Is the IRS conning the America people out of our hard earned money via federal income taxes?

There is no law that states anyone is obligated to pay their income taxes, why are we pressured into it? It is a voluntary act done by fear of consequence. Will America ever stand up for itself against the persons truelly responsible for our misfortunes and debts, the US government?

1. So press your congressman to vote for the Fair Tax Act
2. Wow!! your dumb.
3. It has always been and will continue to be the main source of government income.
4. Death and taxes are inevitable in this life, but in the present age, Kali-yuga (the age of quarrel and hypocrisy) the government will levy heavy tax on the backs of the people. And whatever happened to the spirit of the 60's, when people refused to pay their taxes because of the enormous cost of war and preparations for it. Things do not have to be this way; things are not supposed to be this way. We can change it. Wanted, reformers! But those are wanted who will first reform themselves!
5. I hear you. It really pisses me off that we are paying for their health care, when so many are going without. And Bushes little, er, I mean huge flight trips - all he has to do is get off the plane & speak for 5 minutes & that qualifies us to pay his bill. But alas, just owe them one dollar & you will go to jail. It usually takes them about 3 yrs. to catch up with you, but they will because they want that dollar. And prisons - just something else that appears to be turning into another gigantic business. Disturbing.
6. YES, YES, BECAUSE SOME OF USE DO NOT READ NOR UNDERSTAND THE CONSTITUTION, AND JUST GO ALONG WITH WHAT THEY ARE TOLD TO DO. AND YES YOU ARE RIGHT IT IS A VOLUNTARY ACT THAT IS DONE OUT OF FEAR OF CONSEQUENCE, ALL OF THE PEOPLE HERE WILL CONTINUE TO TELL YOU AND CALL ME AN IDIOT OVER THIS BECAUSE THE BELIEVE SOMETHING. ITS THERE RIGHT TO BELIEVE THIS. AND BECAUSE OF THIS THE ANSWER TO THE LAST PART OF YOUR QUESTION IS......NO.....THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL NEVER STAND UP IN OUR LIFETIME AGAINST THE MONSTER THEY CALL GOVERNMENT, BET THERE IS ONLY A HAND FULL THAT CAN TELL ME WHO SAID, WHEN THE GOVERNMENT FEARS THE PEOPLE THER WILL BE SOVEREIGNTY, WHEN THE PEOPLE FEAR THE GOVERNMENT THERE WILL BE TYRANNY!
7. According to this documentary I watched called Freedom to fascism by Frank Russo there is no federal law saying we have to pay income taxes Everybody does it because we are disillusioned into believing that we have to.The U.S government is corrupt and unbalanced,but hey at least we aren't so poor that we are eating the maggots off our bodies for the nutrients...yet
