IRS CLAIM 5:
"There is no Constitutional Right to refuse to file an income tax return
because of the Fifth
Amendment. The courts have uniformly held that
disclosure of the type of routine financial information
required on a tax return does not violate either one's
Fifth or Fourth Amendment rights."
REBUTTAL 5: The point is, that the main people who are liable
to file income tax returns have NO
constitutionally protected rights (non-citizens living in
Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, or District of
Columbia), or they are citizens who received income from
foreign sources (per IRC section 861) that
required them to rely on a benefit or privilege bestowed
by the government to receive or protect that
income. For those people, YES,
they should file income tax returns. But did you notice that the IRS
bubbas didn't remind you that you had a right to refuse to
SIGN the returns under penalty of perjury, and
thereby become a witness against yourself?
There is a $500 fine for not signing a return or providing a
frivolous return (called the Jurat amendment),
but you aren't required to sign the return, and if you don't
sign it, the return is worthless in
a court of law and doesn't qualify for use as evidence against you!
IRS CLAIM 6: "The
16th Amendment was ratified by 40 states."
REBUTTAL 6: The 16th Amendment was NOT properly ratified by
40 states. See the following websites
and documents, which the IRS, the U.S. Congress, and the
President, by the way, have all collectively
and recently refused to acknowledge or rebut:

As recently as July 2000,
a "Remonstrance" was held in Washington D.C. where prominent members of
the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative branch were invited to
come and provide evidence and argue
their positions to back up the claims made above by the IRS.
Initially, most of them said they would
come so they wouldn't be blacklisted by their
constituents. But ALL of them backed out at the last
minute! Why, because there IS no evidence or law anywhere that
requires U.S. citizens living in the 50
states with domestic income to pay taxes on that income, because
it is NOT "gross income" as defined in
the Internal Revenue Code! The only reason the IRS can
claim it is "gross income" is because people's
employers have been misreporting their
"remuneration" as "gross income" on their W-2 forms in block
10, because they didn't understand or properly apply the tax
laws, which we go into great detail in our
book "The Great IRS Hoax: Why We
Don't Owe Income Taxes."
