[Summary of Brian's entry to a local Austin paper, who doesn't credit our taglines, so we return the favor. -MJT]

Per multiple US Supreme Court decisions, the 16th Amendment to the US constitution does NOT confer new taxing authority to the US government. As such ratification is meaningless in regards to the functioning of the income tax and the IRS.

The IRS laws hinges entirely on the individual citizen requesting his income be treated as taxable. The 'voluntary compliance,' clause.

" . . . It is unfortunate that the reality of this voluntarism is reinforced by ignorant and vindictive agents, backed by corrupt judges, and executed by morons with guns and shackles.

"In what is left of our country, war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. Our ignorance is the strength of the state. It is time for this ignorance to end. I applaud Aaron Russo for his effort in this matter because 'expecting to be ignorant and free is to expect what never was and can never be.'" -- Brian Jurek
