Here's a neat trick: Take all the laws(statements?) in the main part of the US Constitution that apply to taxation and money, then add in the 16th Amendment, what some people refer to as "The Income Tax Amendment." Mix up the sentences, not the words in the sentences, but mix up the order of the sentences to something other than what's in the US Constitution. Now, find an English teacher that's very good a diagramming(sp?) sentences, but doesn't know much about US law. Have her diagram each sentence without telling her where the stuff comes from, the more clueless they are about that, the better.

Okay, now point to the sentence(s?) having to do with the 16th Amendment and ask her if they contradict the other sentences, and if they do, how do they contradict?

The 16th Amendment DOESN'T contradict the US Constitution that precedes it. There's a reason that the educational system in the US sucks so bad, and that reason is that uneducated slaves are easier to control than educated ones.

Since this is so far off-topic already, I'm going to quit here, but if there is anyone here who want's to fight the US government on taxation, please email me at jasong at gmail dot com.

Note: Whether or not you pay taxes or not is your choice, and deciding that the government is breaking the law doesn't mean we'll hate you for continuing to turn in forms and money to the government. I pay the illegal money myself, for my own reasons.

Everybody now...! Duke, duke, duke, duke of spam, duke duke, duke of spam...
