Tax experts, including one who spent a year researching whether enough states properly ratified the 16th Amendment – which authorizes Congress to collect income taxes -- are as insistent as ever that Americans are not mandated to pay Uncle Sam a portion of what they earn every year.

"There were enough states … even without Ohio to complete" the required three-fourths of the states to ratify the amendment, said the IRS document. "Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the income tax laws enacted subsequent" to the ratification of the amendment.

In his research, however, Benson found that only four states ratified the amendment "without changing the wording." He maintains that, constitutionally, states cannot change words or punctuation when voting to accept or reject a constitutional amendment.

"The only thing the states can do is accept or reject the wording (of an amendment) as is," Benson told WND. "The legislatures of each state cannot change any of it. Otherwise, we'd have 48 different versions of the law."

"What is stated [in the IRS document] is a bald-faced lie," Kidd said.

"Since it was never ratified and we can prove it wasn’t, then apportionment is still in effect and again, everything else is moot," she said. The government's "progressive, unapportioned tax is, and always has been, unlawful."

Rather than dicker over IRS codes, legal impressions and court cases, Kidd and other "tax-honesty" proponents believe the key to discovering the legality of income tax lies in proving these contentions:

* That the IRS is not an authorized agency of the government and has no authority to conduct business;
* That the government's jurisdiction is not valid;
* The fraudulent ratification of the 16th Amendment unlawfully wiped out the apportionment clause of the Constitution;
* That an individual is, without question, forced to involuntarily surrender his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination by filing any income tax form under penalty of perjury.

Another area of concern, Kidd says, is that the courts themselves can’t even decide, in a universal manner, what constitutes an income tax or what the income tax really is -- direct or excise.

"That’s a fact and it creates what is known as a problem [IRS] document," she said.

Even former IRS commissioners have questioned the legitimacy of the very agency they serve.
