People in the Tax Honesty movement are not tax protesters. They are people who want our tax laws administered honestly and lawfully. However, the truth is that most Americans living, working, and deriving their income from WITHIN the united States, do not make "taxable income" as defined by law. Most Americans have been deceived by their own government into paying an income tax they never owed in the first place.
Time to kick open a big can of worms. I came across this tax argument a year or two ago, and it certainly seems plausible. Found on a number of web sites, you are directed to certain portions of the US Code and the Federal Regulations, as well as a bunch of court decisions. They explain their interpretation of what these various links mean, and why it follows that you don"t owe any income taxes.
The argument (quickly stated) goes like this:
1. All people legally subject to taxation by Congress under the Constitution must pay that tax.
2. The 16th Amendment would allow income taxes Constitutionally.
3.
However, income tax law does not require individuals to pay taxes on employment income, except under certain specific clauses.
4. The vast majority of current workers are not covered under the above clauses, and thus
do not legally owe any income tax.
For a much more in-depth view, please see
here and
here.
So here"s what I"m looking for. I"m fairly decent at reading law and figuring out what it means, but this one is a little bit over my head. I need a lawyer (i.e.,
KJ) completely unrelated to these folks to read up on it, and let us know if it is legit.
Anyone willing to take a crack at this?

Sorry, but that explanation is load of crap. The argument has been made many times, and unfortunately is most known for being sold by unscrupulous advisors to low-income uneducated taxpayers unequipped to realize how ridiculous it is. The Sixteenth Amendment was ratified legally (and overwhelmingly) and provides that congress can tax income "from whatever source derived" i.e., all income. The Amendment ...surprise...amends the constitution so that an income tax need not be classified as either a direct or indirect tax, it is just a specifically permitted tax. To assert that the wool was pulled over our eyes is also disingenous, as congress, as the elected representatives of the people, had twice passed income taxes in the 19th century that were struck down by the Supreme Court as being unconstitutional. The 16th Amendment was a popular amendment to overturn the Court"s finding and embrace the public"s desire for a fair and easily admistered tax on income. The modern tax code has become overwhemingly complex, but it is still based on the proposition that income subject to tax is "all income, from whatever source derived."
