I'm currently finishing up my lesson for class tonight, and cooking dinner, so I really don't have time to watch the videos. I have managed to get through 2 and the first part of 3, albeit having to pause a lot. I would think you could have just responded with the basic idea, Ron.
It has nothing to do with "not caring." Of course I care that the government takes too much of our money. Jeff got a bonus a month or so ago, and if I recall properly, the government took 40% of it, right off the top.
You're being silly by not responding to legitimate questions about the topic you started. If you can't really explain it, and need us to watch the video so it can be adequately explained, then just say so.
So far, what I've gathered is that these people feel the
corporate tax is legal, but the
individual income tax is not, and that neither tax falls under the guidelines for direct or indirect taxation, being that a direct tax must be apportioned, and an indirect tax must be uniform throughout the United States.
I agree that the power the IRS possesses seems astoundingly unchecked and ominous. I just don't see how refusing to pay what they demand is going to help change that. I do see how a refusal to pay can bring harm upon my family, reputation and person.
They are not saying that tax, in general, is illegal. They are saying that the way the law is being currently applied is illegal. (out of line with the Constitution
and the 16th Amendment.)
