IRS' TAX PROTESTER REBUTTAL, PAGE 5

IRS CLAIM 7:  "Wages, tips, and other compensation received for services are not income, but rather
    sources of income and as such are nontaxable because the value of the services performed equals the
     value of the wages received.  Therefore there is no taxable gain when a person exchanges his labor for
     money."
REBUTTAL 7:  Lawyers are really good at getting people to argue about the wrong things to keep attention
     off the real issue, aren't they?  This is a good red herring for the real claim they are afraid to address
     anywhere in their comical pamplet, because they can't deal with this one, and it has NEVER been in front
     of the U.S. Supreme Court for a decision because they are scared to death that it will be competently
      represented and shut off the vast majority of their income, which is:
    
    "'Wages, tips, and  other compensation' in block 10 of a W-2 are synonymous with 'gross income', and are
     definitely 'types' of  income, but income is not taxable or considered 'gross income' until it comes from a
      taxable 'source' as defined in 26 U.S.C. section 861 (IRC 861), at such time it becomes 'gross income'.  But
     domestic (within the 50 states) income of U.S. Citizens does not qualify as either 'gross income' or 
      'wages, tips, and other compensation' on a W-2, both of which are synonymous forms of taxable income,
     and therefore this income is NONTAXABLE.  With an essentially zero taxable income, it is pointless for a
      citizen (notice we didn't say 'taxpayer', because that word doesn't necessarily mean 'one liable for tax') to
    file an income tax return and a person cannot be compelled under those circumstances to do so because
      they fall below the minimum exemption amount identified in section 6012 of the Internal Revenue Code."
