3. Marcella Brooks Talk
| Legality of Income Tax Conference - June 29, 2000 Marcella Brooks Talk Marcella Brooks served as foreman of the jury in the trial of Whitey Harrell. Her account of the deliberations of this jury is both powerful and stirring due to the facts of the situation, combined with her tremendous personal credibility. Personally, I find these fourteen minutes to be one of the most powerful accounts anyone could show to those who doubt the legitimacy of issues raised by the Tax Movement. A complete copy of the June 29, 2000, Legality of Income Tax Conference video may be obtained at the We the People Foundation Web site, by email at acta@capital.net or by telephone at (518) 656-3578.

Can someone explain this, here is what the 16th Amendment states:
"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."
This seems pretty clear we are supposed to pay taxes, this was ratified by 3/4th
What I posted below seems to be the law that Americans pay tax.
Could Ed Brown and Aaron Russo please comment on the 16th Amendment.
If you want to view the document just go to wikipedia and type 16th Amendment.
I think the convictions of Phil Marsh, Lynne Meredith, Irwin Schiff, Dick Simkanin, Larken Rose, Steven Scharff, etc., etc., etc., all of which had their day before a jury of 12 average persons, had their day before the Court of Appeals, and had the chance (if not actually did appeal) to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, says more about tax protestor theories than anything else. Combined this with the fact that the few people who were acquitted still had to pay their taxes (just as Vernice Kuglin, who lost her FedEx pension), and the outcome is pretty clear. Did I mention that NO accredited legal or constitutional scholars think that tax protestors theories or any more than a big joke? Or that Joe Banister's attorney admitted in his trial that the reason that he was not even charged with personal tax evasion was that he had been paying his taxes all along?
Now I found this:

regarding the intent of the 16th Amendment regarding Pres. Taft,

this is a corporation income tax
I hope both sides will stop fighting
and the Truth without manipulation and interpretation will prevail.
Well if you think income tax is not thievery then maybe you need to look back beyond the ill contrived passage of the 16th Ammendment, back to the very reason that our Nation was founded.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Amendment 13
(Dec. 18, 1865)
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
All forms of individual income tax are in direct violation to the Bill of Rights, 9th Amendment. The passage of the 16th amendment disparaged our non-enumerated individual unalienable right to liberty, economic liberty, as no individual can truly be liberated without financial independence; and, also violated our non-enumerated unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness, as declared to our previous oppressors in the Declaration of Independence
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
So do we need to collect taxes? Yes we do. A direct tax on the people is in direct violation of our constitution and the intent of the Founding Fathers, which is evident in any documentation of the time, ie The Federalist Papers.
Not to mention that the 16th amendment was concocted to negate the limitations to legislative powers Article I, Section 9, paragraph 4 of the constitution, which states "No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken. "
How dare the arrogance of our legislatures chisel out these words etched in stone and change our government for "light and transient causes". How dare they destroy all that our Founding Fathers fought for; destroy the very reason they fought for.
You can argue that the Founding Fathers could not anticipate the financial needs of our modern country and that may be true, but the better argument and more important argument is that they had a clearer understanding of the ability of the state to abuse its power.
Collection of Income Tax is an abuse of power and a violation of our rights.
And you can also argue the lame point that our constitution is a document that was meant to be changed. I argue that amendments should only be passed to give more rights to the people as in the precedent set forth by our Founding Fathers in the first ten amendments. The 16th amendment takes away our rights and freedoms and should be repealed.
I sure as hell put a lot more faith in the Wisdom and foresight of the likes of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, etc., than I do the legislature of 1913 or any legislature since.
Not to mention ...
Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
Income tax is financial discrimination. This oppressive form of indentured, involuntary servitude needs to end.
You can say that anyone who does not pay their income tax to be un-American.
I say that it is UN-AMERICAN to collect and enforce the collection of income tax. It is down right JF-ing Kerry communist!
