Bolded Text: False. You willingly agree to be taxed in virtue of staying here and making profit here. Tacit consent. I don't agree with this notion, but it works as justification. If the US didn't allow you to leave, then yes, it would be slavery. Last time I checked, you're free to go whenever you like.


Underlined text: True. So indubitably and indelibly true.

What irks me are the people on the commercials who brag about settling their tax debt for 'Pennies on the Dollar'.

I have a suggestion for them:

"PAY YOUR F#CKING TAXES ASSHOLES!"

Tacit consent is an argument that falls when it is examined against the text you underlined.

Unfortunately, the entirety of that post should have been one paragraph.

Yeppers, somehow I feel very uncomfortable with those who encourage others to become good little German citizens and workers.

Did anyone bother to watch this excellent post that Trees made?

Fraud voids contracts and makes them unenforceable.

Looks interesting, I'll have to finish watching the other parts at another time though.

Churches are exempt from taxes because they are non profit. By law they have to keep funds under a certain amount of money, and it is monitored. Other organizations are tax exempt as well... have you ever heard of non profit organizations? And there are people who are pretty much exempt from taxes... maybe not by law, but they evade them through legal loopholes. They are called billionares. That is why we should implement a flat tax system, the income tax is wayyyy to sketchy.

So where exactly is 'Tacit Consent' in the Constitution Professor.
That is a BS theory and you know it. (you said you don't agree)
Thats like telling your kid "If you don't like it get the hell out of my house."
So I can leave to be abused in some other country.
No fight this BS here and now.
Or at best we will end up like fucked up France.

Actually the reason why they are tax exempt is because they have promised to cut off their balls off and not interfere in politics.
