Folks, something else these IRS-friendly posters won't tell you about our court system and their figures is the common practice of prosecutors in big-time drug cases (where they bust people who operate methamphetamine labs or dealers caught with 1,000 pounds of pot) getting the defendant to plead guilty to "income tax" evasion with a promise of no extra jail time. This is done all the time so the government can inflate and distort its own statistics on the "income tax" for the sole purpose of keeping the populace in fear and subjugation.
Remember, this is "tax season" and the mainstream media gears up hand-in-hand with the government PR machines every year -- same time, same station -- to keep you down!
So we've got proof (as if we needed more) from this article that the government routinely engages in forgery, perjury, mail fraud and extortion.
We also have a great deal of evidence that TP gurus engage in the same practices as well as sell their wares to the gullible and and easily influenced.

Agiprop is what they call a statement such as yours.
However, the real solution is to end all income and payroll taxes, corporate and individual.
Patrick Henry, Virginia Ratifying Convention June 12, 1788:
- "the oppression arising from taxation, is not from the amount but, from the mode -- a thorough acquaintance with the condition of the people, is necessary to a just distribution of taxes. The whole wisdom of the science of Government, with respect to taxation, consists in selecting the mode of collection which will best accommodate to the convenience of the people."
- It is fairer to tax people on what they extract from the economy, as roughly measured by their consumption, than to tax them on what they produce for the economy, as roughly measured by their income
[Montesquieu wrote in Spirit of the Laws, XIII,c.14:]
- "A capitation is more natural to slavery; a duty on merchandise is more natural to liberty, by reason it has not so direct a relation to the person."
--Thomas Jefferson: copied into his Commonplace Book.James Wilson, Pennsylvania Ratifying Convention
4 Dec. 1787 Elliot 2:466--68
- No man is obliged to consume more than he pleases, and each buys in proportion only to his consumption. The price of the commodity is blended with the tax, and the person is often not sensible of the payment

(Farrand's Records)
James Mchenry before the Maryland House of Delegates.
Maryland Novr. 29th 1787--
Appendix A, CXLVIa, page 149, S9.
- "Convention have also provided against any direct or Capitation Tax but according to an equal proportion among the respective States: This was thought a necessary precaution though it was the idea of every one that government would seldom have recourse to direct Taxation, and that the objects of Commerce would be more than Sufficient to answer the common exigencies of State and should further supplies be necessary, the power of Congress would not be exercised while the respective States would raise those supplies in any other manner more suitable to their own inclinations --"
