wanna see the law. read the 16 amendment
Quote from ratboy88:
the 16th amendment gave congress no new powers according to supreme court decisions. but lets follow this lead... if it gave congress this power.. then show me where congress used this power and passed this legislation. should be easy huh?
GOOD LUCK !!!!! LMAOOOOOOO
if you really want to have some fun then research the ratification of this amendment... here's a hint.. start with Kentucky.
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
I'm no big government liberal by any means, but you keep saying there is no law etc and the fact is there is the Internal Revenue Act of 1954, since amended hundreds of times. The Supreme Court has upheld its provisions dozens of times. I don't understand what the argument is. Please elaborate.
If anyone wants to get their blood boiling over this couple, I advise you to google Marion Barry, former DC mayor and current City Council member. This fuck didn;t even file for 5 years, then somehow got a suspended sentence. Now he is again failing to file. Government tried to revoke his suspended sentence and DC Magistrate refused to go along.
You might google Eleanor Holmes Norton as well, the DC Representative to Congress. When she first ran for office 15 years or so ago, it came out that she had not bothered to file for years either. She got away with blaming it all on her husband, despite the fact she was a lawyer, former Carter administration head of the EEOC and law school professor. There is one tax law for most of us, another one entirely for black politicians, illegal aliens and drug gangs.

Quote from Daal:
the supreme court can make arbitrary decisions. the constitution is what defines what can be the law. Im sure its very easy to find examples of the supreme court cracking down on the right to bear arms, freedom of speech or other amendments. that doesnt mean they were right do to so. ron paul would be the first to agree the even congress loves to ignore the constitution. sorry guys, there is no law is no good argument, the 16th needs to be repealed not ignored. dont preach that the consitution is a sacred document then ignore because you want to save money
