Determined to find the law that requires American citizens to pay income tax, producer Aaron Russo set out on a journey to find the evidence. This film which is neither left, nor right-wing is a startling examination of government. It exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America since 1913 when the Federal Reserve system was fraudulently created.
Through interviews with U.S. Congressmen, a former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents and tax attorneys and authors, Russo connects the dots between money creation, federal income tax, and the national identity card which becomes law in May 2008. This ID card will use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips which are essentially homing devices used to track people. This film shows in great detail and undeniable facts that America is moving headlong into a fascist police state. Wake up!

This issue is much simpler than we’ve been making it. Are you a human being with a right to his own labor-property, or are you a “taxpayer” dealing in “income”? Do you live and do business in the natural world, or are you engaged in “commerce”? Most Americans are indeed taxpayers because of a contractual relationship with the government (ie “voluntary compliance”). It’s the missing link in Russo’s argument:

This is an interesting documentary. I believe even though the law book is like a deceptive ocean of words that ultimately justifies the nature of human beings to live under a governing guidelines in everything (since the law book itself is written by the humans) , on a broader picture its really subjective whether one has to pay a tax or not.
We get access to civic amenities and other basic facilities if we pay our taxes. The basic assumption is the money accumulated as a result of our taxes is in return used in the development of the nation. One important point that Russo rises is if there is “undocumentable adjustments” in a person’s assets while filing income tax they are brought under the court of law and held for accountability.
At the same time when the government is asked to show the accountability of their spending on the so called “development of the nation”, the “undocumentable adjustments” does not make them fall under the hands of law to show some accountability. THIS ITSELF MAKES IT CLEAR THAT UNLESS WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LAW IS MADE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IN BOTH WAYS IRS CANT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANYTHING , ITS A CLEAR PICTURE OF PRIVATELY HELD ORGANISATION WITH COLOSSAL DISCRETIONARY POWER OVER THE LAW.
Now if IRS is a privately held organisation, then the whole concept of paying taxes becoming subjective since as mentioned by invisiblecontract above – voluntary compliance comes with strings attached so the one who engages with the government for accessing any of its benefits becomes liable to pay for those benefits under a contractual mode.
So theoritically if anyone who is born in US(within the geographical margin) becomes an US citizen immediately. Once he/she becomes an US citizen – theres a set of Constitutional Rights that starts applying to them since birth. Then along with it comes the “additional benefits” that individual is going to receive for being an US citizen (like accessing public transport,gas,food,communication , etc) but at a certain set of laws/regulations under which they are bound to do a series of things (nothing more and nothing less). In this context – PAYING TAX.
This invariably means that every single individual who is on the birth records of the US voters list means they are legally “in contract” with the Government since birth. Any breach of this contract will lead to punishment – thus its quite logical to say that such profound dexterity is only made to make us slaves to the Government right since birth like the Feudal System where generations after generations kept paying the debt but never got free.
If you were born in Nevada desert , then grew up and made your own living on the nature provided elements , have no bank account , no social security number or driving license does that mean you will have to pay tax for anything? The answer should be no but here is the complication -”you are still born inside the US geographical territory so you are a slave by contract yet again”

I am not an american, though what’s happening there troubles me because it will/is bleeding over to my country, Australia (or as the term as been coined ‘America 2′) I’m just wondering does this crippling debt/interest paradox grip my country too? Do we have out own FRB or is the same one digging it’s talons in here too? this doco and many like it suggest ways to fight this tyrany though they are largely America centric. I long ago decided not to joint the ‘defense’ forces or any LEO organisation, but beyond that, should I be beating down the door of parllement saying “Oi I want my $250 per pay cheque back” more international info would be greatly apreciated
