I’m sorry, but for most of us, working is not a voluntary activity.

Generally, the average working stiff is not collecting what the law defines as “wages” because the activities they are performing for their employer are not taxable activities that produce what the law calls “wages”.

“Wages” for income tax purposes is a legal “term of art” that does not mean all that one is paid.

26 U.S. Code § 3402 - Income tax collected at source

(e) Included and excluded wages

If the remuneration paid by an employer to an employee for services performed during one-half or more of any payroll period of not more than 31 consecutive days constitutes wages, all the remuneration paid by such employer to such employee for such period shall be deemed to be wages; but if the remuneration paid by an employer to an employee for services performed during more than one-half of any such payroll period does not constitute wages, then none of the remuneration paid by such employer to such employee for such period shall be deemed to be wages.

“Wages” is limited to activities Article 1 of the Constitution allows Congress to tax, these are called “excise” taxable activities and the wages/gains/profits that are acquired by such activities are connected to the public treasury. If the activities you perform for your employer are in no way connected to the “public purse”, that is, the source of those wages are derived from your employers access to the use of the public purse, then your “remuneration” is not considered as “wages” for purposes of taxation.

And for the record, we discovered the truth over 10 years ago, since that discovery, we educated ourselves and have applied the tax laws as they are written to every penny we take in. We file the proper forms as the law requires and in the past 10 years, we have not paid one penny in “income tax” and have not suffered any retribution for exercising our due diligence in applying the law as it is written to all earnings that come into our bank account.
