Taxes are Voluntary - U. S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Controversy

I woke anxious Saturday morning, the year was 1995. This dream was my worst nightmare. The message said all my money would be removed from my bank account. I did not know what would happen or who was going to take my money. This was my last unemployment check and I needed this money for my rent. The bank was closed on Saturdays so I went to several ATM machines around town and withdrew all but $50.52 dollars. Monday morning I checked my bank account, all my money was gone, I could not believe it!

Driving to the bank, I inquired of the manager what happened to the money in my account. He said, "On June 9, the IRS removed all the money from your account. I don't have any other details for you." I had none either. The IRS never sent a letter advising me of their intent and I was never contacted after the money was removed.

I received this letter stating, "We received a Notice of Levy form from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) demanding all of the funds that you have on deposit with us. A copy of the Notice is enclosed for your information."

Included in that letter was a bill for $75.00 dollars. They said, "I had to pay" because the IRS took my money. I politely told them they could contact the IRS for that money!

To this day, I have not heard what happened to that money. I never received a letter from the IRS or anyone else in the U.S. government. I am grateful for supernatural intervention. My next question was did a higher power in my life know that taxes are voluntary?

His third paragraph states, "The federal income tax laws are constitutional. The Sixteenth Amendment of the Constitution relieved income taxes from the apportionment requirement of Art." This is an exact quote. I know the wording sounds very strange.

Then he went on to quote Section Codes - not a law governing tax collection. Folks need to know a code is not law. Then stated, "However, payment of the tax is voluntary in the sense that it is a system of self-assessment; citizens calculate the amount of tax that they personally owe and file their
