Show me the code/law that states you are lawfully bound to pay 1040A

1040a is a form, not a tax...You don't pay a 1040a...you file a 1040a and pay the required taxes.

Section 1 of the IRC clearly defines who owes what taxes on income.  Further, IRC section 6151 clearly requires that those taxes be paid when the return is due.  IRC section 6011(a) and 6012(a) requires that the return be filed if taxes are due as defined in section 1. 

I'll spell it out a bit more clearly since you're obviously not a lawyer:

Section 6012(a) says, in relevant part:

"(a)  General rule 
Returns with respect to income taxes under subtitle A shall be made by the following:

(1)
(A) Every individual having for the taxable year gross income which equals or exceeds the exemption amount"26 U.S.C. § 6012(a)

So, this says that a return "shall be made" by individuals who have a gross income exceeding the exemption.  "shall" in legal terms means it's a requirement.

So, how does one know if their gross income exceeds the exemption?  Section 1 tells us:  26 U.S.C § 1

So, between those two code sections, you can see when a return is required...now, when a return is required, payment is required with the return:

"Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, when a return of tax is required under this title or regulations, the person required to make such return shall, without assessment or notice and demand from the Secretary, pay such tax to the internal revenue officer with whom the return is filed, and shall pay such tax at the time and place fixed for filing the return (determined without regard to any extension of time for filing the return)."26 U.S.C. § 6151

Of course, most tax protesters can't put these three codes together, so they assume there is no law...that is nonsense.  You don't have to take my word for it, of course.  Every circuit court that has taken up the issue has determined that the payment of federal income taxes is mandatory as is the filing of a return.

The federal government rests its authority to collect income tax on the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution—the federal income tax amendment—which was allegedly ratified in 1913."The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."—The 16th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of AmericaAfter an extensive year-long nationwide research project, William J. Benson discovered that the 16th Amendment was not ratified by the requisite three-fourths of the states and that nevertheless Secretary of State Philander Knox had fraudulently declared ratification.It was a shocking revelation; it reached deep to the core of our American system of government.The DiscoveryArticle V of the U.S. Constitution defines the ratification process and requires three-fourths of the states to ratify any amendment proposed by Congress. There were fourty-eight states in the American Union in 1913, meaning that affirmative action of thirty-six was necessary for ratification. In February 1913, Secretary of State Philander Knox proclaimed that thirty-eight had ratified the Amendment.In 1984 Bill Benson began a research project, never before performed, to investigate the process of ratification of the 16th Amendment. After traveling to the capitols of the New England states and reviewing the journals of the state legislative bodies, he saw that many states had not ratified. He continued his research at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.; it was here that Bill found his Golden Key.This damning piece of evidence is a sixteen-page memorandum from the Solicitor of the Department of State, among whose duties is the provision of legal opinions for the Secretary of State. In this memorandum, the Solicitor lists the many errors he found in the ratification process.These four states are among the thirty-eight from which Philander Knox claimed ratification:California: The legislature never recorded any vote on any proposal to adopt the amendment proposed by Congress.Kentucky: The Senate voted on the resolution, but rejected it by a vote of nine in favor and twenty-two opposed.Minnesota: The State sent nothing to the Secretary of State in Washington.Oklahoma: The Senate amended the language of the 16th Amendment to have a precisely opposite meaning.Bill would like to thank those who've contributed or shown support in the fight against fraudulent taxation. Clickhere to help.When his project was finished at the end of 1984, Bill had visited the capitol of every state from 1913 and knew that not a single one had actually and legally ratified the proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution. Thirty-three states engaged in the unauthorized activity of altering the language of an amendment proposed by Congress, a power that the states do not possess.Since thirty-six states were needed for ratification, the failure of thirteen to ratify was fatal to the Amendment. This occurs within the major (first three) defects tabulated in Defects in Ratification of the 16th Amendment. Even if we were to ignore defects of spelling, capitalization and punctuation, we would still have only two states which successfully ratified.

Lol...so the "there is no law requiring one to pay taxes" argument failed and you move onto the "16th amendment never ratified" argument.  Lets go ahead and put that one to rest as well.

As a matter of fact, the 16th amendment has been ratified by 42 states.  William Benson, the proponent of the whackjob theory you're relying on, was convicted for fraud based on his theory.  In addition, see Brushaber v. Union Pacific R. Co. 240 U.S. 1

Also:

"the Secretary of State’s certification under authority of Congress that the sixteenth amendment has been ratified by the requisite number of states and has become part of the Constitution is conclusive upon the courts” United States v. Stahl, 792 F.2d 1438, 1441.

