Income Tax Refuted in Court

He reportedly hasn't paid his income tax in ten years and now a Federal District Court has upheld Tom Cryer's behavior in a case pitting him against the Internal Revenue Service. Finding that the IRS was unable to prove a constitutional foundation for the income tax, Mr. Cryer, a lawyer himself, was acquitted by the jury of two criminal tax charges. In the wake of his victory, Cryer has launched the Truth Attack website devoted to undoing the income tax in the U.S. The case appears to have serious ramifications, as it seems to establish that the proper definition of "income" is in no way that which we earn from our labor, but only from profit and interest. It remains to be seen if the IRS will seek to refute the decision, but for now Cryer is pressing home his advantage reiterating that "[t]here's no law making the average working man liable [for income taxes], there's no law or regulation that allows the IRS to contend that earnings are 100 percent profit received in exchange for nothing, and the right to earn a living through any lawful occupation is a constitutionally protected fundamental right, and is exempt from taxation."
