This bill was forced upon congress by the likes of rockefeller.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, the DOJ and IRS decided not to let the Lawrence case proceed because it would reveal one critical and damning fact:
The PRA law protects those that fail to file IRS bootleg Form 1040
The DOJ knew that it stood a significant chance of losing the case, and if that happened, the press and others would quickly spread the word, and leave only fools to ever file a 1040 again. Oscar Stilley’s pleadings and documents made these points quite clear:
IRS Form 1040 violates the federal Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and is therefore a legally invalid form.
Under the Public Protection clause of the PRA, no person can be penalized for failing to file a 1040 if the IRS fails to fully comply with the PRA.
The PRA statutes explicitly provide that a PRA challenge is a complete defense and can be raised in any administrative or judicial proceeding.
The IRS Individual Form 1040 has not and cannot comply with the requirements of the PRA because no existing statute authorizes the IRS to impose or collect the federal income tax from individuals. That lack of bona fide authority makes it impossible for IRS to avoid violating the PRA.
The Oscar Stilley and Robert Lawrence case was not dismissed
because the IRS couldn't add, come on that one is ridiculous! Wouldn't an
organization such as the IRS whose entire "business" is literally in numbers
have some of the best people in the world for working with numbers?! That
one is just common sense.
Aside from that, Robert Lawrence's case was
dismissed "with prejudice" meaning he can never be tried for that "crime"
again. Now why would someone such as the IRS request that type of dismissal just because they messed up his numbers for one year?.. hmm, doesn't make much sense, do you have any other excuses or mistruths you'd like to try? Additionally, any such forms that have NO LAW supporting them cannot be issued an OMB number.. so why does the 1040 have one?
It's having one simply proves the form is invalid and of no force and effect. Wanna see? Check it out - 44 U.S.C. 3500 – 3520.
In Section 3512 of the Act, titled "Public Protection," it says that no person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with an agency's collection of information request (such as a 1040 form), if the request does not display a valid control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) *in accordance with the requirements of the Act*, or if the agency fails to inform the person who is to respond to the collection of information that he is not required to respond to the collection of information request unless it
displays a valid control number.
We The People Foundation has researched the facts, law and circumstances surrounding this case, and has determined that:
A public trial would have opened a “Pandora’s Box” of legal evidence and government testimony under oath that would establish the IRS 1040 form as both fraudulent and counterfeit.
Oscar Stilley’s PRA defense “checkmated” the DOJ and IRS
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) appears to have been complicit with IRS in deceiving the public and in helping perpetuate the 1040 fraud by promulgating federal regulations that negate the plain language of the PRA laws passed by Congress and by allowing the IRS to continually skirt the explicit requirements of those statutes

the 16th amendment would seem to make it a law, but
doing some limited research i can't see where it is punishable
by imprisonment if you refuse to pay...
it's also come into question as to whether or not it was properly
ratified... wikipedia isn't going to side either way...it's up to the
supreme court and congress, and they aren't going to cough up
the evidence...
here is an interesting read (imm. below) put together by irwin schiff who is
serving his third prison term for tax evasion. there are some
interesting points with regard evasion of paying income tax as
being a criminal act punishable by law...
he's specifically looking for, among other things, "penalty
provisions" for failure to pay income taxes...it seems it's
fair to levy some sort of wage tax (if that was ratified correctly)
i guess, but the context is questionable, and the legal ramifications,
if any, for not paying are in question...

Freedom to Fascism article:
here's what some of the article said the filmmaker's position was:
The film opens by calling the 16th Amendment and its subsequent income tax and the Federal Reserve the product of a “silent coup d’état” in 1913 by “international bankers.” In the style of low-budget television documentaries, photographs appear on screen of J. P. Morgan, Paul Warburg and John D. Rockefeller.
The cornerstone of Mr. Russo’s case is whether any law requires Americans to pay income taxes on wages.
Near the film’s beginning Mr. Russo says, and others appear on screen asserting, that the Internal Revenue Service has refused every request to show any law making Americans liable for an income tax on their wages.
Yet among those thanked in the credits for their help in making the film is Anthony Burke, an I.R.S. spokesman. Mr. Burke said that when Mr. Russo called him asking what law required the payment of income taxes on wages, he sent Mr. Russo a link to documents, including Title 26 of the United States Code, citing the specific sections that require income taxes be paid on wages. Title 26 says on its face that it is law enacted by Congress, but Mr. Russo denied this fact.
“Title 26,” Mr. Russo said in an interview last week, “is not the law, it is I.R.S. regulations and to be a law it has to be passed by Congress.” Mr. Russo added that he had studied the matter closely and was confident that he had the facts.
The film also states repeatedly that people are tricked into paying income taxes because no law makes them liable for taxes. The tax code uses the word impose, whose definition includes the concept of liability, courts have held in published decisions.
The 16th Amendment repealed apportionment, but Mr. Russo says in the film that the 16th Amendment was never properly ratified and thus a tax on wages is unconstitutional. This claim has been made in various forms by thousands of tax protesters since 1913, and so far their batting average with the courts is .000.

the first gentleman indicates that a "natural person" (private
person) is not required by law to pay taxes on their income,
but other "persons" as indicated under Section 7343 of
TITLE 26 - INTERNAL REVENUE CODE are liable.
these "persons" are defined in these subsections as
different from "natural persons". read on...

i think it makes sense to keep following these
cases.
the government called schiff's claims "frivolous". and
some people are calling this movement to oppose
tax law a cult movement....

but i think there may be something to the refutations
going on...

How do you plead?
What does the law specifically state that I am accused of violating?
I have made a legal determination that you were under a duty according to the law.
My copy of that law says...
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! (Gavel on desk)
You will not discuss the law in my court room!
Reading the law will confuse the jury.

to me though, there is an issue with the interpretation
of the exact wording of the law.
yes there exists a 16th amendment that talks about
income taxes, but once you get into the quagmire
of the IRS codes and the sections and codes of
the law you begin to see why these people
are raising questions...
it may be up to the judge how far these investigations
will be allowed to proceed, but often when it comes to
challenges of u.s. law, judges can be dense and irascible...
just by the colorful quote i sent you, which i think is
the real deal, you can see what the browns are up
against...
still watching where this whole thing goes...
I agree, it certainly appears these tax laws are riddled and have scam written all over it in my opinion and is not delivered or worded precisely. and that quote from the constitution there, is sentences peiced together from a much larger paragraph. and the quote "and without regard to any census or enumeration" is a phallacy in itself indeed.

Okay, so Congress can levy taxes. That doesnt mean I have to pay them.
Just because a bum demands a dollar do you have to give it to him?
it is still tough to interpret and it should not be accepted by US citizens, people need to stand up already, we need to stop letting the government bully us, I thought they work for us, not the other way around.

still asking questions, you know the answer to i see.
so tell me, do you pay your taxes?
and a clairification:
is this a question of the right of congress to levi taxes?
or, a question of the right of congress to put you in jail for not paying?
