Speaker 0 outlines a stance of widespread tax resistance among Americans who deem the government corrupt and unrepresentative. He states, “there were so many people, mostly American patriots, who said, I don't care what the consequences are. I will not continue to pay taxes to a corrupt government that doesn't represent me.” He claims the IRS is already down “25% from last year.” He then criticizes those who have “never worked a day in their life but yet wanna make rules for the rest of us,” arguing they “overdo themselves and kill the goose that laid the golden egg.” He describes consequences of the government’s actions as not only crashing the economy but creating a scenario where people “have a choice” between basic needs and paying taxes: “Keep a roof over your family's head or pay taxes. Feed your children or pay taxes. Live a little bit like a fucking human being or pay your fucking taxes.” He asserts that many will be unable to pay taxes this year, and those who “just up and decide fuck them and file exempt on their fucking forms” will “totally overwhelm the IRS,” including “those 80,000 gun toting Nazi motherfuckers who have been harassing us for years.” The message implies a public record of asking the IRS for the law that states a wage earner must pay taxes, and claims they cannot provide it “because it was never legal in the first place.” He elaborates that “when you work and somebody gives you money or some form of compensation, that's not profit. That's an exchange, and it was never intended to be taxes.” The consequence, he says, is that “the government's gonna self destruct. It's gonna totally overwhelm the system.” He uses imagery to argue that people should resist, saying, “let those motherfuckers try driving their car with no gas in it.” In closing, he invites audience participation: “If you like what I'm saying, give me a hell yeah and a fuck you to their paperwork.”

Speaker 0 discusses suing the federal government over taxes and questions whether it is fair to ask the American people to pay for that. He says, “Anything I win, I’m gonna give a 100% to charity,” but adds that it still takes money from the American people. He argues that Americans already give money to charity, stating, “They give away $40,000,000,000 a year to charity, our government.” He emphasizes that anything he wins from that would go to charity, while claiming that the release of one’s tax returns is “totally illegal,” noting that people go to jail for that and that a person has already been found who did it. He mentions that “based upon that and other things we did, and we did sue.” He reiterates that any winnings would be given “100% to charity,” describing the charities as “really good, very, very good and respected charities,” and ends with asking whether the listener will decide if he wins.

The speaker initially believed that there was a law requiring people to file tax returns, but after researching for three and a half months, they couldn't find a clear statute that made a person liable. They realized that the government collects taxes to generate revenue, but they were unaware of the complexities involved. The speaker attended a meeting where someone argued that the IRS lacks authority, but they initially dismissed it as taking things out of context. However, after a conversation with the person, the speaker agreed to research the matter further. They delved into the Internal Revenue Code and found sections that seemed relevant but didn't provide a clear answer. The speaker's research led them to question their own authority to enforce tax laws, ultimately leading to their resignation. They discovered that the Internal Revenue Manual restricts enforcement due to constitutional issues. The speaker believes that if more people knew about the government's methods, they would stop filing tax returns.

The speaker owns 12,000 rental units acquired through debt, stating that more debt leads to more property and less tax. They believe paying taxes is a Marxist idea and against American principles. According to the speaker, Marx considered a progressive income tax essential for spreading communism. They claim America was founded as a tax-free nation until the creation of the Federal Reserve and the IRS in 1913. They assert that they legally pay no taxes, while those who work harder pay higher taxes, which they equate to communism. The speaker concludes it's an American duty not to pay taxes, citing the Communist Manifesto.

The speaker discusses how the federal income tax negatively impacted Americans by shifting the government's revenue source from tariffs to taxing individuals. They argue that tariffs on international corporations would be a better revenue source, promoting American manufacturing and job growth. The speaker highlights the historical importance of tariffs and criticizes the impact of the income tax on American prosperity. They emphasize the need to educate future generations on these issues.

