“There is no Constitutional basis for a tax on the wages of Americans living and working in the 50 states of the Union. Period, end of story.” – (1) Peter Gibbons, Tax Attorney
Aaron Russo: “There is no law that requires someone to file a 1040”
(2) Ron Paul, R-Texas: “No there isn’t.”
(3) Dr. Edwin Vieira, PhD, JD (both from Harvard). Apparently this chap is a noted expert on Constitutional law.
Peter Gibbons, Ron Paul, and Dr. Vieira are three well-qualified individuals on this topic. I don’t know every little nuance about them, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call them kooks, would you?
You have presented some interesting counter points so far, but can you provide the specific law that states that US citizens have to pay a tax on their personal wages/file a 1040?
