I have read articles stating the "States never ratified the Sixteenth Amendment." If this is true, then income tax is illegal. Also, if investments in the Federal Reserve are closed to the American citizens, then who are the investors? Why is this "institution" still private instead of national? Does it belong to the American citizens? Where does this money which enforcibly taken from a person's reward for labor go? Why does our free press shun men like Ron Paul who call the attention of this matter to the American citizens?

"I have read articles stating the "States never ratified the Sixteenth Amendment." If this is true, then income tax is illegal."
The 16'th amendment was never properly ratified. The Income Tax is improperly applied to most Americans, but few ever really study this subject. BUT they sign, under "penalty of perjury" that they owe it.
A subject unto itself.
"Where does this money which enforcibly taken from a person's reward for labor go?"
Good question.