Every court that has looked at the ratification argument has rejected it as frivolous.  Mr. Benson lied, and a bunch of people believed it.  Nonetheless, the 16th amendment is law and has been since 1913.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is a private Corporation, incorporated in Delaware in1933, and operates under international treaty.  (See Public Law 94-564 Reorganization Plan #26)The IRS (the corporation) is acting as Agent under contract to “the bank” (The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and “the Fund” (The International Monetary Fund) a.k.a. the Treasury.The IRS is acting as the Agent of a Foreign Principal (Federal Reserve) under the terms of the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938.  The Federal Reserve is not a government agency.  It is a Foreign Principal. It is admittedly a private corporation, privately held by 12 families (one American and 11 foreign).  Those who rule the world under this umbrella are the Illuminati, the Bilderberger group, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission.IRS agents are directed and controlled by the corporate governor of “the Bank” and “the Fund” a.k.a. Secretary of the Treasury IRS, Puerto Rico (See Public Law 94-564, U.S. Government Manual 190/1991 & Treasury Delegation Order 150-10).IRS personnel are trained under the direction of the “Division of Human Resources” of the United Nations and the Commissioner (International), by the “Office of Personnel Management” which is under the direction of the Secretary General of the United Nations (Treasury Delegation Order #92)  (Executive Order 10422).The IRS is also an Agency of the International Criminal Police Organization, and solicits and collects information for 150 Foreign Powers (22 U.S.C.263a).The IRS is directly engaged in the solicitation and gathering legally protected information of a private and personal nature on everyone contained in their files of records, and does distribute that information to the other member agencies throughout the world without the knowledge or consent of the parties involved (22U.S.C.A. 611 (c) (II)).The Internal Revenue Service (International) lacks proper authority to act such as a Foreign Agents Registration statement (22 U.S.C.A. 612) and (18 U.S.C.A. 219 & 951).The IRS as a paramilitary organization may not impose military authority into civil affairs (D.O.A. 27100-70).The IRS acting as the Agent of a Foreign Principal, “the Bank” and “the Fund” under the United Nations Charter, Article 2, Section 7 prohibits the U.N. and its Administrative Agencies from “intervening in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state”.The IRS comes before the courts only as the non- registered Agent of a Foreign Principal, acting in the person of its own corporate capacity.Acting in its corporate capacity the IRS is engaged in commerce as a collection agency under contract.  None of the money that you pay in goes to any program or compelled benefit like you think it does.  Almost all of the income tax goes to pay the interest on the so-called “debt” to the Federal Reserve (for illegal fiat money conceived by our bureaucrats, and large corporations), not into the U.S. Treasury.  John F. Kennedy warned the people of this fraud and issued executive order # 11.110 on June 4, 1963, and the Treasury started to issue United States notes that looked like our familiar Federal Reserve Notes but only cost the people the cost of paper, ink and printing.  Within months he was dead.  Then Lyndon Johnson inactivated the executive order, and U.S. notes were withdrawn and replaced once again with Federal Reserve notes. Look on the back of any check you have written to the IRS.  It will say, “Pay to any branch of the Federal Reserve Bank”.  This is an illegal conversion of funds.  All government sponsored programs and compelled benefits come from money continuously borrowed from the Federal Reserve.  This is why our paper money is now described as a ‘note’ instead of a ‘silver certificate’.  It is illegally loaned in to existence, and has no value except for the faith the American people put in it.  A note for a thing is not the real thing.  When you use Federal Reserve Notes instead of real money (silver certificates, silver or gold), you are simply making a promise to pay, not actually paying. Since the dollar is a unit of measurement, just like a ‘pound’ of coffee or a ‘quart’ of milk, and there is nothing of hard value backing the dollar, what is it a dollar of?Sure, you buy goods and products with Federal Reserve Notes, but that which you have of appreciable value could be taken from you without due process of law, simply because you never owned the money in the first place. Look it up. Every time we spend a dollar, we are re-circulating a dollar that was loaned in to existence. It is because of this debt structure that our nation has a multi trillion-dollar deficit that can never be paid.  Your government has your property listed as collateral against the Federal Reserve Notes (promises to pay) they continuously borrow. The only thing that keeps homeowners from being on the street is the Federal Reserve not calling their note due.  When they do call their note due, every man, woman and child will then be their slave.Thomas Jefferson said, “ If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered”.The IRS acts on the presumption that assigned foundational agreement/instrument exists between the United States and the citizen/franchisee knowing that very few citizens/non citizens have the knowledge or the courage to resist their extortion.The IRS leadership has departmentalized the functions of tax collection to purposely limit and discourage the exchange of information and/or the lack of authority, between the departments to prevent low level employees from discovering the true nature of their assignments and thus prevent disclosure and whistle blowing.IRS references made to any authority for collection proceedings under Title 26 CFR, Subtitle A, are made under color of law as there is no collection authority authorized within Title 26, only penalties for failure to perform a given function.All Collection authority is found in Title 27 CFR, Part 70 and pertains only to alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives (Stamp taxes or duties).Many IRS agents often use alias names and are paid commissions, written to their real name, on what ever they steal from you.The IRS is unable to provide documented proof of the authorization that enables the IRS to operate outside the District of Columbia, and insular possessions of the United States, such as Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Philippines, and American Samoa, as required by Title 4, U.S.C., Section 72.The IRS uses false documents and presentments that have no legal authority behind them, i.e. 1040 form, Notice of Levy, etc., to solicit and extort money from you using the United States Postal Service.  They also falsely represent themselves on the outside of their envelopes, to be an agency of the United States department of Treasury.  Therefore, the Internal Revenue Service is guilty of the crime of Mail Fraud and False Representation.The IRS agents have no legal authority to demand anything from you, if there are no 3rd party informational documents sent to them with your name on it. They unlawfully and unconstitutionally misapply the revenue laws in an effort to compel you to supply them with confidential information when in fact, their own IRC, 6103, Section (h) and (j) says that they could use this information against you in a criminal proceeding.  This is a gross violation of 4th and 5th amendment rights, which are legally protected by the U.S. Constitution. This is pure extortion.   You have the lawful right to correct informational documents, such as W2's, and 1099's, and demand that they recognize you as one “who does not enjoy the privilege of federally connected employment”.  When are the American people going to wake up and realize that our so-called leaders are co-conspirators with the most evil organization ever contrived?  This is the vilest fraud ever perpetuated on a free people.  People in this country need to ask themselves if they were created for the purposes of the IRS and those who conspire with them, or were they created for the Glory of God.  Are we going to continue giving to these ungodly, corrupt, and spiritually wicked people the power that belongs to God?  In the book of Genesis, Adam and Eve gave us the first example of the consequences of ‘obedience without question’ to someone other than Almighty God. The result was separation from God, and His fellowship. If it is not of God, it is of the devil.  This is a very simple truth that will never change.

