See comments made by u/TRYNEIN in the thread below. If he's right (and it appears he may be), we can stop with all the "16th Amendment wasn't ratified properly" stuff and hoping Washington will willingly turn off their own cash cow, and just quietly go back and mark "exempt" on our W4's and stick it to Washington on our own.
If he's wrong, or he's missed something, someone feel free to explain why here and we can talk about it. But I thought his comments merited its own thread.

Quick google search online brought up a paper arguing this point. The key point though might be this:
"Update: 10-29-21 - This topic has been to the U.S. Supreme Court as a Petition three times now, and three times the court has denied hearing their own rulings being discarded and illegal activities by the IRS allowed to continue. 19 court cases to date and all denied due process."
From what I can tell, the IRS made up a whole new category called "capital gains tax" in order to keep the ruse alive. Capital gains ARE income. Wages are not. But by creating a separate category for capital gains income, they can fool us into thinking wages count as "regular income." Something that, legally, does not even exist. All income is a capital gain. Wages are not income. You can choose to save your wages and invest them, and what you earn minus the principal after the sale of your investment can legally be taxed, but not the principal itself, which came from your wages.
But as we know, the IRS doesn't give two shits about what's technically legal. They're out to get your money, period. They know nobody wants to be the one guy who asserts his rights with no confidence that he'll be backed up by the courts, so they keep it going. Now THAT would be a case I would hope SCOTUS takes up and strikes down, because then we could probably approach the critical mass necessary to throw off the scam collectively all at once. It wouldn't even matter if they tossed out the 16th amendment because they've already stated that government already had the authority to tax income. Until we all learn what income really is, we'll continue to give the IRS a part of our salary that they don't have any legal right to.
As I said in my reply below, this "capital gain" does not account for expenses. You can claim any expenses you want. The IRS can contest it, and the court can uphold it, but there is no law that requires it.
IRS Code and U.S. code are not the same thing. In some cases they are congruent, but not always. The IRS makes up it's own shit. They are not a part of the government, but a government subcontractor.
All the more reason to hope they rule on the EPA case soon. Could be used as precedent for saying "fuck you" to any extra-legislative IRS mandates.
did you endorse private script issued by a private corporation, or did you exercise your right and demand lawful money???
Title 12 sec 411
That is some good stuff. Even more complete than my research on it. Yes, I agree completely. The government can tax income. There is some good evidence that there was fuckery in getting the 16th amendment passed, but it didn't really do anything except change belief.
But wages are not "income." I think you have to be a corporation (not a Natural Person) to have income. I'm not 100% on that, but I am quite confident that "income" is not wages.
Capital gains counts as income. So they can tax your stock earnings, but not the money you put in from your paycheck. They just tricked us all by giving it its own category. Sneaky bastards.
I'm not 100% certain this is true. There is work performed in buying and selling stocks. You are "self-employed" and "doing work." I think this applies to dividends, because that is a share of Corporate profits, but I think it may not apply to buying and selling commodities, because that is a function of trading, and there are trading expenses. You are being compensated for work in such a case.
It may be as you say, but I bet anything there is a loophole (or five) in there.
The loophole is that the IRS makes up their own rules as an extra-legislative (i.e., unconstitutional) regulatory institution. The U.S. code is our law. The IRS has made up their own laws and too many courts back up the ruse. If SCOTUS rules against the EPA it could give us the teeth to fight the IRS effectively moving forward.
Don't think the court has balls big enough for this one.
I'd say striking down Roe took some pretty hefty balls. And the EPA case is next. Might be all we need to defeat the IRS once and for all.
If you add up the interest we pay on our home loans as well, we are all being made slaves to the system/cabal. I would like to get back what has been stolen over the time I have been working, and I don’t think I would be on my own.
