"How come Tony Soprano doesn't have a mob nickname? Paulie Walnuts does. All Tony gets is the occasional "T." Does anyone have any ideas for a new nickname for Tony?"

The following is the entire text of a current email tax scam currently circulating around the Internet. This is the one the IRS calls Untax Yourself for $49.95. Ads like this say that paying taxes is "voluntary," but it is absolutely wrong. The U. S. courts have continuously rejected this and other similar arguments. Remember, if it sounds "too good to be true," it probably isn't.

ABSOLUTLY INCREDIBLE! [spelling per sender]

Legally Eliminate Your "FORM 1040" Income Tax! And...Keep 100% Of The Money You Earn...No matter what your level of income is!

This message is being sent to you by xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.com please refer to the bottom of this message for removal instructions.

You are entitled to keep 100% of the money you earn. Filing a FORM 1040 Income Tax return, year after year, is a voluntary process. ALL the money you have paid the IRS over the years has been, in essence, a DONATION. Income tax is an indirect tax in the nature of an excise and is NOT a direct tax laid upon all income"... yet it is IMPOSED by the IRS as a DIRECT tax? THAT IS FRAUD PURE AND SIMPLE!

Thus, "Direct taxes" are "unconstitutional" [1] UNLESS they are set up as a "voluntary tax." Of course, there is no such thing as a "Voluntary Tax." This fraud, has been blindly accepted by the American people for OVER the past 80 years.

Don't just take our word for it. The IRS blatantly states that Income Tax is voluntary? Take a look at page 3 of the 1992 FORM 1040 Instruction Booklet that was issued by the IRS THEMSELVES. In paragraph 2, the Commissioner of the IRS states "You are among the millions of Americans who comply with the tax law voluntarily."

How about proof from the HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND! The Supreme Court Ruling--a decision that applies to both ASSESSMENT AND PAYMENT as being VOLUNTARY! Chief Justice Earl Warren said, "Our system of taxation is based upon voluntary assessment and payment, not upon distraint." (or FORCE) (In Flora v. U.S 362 US 145, at 176.

Here's the proof from other high officials. "Dwight E. Avis, as Head of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. (the former name of the IRS). In 1953, before a House Ways and Means subcommittee, attested under oath, 'Let me point this out now Your income tax is 100 percent voluntary tax, and your liquor tax is 100 percent enforced tax.' "

Why are we telling you this? Because we don't want you to just take our word for it. We want you to hear it from the source...straight from the IRS... FOR EXAMPLE... ON THE COVER OF THEIR OWN IRS Handbook for Special Agents you will read "AGENTS... Our tax system is based on individual self-assessment, and voluntary compliance... the material contained in this handbook is confidential in character. It must not under any circumstances be made available to persons outside the service."

Senator Inouye, in a letter dated March 20, 1989 to Fred Ortiz, said, "there is no provision of the Internal Revenue Code that specifically and unequivocally requires an individual to pay income tax.

FACT No one's amount of income legally obligates the filing of a Form 1040!

ANY document issued by the IRS is non-judicial, non-binding, and has NO force and effect of law to compel anyone to do anything!

Your rights are of no use to you unless you yourself personally know and exercise them!

IRS Commissioner "I regard the income tax as the one of all others most obnoxious to the genius of our people, being inquisitorial in nature, and dragging into public view an exposition of the most private pecuniary affairs of the citizens…I recommend its unconditional repeal." (Alfred Pleasanton, Commissioner, Bureau of Internal Revenue,) [2]

There is no law that requires anyone to file a Form 1040…This is true because there is no law, no provision of the Internal Revenue Code that makes anyone liable for income tax on their own personal, private income!

"How can that be? "Somebody would have told us the truth". Then why is everyone paying income tax?

Senator Henry Bellmon; "In a recent conversation with an official of the IRS, I was amazed when he told me that, 'If the American people ever knew that ninety percent of what the IRS does is pure bluff."

Your rights are of no use to you unless you yourself personally know and exercise them.

"Welcome To The Truth!"

The report "Welcome To The Truth" is an exposition of the illegality of the income tax and the administration of the tax laws by the IRS, is designedly constructive in nature. Its sole intent is to restore the government to full compliance with the law. I believe if you owe a tax then pay it. The key is to know the tax laws, follow them, and require the IRS to do the same!

There is NO accountant, tax attorney, IRS official, IRS agent, or government official that can PROVE that paying FORM 1040 Income Tax is a mandatory requirement of law!

1. Income tax is authorized by the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census of enumeration." (Do you see the word "voluntary" in the 16th Amendment? Neither do the courts.)
