I've gotten several emails regarding my various articles that mention the IRS, Income Tax, and actually paying your taxes (Zeitgeist and The Obama Deception for instance). Even if you disagree with me that it's legal for them to tax you, one thing never changes:
If you don't pay your taxes, the IRS can still throw you in jail, no matter how much you defend yourself on the basis that they have no legal right to.
It's just not movie stars, rappers, and crime bosses that get arrested on tax evasion, but regular people do too. That's why companies like Tax Masters (the one with the fat guy in the commercial) even exist, because if "well, it's not constitutional!" was a real legal defense when it came to not paying income taxes, far more people would do it.
Let me hip you to a little piece of information regarding the State. The State doesn't give a damn whether or not something is legal (see COINTELPRO), it only cares whether or not it can get away with it. So, even if I'm 100% wrong on my articles regarding income tax, if you don't pay, you can get into some serious shit, and prison isn't the best place to be if you're some kind of minarchist tax hero.
To clarify things, as far as the State is concerned (and they're the ones who enforce the laws), income tax is perfectly legal and you have to pay it. And anyone who tells you that income tax goes to pay the Federal Reserve debt is wrong, and should stop listening to idiots like Ron Paul's brother Wayne Paul and Alex Jones who don't know the first damn thing about taxes or government, just what gets people fired up.
If you're in trouble with the IRS, from what I've read/heard over the years, negotiating a payment with the IRS, even if it's far lower than what you owe, sometimes gets them off your back all together. If you think "income tax is unconstitutional" is going to work, go ahead and give it a shot, I'm sure Wesley Snipes didn't consider it at all.
A related article to read is "Can you go to jail for not paying your taxes?" on Debtprison.com, just so you're aware I'm not the only person saying this.
