Believe it or not, the Income Tax isn't the problem per se , it's the overblown convoluted code that is the issue, along with crooked tax Court's. A book called Cracking the Code from Lost Horizons.com is a worth while buy and read on the subject. No I get no kickbacks or know this person personally. If we all knew and applied the law, 70% of the US population wouldn't be liable for the tax.  These are sneeky con men who wrote it. For instance... As defined in the IRS code. The TERM " trade or business" is defined as "the function of a public office.". They twist shit around using custom meanings to everyday things that fool us into thinking we owe it when we don't. It's a great microchasm(sp?) For how the whole system works. Lie, cheat, misrepresent, con, and keep you down. Pisses me off just thinking about it.fking CROOKS!