A former IRS commissioner is interviewed about the tax code and income tax laws. He argues that the IRS code is voluntary compliance, not mandatory, and defends the IRS's actions. The interviewer challenges the legality of income tax on labor, citing Supreme Court decisions. The former commissioner dismisses the arguments and asserts the IRS's authority. The interview ends with a confrontation, revealing a lack of transparency in tax laws and enforcement. The interviewer questions the legality of income tax on wages and calls for the IRS to show the law to the public.

The speakers in the video discuss their experiences and research regarding the requirement to file a tax return and pay income tax. Speaker 0 initially couldn't find a specific law mandating tax returns, leading to their resignation. Speaker 1 left the IRS after raising concerns about the agency's violation of the law and people's rights. Speaker 2 conducted research to win a $50,000 challenge, but couldn't find the law either. They believe that if the truth is revealed, it would expose a fraudulent system. Speaker 3 was surprised to hear IRS agents say there was no law requiring tax filing or payment. Both Speaker 0 and Speaker 2 admit to not filing tax returns, and they mention that millions of others also don't file.

Speaker 0: There is no law. And to date, nobody has been able to show that there is a law for the average American citizen working day in and day out to pay an income tax. Speaker 1: But We, The People Foundation for Constitutional Education put a full page ad in The USA Today on 07/07/2000. And within the body of that ad was a $50,000 challenge for anyone that could show the law. And to me, $50,000 is a lot of money. So I went after that and did the research based on the fact that I thought, let's put this baby to bed. I'm hearing all these rumors. You know, I'm gonna kill two birds with one stone. I'll answer these people's questions they're asking me, and then I win this $50,000. And, you know, based on the research that I did throughout the year 2000 and that I'm still doing, I have not found that law. I've asked congress. We've asked a lot of people in the IRS, IRS commissioners, helpers. They can't answer because if they answer, the American people are gonna know that this whole thing is a fraud. Speaker 2: There is no law. There is no law that requires the average American worker in the private sector to pay a direct unapportioned tax on their labor and compensation for services. There is no law. Speaker 3: I really expected that, of course, there's a law that you can point to in the law book, the code, that requires you to file a tax return. Of course, there is. I mean, I don't know what it is right then as we as he was speaking to me, but sure. So, naively, I agreed to go off and research it and get back to him. Three and a half months later, I was at that point where I couldn't find the statute that clearly made a person liable, at least not me and, most people I know. And I had no no choice in my mind except to to resign. Speaker 4: I had to leave the IRS because I presented, evidence that I had accumulated indicating that the agency was violating the law and violating people's rights. And I asked the agency for a response to my sincere concerns, and the answer I got was that they would not respond to my concerns and that they would, provide me with the paperwork necessary to tender my resignation. Speaker 5: You can look through the statutes and look for the law that requires you to pay. And when you do that, you can't identify a law that requires the average person in America who earns a wage and works in private business to pay an income tax. Speaker 2: American citizens, along with the foundation, have been asking the IRS to specifically provide them with the the underlying legal foundation upon which they administer and enforce the personal income tax laws in our country. Speaker 3: At the national level, when people would attempt to contact somebody of a much higher authority, say the cons the commissioner, same kind of thing. They wouldn't get they would get answers that were in effect non answers. Speaker 6: You have to understand that an agency which will unlawfully impose a tax that doesn't exist it's not gonna care. If we, the people, don't know what our rights are, they're not gonna tell us. Speaker 4: If Americans just learned that the IRS was actually knowingly deceiving them, that that enough that would be enough for them to rise up and put a stop to it. Speaker 7: 100% of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the federal debt. All individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services taxpayers expect from government. People have been told, you know, that you need this income tax system to fund government, is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, my question is, well, if that's true, how did we fund government from 1776 to 1913? Speaker 8: The main purpose of the income tax is not to raise revenue, but to redistribute wealth and to control society. And a lot Speaker 9: of people might say, well, gee, if there wasn't an income tax, what would happen to education? They don't understand that education is paid for, for the most part, out of state and local taxes, your property tax. People might say, well, how are we going to build and maintain our highways if there's no money coming into the government? We need our highways. There is a tax on every gallon of gasoline that people buy. Proceeds from the income tax do not pay for highway construction. Speaker 10: I believe that in both spirit and substance, our tax system has come to be un American. Death and taxes may be inevitable, but unjust taxes