Now you're just getting :tinfoil: on us with talk of Bilderberg and illuminati.

I tried to educate you after your previous incorrect posts, but this one is a bridge too far.  It is clear that you are one of those conspiracy theorists who believes everything he sees on a youtube video as long as it speaks ill of the government.

You should probably hang out in the Conspiracy Forum.

References?


And my questions. Are you an anarchist? So what do you intend to do about this "fact"(no references)?

exposing facts is one thing but you haven't presented facts to us.

As an anarchist how do you live your life?

Do you use chemical products? Do you obey the state? How do you live?

I agree with Enlil. It seems to me if anarchy is worth while then it would technically be a "good" thing if we all converted to anarchy. The problem is that nobody would agree and we might end up with a bunch of communes battling with each other. It seems primitive.

Hypothetically speaking....

Imagine America has turned into a massive nation based on anarchy, communes every where; maybe even peace. But what happens when another country decides to come in and kill us all yet we have no leaders?

They would come in and rape all our wives and daughters but there would be no way to stop it because the lack of organization.

What does anarchy say about that?

Yes, it is vague and out of date. And it's true that not all anarchists are moral/ethical. There are more specific terms but "anarchy" encompasses other philosophies besides my own personal beliefs. I didn't want to exclude other types of anarchists, even though it's starting to look like I am alone anyway.

I never said we should give up on America. The state and the people are not the same. I truly hope America will move past this religion of statism and embrace freedom and cooperation.

You can walk in the woods and swim and write in a free society. Those are not benefits of statism. That is freedom. You do those things despite government, not because of it.

First, I'd like to point out that every time this country was legitimately attacked by foreigners, it was a direct result of US foreign policy. Without the state we would be less likely to be invaded.

However, in the event that we are, it would be advantageous to have a decentralized defense. Think about a horse: cut off the head and it dies. Control the head and you control the whole animal. Now compare myc. Cut a piece off and you have taken is a piece, which will grow back.

We see this in Afghanistan today where poor cave dwellers have fended off the largest and most well funded military on Earth for over a decade.

And every time a woman is legitimately raped, it is a direct result of what she is wearing...


Way to blame the victim, dude.

You can't be serious. I am certainly not blaming the victims. I am blaming the federal government.

Another deterrent for armed conflict is good trade relations. Without taxation and bureaucracy. goods would be cheaper, increasing exports.

The federal government actually benefits from attacks. It gives them an opportunity to expand in size and scope.

YES!!




I wouldn't be so sure of that. ACCORDING to Wikipedia there are many variations of anarchists, even non violent ones.

So what does that say about Anarchy?

Maybe the term is too vague. Maybe it's out of date and needs a reformation.

I wouldn't be so quick to give up on America. With the right minds working together it can be brilliant. At least I can walk outside through the woods. I can swim in the ocean. I can write.

So?



The term is very Vague. Anarchy is more of a state of mind like Christianity or Islam.  Its not something you can truly grasp. I mentioned before its only doable for short periods of time. Im sure there is some Anarchy going on some where in Syria at he moment.
I lived with the Y2K nuts. an anarchist group living in the middle of no where with no rules only Morals, expecting a major computer crash and civilization to crumble to the point of having to start over. Ha ha ha I never thought that could happen but it was a good ride. It was for a time Utopia but although peaceful it eventually crated its own little form of government. and with that Anarchy ends. The only way to have Anarchy is to live with out any human contact, become a hermit in the woods.

If it was not for America and there Freedom I would not be able to live as an Anarchist. God bless America.
