Each and every person has a RIGHT to petition the government for a redress of grievances. If the government does not address this petition, we have the RIGHT to cut off ALL TAXES. The founders said so themselves.
Government has the authority to tax, but not the right to tax our incomes. Even if 99.999% of America voted to grant the government such authority, it would NOT have this authority legitimately. I don't have the right to steal from another person to pay for the things that I want, therefore, I can't grant this power to government. Nor can 350 million people.
No matter how many people "consent" to income taxes, (and most don't) the fact remains that unless it is voluntary, it is theft. It's armed robbery to be percise. The government demands money to pay for programs I don't want and if I don't pay, men with guns show up at my house. That's theft.
