Dense huh? Ok, let me put it a little simpler for you guys.

Does more government expenses (ie, foreign wars) increase the need to tax? Obviously yes. I never said that it doesn't. What I'm saying is that everybody jumping on this video's bandwagon need to get their own opinions straight. If you believe the government is in to many countries right now, then THAT is what's wrong in your opinion, NOT that paying an income tax is bad.

Also, is the economy broken? I honestly don't know, I don't have nearly enough facts or econ education to begin to know. However, again, the economy being broken is one thing, not paying your income taxes because some dumb video says you don't have to is another.

Stanley, of course you can diverge from the original topic, but when you respond to an argument of mine and quote me while doing so, you're own argument should probably be related... you know? Intelligent debat/discussion of a serious topic and all that.

DruSam, like I said already, I'm not saying wars, and the economy in general don't have an impact on taxes. I'm also not saying that we shouldn't keep our government in line. I'm merely responding to Jon's initial post and the video itself. Like I said in my first post, I was going to ignore this completely, but it seems to be spreading rather quickly. You mention that people need to be informed... duh. People should also learn to think for themselves. Everybody is jumping onto this video going "OMG, we don't have to pay taxes. Our government is stealing from us!!!". That's BS. We DO have to pay taxes, well at least unless we want to chance going to jail. Yes, some people got out of it because some feeble minded jurors fell for the "show us the law" line that's repeated a million times in the video. My point is the fact that there is no written law for it doesn't change the fact that decades have gone by with our government running off the idea that there IS a such thing as an income tax law. If we strip it away, our economy will likely suffer much more than what everybody is bitching about now. Sure, it'd be nice if there were an actual written law and it'd be great if Congress could go ahead and pass one, but if they did, you all would then cry out "OMG, SEE!!! We've been ripped off this whole time! We want all our money back!" The law is implied. If you choose not to pay, you are doing so knowing full well that you are going to bring the IRS and the government down on you. Also, if you choose to not pay, you are screwing over those that do pay taxes.

Dense? Uh... please.