I couldn't find a law requiring me to file taxes, so I resigned. The IRS wouldn't address my concerns and asked me to resign. I searched for the law to win $50,000 but couldn't find it. Trained IRS agents said there's no law for Americans to file taxes. I haven't filed taxes since leaving, and many others don't file either.

A man was being tried for not filing his income tax. The defense questioned whether he could be innocent while still not filing. It was revealed that not filing taxes is not a felony at the federal level. The case was then moved to the state level. The defense questioned an IRS agent who claimed he didn't write anything down, but video evidence showed otherwise. The prosecutor attacked the defendant's character. The jury asked for a copy of the law but didn't receive it. They realized that if the defendant wasn't required to file federal taxes, then the Illinois law requiring tax filing would be nullified. The jury found the defendant not guilty, surprising the judge. Other individuals who claimed there was no law requiring income tax filing also won their cases.

The speaker argues against the idea of paying taxes, claiming that a progressive income tax is a tool for spreading Marxism and communism. They point out that America was founded as a tax-free nation, citing the Boston Tea Party in 1773. However, in 1913, the Federal Reserve and the IRS were created, leading to the introduction of taxes. The speaker believes that those who work harder and earn more money end up paying higher taxes, which they equate to communism. They assert that it is an American duty to refuse to pay taxes, referencing the Communist Manifesto as support for their stance.

The speaker asserts that you cannot legally pay your taxes. They state: “tax dollars have been spent in a global crime syndicate,” and “you now know this and it’s provable,” which means “if you willingly pay your taxes you now are a willing participant and co conspirator.” The guidance given is for when you file an exemption: “This is what you’re gonna say when you file an exemption. Owe back taxes? This is what you’re gonna tell your agent.” The agent will threaten you, and you should respond with, “I said that I will not be a willing participant in a global crime syndicate.” The speaker says you should repeat it, “and you repeat it again.” They advise to “play the congress game” and claim that “you legally cannot pay your taxes now that you know this. It is against the law.”

**Speaker 0:** 212 Democrats voted against no tax on tips, Social Security, and overtime. If the government makes money and spends it responsibly, taxes aren't necessary. The new administration is holding the government accountable, and people are mad about it. **Speaker 1:** There's no tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security in the budget resolution. Taxes are normal. This utopia where nobody pays taxes isn't going to work. Read the budget before lecturing people about it.

"We got them. We finally got them. We caught the IRS red handed." "They're frauds, fabricated, phantom tax returns the IRS claims that you filed but can't produce because they never existed." "Here's the crime. An IRS agent falsified the records." "A supervisor covered it up." "The DOJ marched into court and used those fake records against Americans and then admitted under oath they have no signed returns to back it up." "That's not sloppy paperwork. That's a RICO fraud, a criminal enterprise operating under color of law." "And it doesn't stop there. Judges look the other way." "Multilayered fraud, IRS, DOJ, and the judicial system." "It's time to shut down this rogue agency once and for all." "Chew on this, America."

