Income is different of salary. Seem irs don't care as long they got their money.


Fact:

If salary is same like income why we called it salary?
Salary are paid after, incomes paid before
Salary is paid for a work, income for a service
Etc...

So why tax on salaries?

Well, we shouldn't pay tax on salaries but it has nothing to do with the semantic game you're playing. We shouldn't pay tax on salaries because we shouldn't pay tax on income in the first place.

Salary is a type of income, as defined by the word and the IRS.

Tax protesters love playing weird word games to get out of paying their share like everyone else.

This is correct. The whole issue boils down to governments illogical position that you have no cost basis in your own labor. This is an easily refutable logical fallacy as labor is the only true measurement of wealth.
Money only represents labor.

The government treats wages as 100% profit, refusing to recognise that in fact the money your received in wages were offset 100% by the labor you gave in return. There was no profit on the transaction because you exchanged your labor at market value.

Income is the same no matter what it is called. It is money your receive from ANY source from inheritance, insurance salary or loot. It should be added up and taxed at a progressive rate after a deduction equal to the 95th percentile.

Let the people that own the country pay for the wars.

Yeah, it's illogical except to the rest of the people of the US who are not tax protesters. Every single tax protester, and freeman on the land, argument has failed. Usually resulting in increased fines, and jail time, to the idiot who tried it.

Tell you what, how about you go on your legal war against taxes. Prove to the nation how illogical all these things are. I will eat my words if you win. Considering you have been posting about it here for a good 7 years and haven't done a single thing...it's pretty safe to say you are just full of hot air.
