the wages of sin is death — Romans 6:23 (Revised Standard Version)>
How about asking a straight question: since when did wages and income mean two different things? Wages are the monies you are paid and income is the result.
Different things in different dictionaries. The government doesn't use Webster's, it goes by law definitions and precedent. Wages are not income, it's cited in numerous cases that the two are different under the eyes of law. (I've read them, but I don't know where to reference them offhand, Sky probably has links)

I do; I've already posted the links. Have you read them?
