This is a big forum and I have also posted this in other forums with no real help in what I am trying to do.
Let me set this up a bit, First off I am very much a tax payer. I also do not support anything illegal. At the same time I am always in search of the truth.
That said...
I live in a small town. We have of course have the town elder (family has been here since 1868) who is also somewhat of a nut, or so I thought. He used to carry on about how the government is a private corporation and the IRS and the Federal Reserve or both Private European Corporations. He also went onto to say UNITED STATES and United States were actually two separate entities.
OK, here is my plight. He also went on to say that MOST people don't have to pay taxes, or at least domestic income tax to the government. People pay it out of fear of the IRS that they pay. I old him he was crazy. So he made me a bet, that I could not find anywhere in the tax law that specifically says that "taxable income" is actually domestic labor tax. Now I have been hearing this for years but never actually found anything that to support it.
After about 3 weeks of searching I am about to give up, I can not find it anywhere in the tax law. Not only can I not find it I have found other information the supports his claim. Surely someone here is a Tax pro, or retired tax attorney, someone who knows more then I can find.
This is what i have found so far, and its not supporting my side of paying taxes. I have found Internal Revenue Code 861 which states taxable income
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Revenue_Code_861 which state only resident aliens, and foreign corporations need pay income tax.
This 861 code was used in court as reason for not filing, and of course he lost, but that doesn't help me in finding my verbiage stating what taxable income is.
In my first search I found this article, http://www.stopthelie.com/taxes.html
This is an actual IRS collection agent speaking about how taxes are collected.

Then in my next search I found this which is actually quite disturbing if its true. this one here is pretty simple once I finish reading the tax law myself =\ http://tree3.com/861/index.html
And of course I have also found many sites that are just way out there.

Anyone have any new insight into this subject?
Thanks,
Tim
