Aaron Russo
Aaron Russo (pictured) was an American businessman, director, and political activist. He is
best known for directing blockbuster films such as Trading Places, The Rose and Wise Guys.
Russo believed that a human being “Should stand for something, and do the right thing when
the time calls to act”. Consequently, during the latter part of his career he did his best to warn
the American public by producing documentaries such as Mad as Hell (1996), Freedom to
Fascism (Russo 2006), and Reflections and Warnings (Jones 2008).
Russo disclosed the following key information in Freedom to Fascism (Russo 2006):
Income Tax
There is no law requiring Americans to pay income tax. Although this is a truth, I
DO NOT advocate Ame ricans NOT to pay income tax (and neithe r did Russo).
This is simply because the Federal Reserve can imprison you and seize your
possessions for not paying income tax (although there is no law requiring Americans
to do so). So for the sake of avoiding hassle for the mean time –pay your income
taxes.
To further illustrate the above point, Bob Shultz speaking at “We the People
Foundation” said the following: “Most people believe that the income tax system is
legal and that the revenue from the tax is used in the public interest. However, there is
a substantial conclusive body of evidence that proves that our income tax system
represents the most pernicious form of tyranny. It is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated
by government against the working men and women of America.”
Charlie Beall: “The federal government itself refuses to provide, the American
people, who are coercively being subjected to this extraction of their private property,
without any underlying legal justification. There is no law. There is no law that
requires the average American worker in the private sector to pay a direct unapportioned tax on their labour and compensation for services. There is no law.”
