Exactly. This is more legalistic splitting hairs and “it depends on what the definition of is is.”
Wasn’t their a guy going around stating that paying income taxes is unconstitutional and wrote a book about how you shouldn’t pay them. Both he and those who took his advice got sent up the river. Not that I think income tax IS constitutional, but ummm the federales can do as they please and Roberts just gave them MORE ammo to run roughshod over liberty.
At least one. Their line of reasoning goes like this: it's contrary to law for the IRS to tax an individual unless he (implicitly) consents to being treated as a corporation by filing a return and/or not challenging any federal income tax withholding. Consquently, a kid who gets his first job should refuse to file a tax return, send a letter to the IRS saying he explicitly does not consent to being treated as a corporation, and challenge any income-tax withholding of his wages in court on those grounds.
Needless to say, it's never worked. They can say the government lied 'til they're blue in the face, but the fix is in. Complying with the IRS is not voluntary.
