The main idea to get from the movie is not that Americans don't have to pay taxes, but rather that our entire monetary system is screwed over in a way that ruins our most basic freedoms.

I agree, though, that it explains this rather poorly. The focus on the secondary tax thing and this "New World Order"-police-state-stuff does a disservice to a very serious issue. The fiat money system (central bank system) we have right now (not just in the US, but also in Europe) is a serious threat to any sound economy.
