It was stated in the video that a few States has stated that whereas they said it was ratified--it wasn't.

I can't remember which segment it was in.

There is serious doubt it did!

BTW, my health ain't to bad thanks, except for a few aches & pains.

How is Jack doing?
You, your son & family are often in my prayers!

and Jack is well. He has been cutting 2 teeth this week so he has been fussy but all in all, he is doing well.

and besides a few aches and pains I am well as well....

I am reformed!

I had two neighbors. Husband and wife both tax lawyers. One had a case of a former employee of mine that had not filed for many years. I had to re create w-2's and was advised that it was totally my free will to grant them over 3 years back. I of course have them back to 1980. With a tax lawyer, the IRS really cut him some slack for failure to file
Failure to pay is not as bad. failure to file is nothing if you do not owe.
IRS agents do visit homes. They have a field compliance bureau. Most "audits" are not real audits. THey examine some numbers or a supporting schedule. a full blown compliance audit they look at what you have and spend and try to trace every dollar.

Sarbanes Oxley and FASB 109 have created a lot more work. some people are over reacting to Fin 48.

There is "federal" law that requires everyone to pay taxes. in addition to that there is Supreme Court decisions that state that income tax is both legal and constitutional.

Stop doing "google research" Bro. Its bad for your health!

It is about as dangerous as could be. Same with mediicine. People that google health care can get into a lot of false symptom interpretation.

Yes the law gives authority to who must file and how much to pay.

Ignorance is not a defense with the IRS. But "I watched a person on Youtube" is also a joke.
