Do we have to pay taxes?

I was asked "why you opt to pay taxes....seeing as how they've revoked our constitutional rights and it's technically no longer supposed to be required. Find that screwy? Go google it." the other day on Facebook.

I heard this before too that we do not HAVE to pay taxes. I am not opposed to paying taxes, not at all. I don't much care for how they are spent, but the concept I am fine with.

Where is this whole 'we dont have to pay taxes' thing come from?

Also, what do you folks know about this?

No you don't have to pay taxes. You can go to jail instead.

If you live close to the border they can do whatever they want based on protecting the homeland.

My question is will we really be fined for refusing health care coverage?

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

There is another way to NOT pay taxes - no threat of going to prison, no need to "give up your rights" - is that even possible?

I refer to NOT having enough income for paying taxes to be required. I haven't paid taxes using that method for years hahahaha, and I've still managed to live pretty well.

I'm assuming you can lie on the form and get away with it as long you don't get audited. Thats when they will find out that no insurance companies reported you on their insurance.

according to the law they can only fine you by withholding the fine amount from your tax RETURN. If you do not get a return, they cannot fine you.

however, when in the last 6 years has the government actually followed the law?
