In 1913 Congress, President and the Supreme Court passed an Amendment to the Constitution authorizing taxing an Individual's income. Although it did not begin taking out the tax until later this was the year it was Authorized. Our Constitution also states "There will be NO taxation without Representation". I do not believe that anyone alive today EVER voted to approve this Federal Income Tax that we currently pay. The "Internal Revenue Service" was NEVER adopted to function within the Mainland United States as it exists today. It was, although, allowed to act autonomously in the U.S. Territory (I believe) Marshal Islands. Contrary to popular belief, it IS NOT a policing agency. It's agents are not sworn officers of any part of our Government therefore NOT authorized to enforce ANY laws. Being to old, I would be useless to begin a "Do Not Pay" your tax movement.
Our federal Government used to work during the year. Their largest money maker was the "Army Corps of Engineers" that would design Roads, Bridges, Train Routes and Tunnels and the Levies that guard our rivers against flooding. Nowadays our Government is more interested in stealing your money and your parents retirement in the form of Social Security. It is the only pool of money within the Federal Guidelines that has a surplus EVERY YEAR and our Government wants it. They never, however, talk about stopping the deduction from your salary.