Marjorie Taylor Greene discusses an interview she conducted with Paymon Matajeda of the Freedom Law School, focusing on a contentious issue in America: opposition to paying income taxes and the broader concerns about the tax system, debt, foreign entanglements, fraud, waste, and accountability. She then introduces Joe Bannister, a former IRS special agent who stopped paying taxes and who joins the discussion to elaborate on his experiences. Joe Bannister explains his background: he started with the IRS in November 1993, was sworn in in Oakland, California, and his first duty station was San Francisco. He grew up in San Jose and later served as an IRS special agent in the criminal investigation division. He recounts meeting Paymon in 1997 after being influenced by a radio host who discussed the notion that income tax wasn’t required for the majority of Americans. At that time, Bannister was an actively serving agent, working in roles such as asset forfeiture coordinator for the Central California District, organized crime task force coordinator, and firearms instructor. He describes his early curiosity and the long process of investigating these ideas, including studying at law libraries, the IRS law library, and other sources. Bannister details that, although he was an IRS agent, he began privately researching the Federal income tax during off hours in 1997-1998, driven by a belief in upholding the Constitution. He describes how, during a large search warrant operation in Southern California, he encountered a library in a suspect’s house that contained books he himself had on his own shelf, which reinforced his suspicions. He recounts standing up to senior agents who wanted to seize more property than was authorized, arguing as asset forfeiture coordinator that they could not take items without justification. This incident marked a watershed moment, reinforcing his concern about supports for the law and the Constitution. Bannister explains that by 1999, after receiving information from Paymon and credible outsiders—lawyers, CPAs, and other patriots—he had accumulated evidence, including Supreme Court case law, the Code of Federal Regulations, the Internal Revenue Code, and IRS internal documents (like the IRS Manual) showing that the IRS’s authority was more limited than commonly taught. He describes discovering that the same books he read were also in the IRS’s own library, indicating that the information existed within the agency but was not publicly taught or applied in prosecutions. He recounts deciding to tell his supervisors about his findings. He prepared a factual report, focusing on the evidence and avoiding opinion, and presented it along with a transmittal letter to his group manager and higher-ups, explaining that he could not serve “two masters” and that he had an obligation to the Constitution. The response was to isolate him: within a few days, he was told the agency would not address his questions and would provide paperwork to resign; he was offered administrative leave and questioned about moving up the chain of command. On February 25, 1999 (his birthday), he resigned from the IRS after determining he could not continue in the role given his concerns about constitutional compliance. Following resignation, Bannister returned to private practice as a CPA and worked at a firm connected to KPMG alumni, but encountered resistance when refusing to sign a W-4 withholding form without proof of a legal requirement. He asserts that there was a lack of familiarity with these tax issues among his colleagues, including at the CPA firm. He mentions that the IRS later audited him after he left, which led to revelations about fraudulent coding in their system, including a claim that he had filed a 1040A and asked the IRS to calculate his tax, which he disputes. He explains that the 1040A mechanism is something the IRS allegedly used to generate assessments against non-filers, indicating the potential breadth of this issue. Bannister explains that he and Paymon later spoke publicly through forums such as the We the People Foundation for Constitutional Education, symposiums at the National Press Club, and appearances on C-SPAN and the New York Times. He notes that he was indicted in November 2004 on four federal felonies, including conspiring to defraud the United States and preparing three false federal income tax returns, while having not filed a federal return for five years. His defense was led by Robert Bernhoft, who also defended Wesley Snipes. Bannister was acquitted in June 2005 after seven months of preparation, with the prosecution’s own expert unable to point to any false or fraudulent entries on the returns Bannister prepared. He emphasizes that he has not paid federal income taxes since then. The interview also covers Bannister’s reflections on the IRS’s broader practices, including a claim that the IRS lied to its own computer systems to generate assessments against non-cooperators, based on transcripts and FOIA requests. He mentions the website agentfortruth.com and his book, Investigating the Federal A: A Report to the American People (renamed in 2019 from its 1999 title). He closes by reiterating his stance that the information is a factual account of his experiences and that individuals can investigate these claims independently.

Democrats plan to expand the IRS with 87,000 new agents, according to the administration's treasury department. One speaker claims to have not paid federal income taxes for 30 years, blaming international bankers and the Federal Reserve. Another speaker criticizes Congress for implementing income tax in 1909 and questions why technological advances haven't made everyone prosperous. They propose a plan to drain the Washington DC swamp. The same speaker claims to be the number one NMD IRS and pays taxes, but also mentions voting for Barack and Hillary as an American thing to do.

