Mr. Cohen also is the AUTHOR of the TAX CODE! You WILL NOT believe what you hear! The US doesn't want you know know this!Article XVI which gives the congress the "power" to have a federal income tax, was found to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL by the Supreme Court! How congress can ratify anything found UNCONSTITUTIONAL is BEYOND me!http://www.claremont.org/writings/19970415arnn.htmlThe Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in 1895. Referring to the explicit prohibition against direct taxation in Article I, the court argued that the income tax would excessively enhance federal power in relation to state power.http://www.usconstitution.net/constamnotes.html#Am16In 1895, in the Supreme Court case of Pollock v Farmer's Loan and Trust (157 U.S. 429), the Court disallowed a federal income tax. The tax was designed to be an indirect tax, which would mean that states need not contribute portions of a whole relative to its census figures. The Court, however, ruled that the income tax was a direct tax and subject to apportionment. This was the last in a series of conflicting court decisions dating back to the Civil War. Between 1895 and 1909, when the amendment was passed by Congress, the Court began to back down on its position, as it became clear not only to accountants but to everyone that the solvency of the nation was in jeopardy. In a series of cases, the definition of "direct tax" was modified, bent, twisted, and coaxed to allow more taxation efforts that approached an income tax.http://www.answers.com/topic/amendment-xvi...-s-constitutionCongress passed the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1909, and the states ratified it in 1913. The ratification of the amendment overturned an 1895 U.S. Supreme Court decision that had ruled a two percent federal flat tax on incomes over $4,000 unconstitutional (Pollock v. Farmer's Loan & Trust Co., 157 U.S. 429, 15 S. Ct. 673, 39 L. Ed. 759). Article I of the Constitution states that "direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states ... according to their respective numbers."What good is the constitution and the Supreme Court if the Senate and House and ratify anything found to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL . It is the Supreme Courts duty to overturn this UNCONSTITUTIONAL ratification.To watch the entire video, go to:http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4023196628588378412&hl=en

Oct 16, 2011 - from 8.22 to 8.36 he basically told Aaron how will he end, he 'marked' him for shoot out... I dont know if any of you guys here noticed that but there is no Aaron Russo in the world of living any more and nothing really did help him prevent that just as he told him in Yiddish. I think they all new they will get rid of him .
RetSquid Says:
Oct 19, 2011 - "Nothing can help you"As in 'you will never listen to anyone because your mind is already made up, you will not hear the truth.'
rogueronin82 Says:
Nov 16, 2011 - no. .Where in any law do they use the words "volunatary compliance?" But in the irs code they use the words "VOLUNTARY compliance" and force people to comply by hurting them if they dont?? Its like a guy telling his wife she can screw other men if she wants to;no problem, but he will punish,hurt her badly and/or divorce her if she does . Its just criminal mob double speak.
RetSquid Says:
Nov 16, 2011 - No, there is no 'voluntary' in the IRC, Title 26. It is mandatory.
rogueronin82 Says:
Nov 16, 2011 - "Voluntary compliance" IS in the irs codes and title 26 is just another section in those codes.... its criminal maffia double speak. In other words;"sure you can take my car,I dont have a problem with that,but im going to punish and hurt you if you do"..
RetSquid Says:
Nov 16, 2011 - O.K., cite which section of Title 26 talks about 'voluntary compliance'.
RetSquid Says:
Nov 21, 2011 - Can't find the section YET?
okltsply Says:
Jan 7, 2012 - Russo takes it out of context chapter 26 section 3 states"The purpose of publishing revenue rulings and revenue procedures in the Internal Revenue Bulletin is to promote correct and uniform application of the tax laws by Internal Revenue Service employees and to assist taxpayers in attaining maximum voluntary compliance by informing Service personnel and the public of National Office interpretations of the internal revenue laws, related statutes, treaties,"(cont.)
okltsply Says:
Jan 7, 2012 - (cont.) What this saying in plain English is we are informing you of the rules so you can know what all your obligations are and so our employees also know the rules. You will then be fully informed and can pay your obligations voluntarily if you don't then "involuntary" action will be taken to get you to comply. Ignorance will not be an excuse, and for that matter neither will conspiracy theories.
rogueronin82 Says:
Jan 7, 2012 - Russo was correct...
RetSquid Says:
Jan 8, 2012 - Russo was a liar or nuts, those are the only two choices available for his actions.
AaronCherr Says:
Jan 14, 2012 - The same stupid "voluntary compliance" argument.as always.
bigborn973 Says:
Jan 15, 2012 - people are without common sense even after going through university. we are a free nation. the government cannot make you a slave. the total amount you paid in taxes is equal to up to 3 months or more of your wage. is like working for free, a slave. why should you pay irs money when they did no work for you. how can you save money to open a business when 20% of your income is paid in tax. the rest in mortgage, rent, and credit debt. they want people to work for business and not own their own

Mar 9, 2012 - ...I am also told, but this I hardly believe, that their Great Chief compels every man to pay him for the land he lives upon and all personal goods - even those he needs for his own existence - every year. I am sure we could not live under such a law.- -Charles Alexander Eastman's uncle - Santee Sioux
tahapo11 Says:
Mar 11, 2012 - The IRS are extortionsts, plain and simple. VOLUNTARY MEANS VOLUNTARY!
RetSquid Says:
Mar 12, 2012 - And the law says nothing about income tax being voluntary.
intentlr2004 Says:
Mar 19, 2012 - I am so in love with your argument Brain... I am almost panting...heheheh
black9897 Says:
Mar 21, 2012 - check out marcstevensDOT Net He doesn't even argue the law, just the facts. which the IRS has none.
brianwesley28 Says:
Mar 28, 2012 - Thanks, intentlr2004. I didn't realize that this comment section was still active. I'm sure that all of your panting could be extremely taxing? Just don't let RedSquid read that. He'll come up with some argument that you are somehow profiting from being in love with my argument and therefore subject to some sort of excise tax because of that. lol.

Apr 2, 2012 - The link to watch the entire video is no longer valid.
TheShockmister Says:
Apr 5, 2012 - Well there should be some retrospective hangings!.
RetSquid Says:
Apr 5, 2012 - You mean "retroactive"?
Hatebot123 Says:
Apr 8, 2012 - its hard to pay attention to the video with HUGE TITS STARING AT ME
gman21xx Says:
Apr 20, 2012 - I like this work because everyone should be aware that the IRS is essentially a marauding arm of the government. But at the same time it really shouldn't come as a huge surprise to anyone because you go anywhere in the world, and there's a gang who demands your money for their "protection" which means that you'll be protected from the same people who are taking your money. Solution: make more money, do more great things with your life. Some will try to fight the gang directly, but at what cost
RetSquid Says:
Oct 12, 2011 - Nice try, but making up stories about me just strengthens my claims....it proves you are desperate to avoid the truth at all costs.
