Referring to a case someone mentioned in this matter. There was a fellow from Sycamore, Illinois in March of this year that was found not guilty of paying taxes. He proved to a jury that the federal income tax is voluntary. His name is Ray Garland. I would like to mention that as far as I know the courts have never given a ruling in the matter that income is not wages. Income was defined by the courts as being gain from capital. I would like to say that I am not gaining anything by working for someone. I give a company part of my time and in turn gives me wages for this time. In my honest opinion I can't see how the government can take something from me that I worked for unless I voluntaryly do so. Any comments.