In 1894, Congress attempted to implement an income tax but it was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. In 1913, they tried again, but the Supreme Court stated that the 16th Amendment did not grant new taxation powers. Therefore, there is no constitutional basis for taxing the wages of American citizens in the 50 states. A letter from Daniel Inouye's office confirms that there is no specific law requiring individuals to pay income tax, and no one has been able to prove otherwise.

There is a law requiring tax returns, but many struggle to find it. After extensive research, some individuals, including former IRS agents, concluded there is no clear statute making citizens liable to file or pay income tax. They resigned from the IRS after presenting evidence of legal violations and received no satisfactory responses. A challenge was issued for anyone to prove the law exists, but no one has succeeded. Despite widespread belief in the legality of income tax, many question its legitimacy. A class action lawsuit was initiated against the IRS, highlighting the agency's refusal to clarify the legal basis for income tax enforcement. Some citizens maintain that paying taxes is a civic duty to support government services, while others argue for transparency regarding tax laws.

A man was on trial for not filing his income tax. The defense questioned whether he could be innocent while still not filing. It was revealed that not filing taxes is not a felony in the federal government. To get a conviction, they had to involve the state. The defense questioned an IRS agent who claimed he didn't write anything down, but video evidence showed otherwise. The prosecutor attacked the defendant's character. The jury asked for the law requiring tax returns, but the judge denied their request. They discovered that the Illinois state law requiring tax returns is dependent on the federal law. The jury realized that if there is no federal law, the defendant isn't breaking any laws. They found the defendant not guilty, shocking the judge. Other cases also challenged the requirement to file income tax returns, resulting in acquittals.

The speaker, a former IRS agent, shares her experience working for the IRS and her realization that the income tax system is fraudulent. She explains how the IRS uses tactics to make people believe they owe more money than they actually do. After leaving the IRS, she researched and discovered evidence that the income tax is not necessary for running the country. She also discusses the Federal Reserve and its non-federal nature, as well as the media's influence in suppressing this information. The speaker encourages people to do their own research and make informed decisions about paying taxes. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the system and taking action to bring the country back on track.

There is no law requiring payment of taxes in the US. The IRS manual states they have no jurisdiction over US workers, only those abroad. Share this info and challenge the IRS to prove tax obligations.

The speaker discusses the concept of income tax, stating that the government taxes wealth to prevent competition. They argue that the state is a form of organized religion, using George Orwell's idea of double speak and double think. The speaker highlights how definitions of words, like wages and property, have changed over time, leading to confusion in taxation laws.

The speaker interviews Sheldon Cohn, a former IRS commissioner, about the belief that there is no law requiring Americans to pay income tax. Cohn argues that voluntary compliance is used as a term for traffic laws, but it does not apply to income tax. The speaker questions the definition of income and cites Supreme Court rulings that state income is not wages. They also discuss the lack of a law making individuals liable to file a tax return. Cohn dismisses the Supreme Court's relevance to the IRS and the speaker concludes that the IRS operates through intimidation and fear. They challenge the IRS to show a statute allowing a direct tax on wages.

I own 12,000 rental units using debt to minimize taxes. Taxation is seen as a Marxist concept, with progressive income tax aiding communism. America was tax-free until 1913 when the IRS was established. I legally avoid taxes, while hard workers face higher taxes, resembling communism. It's our duty as Americans to resist paying taxes, as outlined in the Communist Manifesto. Translation: I own 12,000 rental units using debt to minimize taxes.

Sherry Peel Jackson, a former IRS agent and CPA, discovered that there is no law and that the IRS is the biggest fraud. She researched and found that no one could identify the section of the Internal Revenue Code that makes a typical worker liable for income tax. She also learned about the non-enforcement pocket commission she had as an administrative clerk. Sherry realized that the Federal Reserve is not federal and that income tax does not go towards running the country. She exposed these truths and educated people about the system. She emphasized the need to unite and understand what is happening with our money.
