Then why do I make my checks out to the US Treasury when I pay my Federal Income Tax and send it to Cincinnati? I have known IRS agents and worked with them in several states, including Alaska, Wisconsin, and Colorado, both as preparer and collector, have sat with clients in audits and answered questions as to how the returns were prepared, and they were well trained, well educated on tax rules and regulations, and nearly all of them had accounting degrees. I once attended a meeting of tax protesters who stated that since our money is no longer backed by gold, it is not legal tender, therefore none of us makes income to be taxed. They call the money "Ferns"-Federal Reserve Notes. But if that is true, how does anyone purchase anything for themselves or their family? The dollars are legal tender by act of Congress, not by intrinsic value. So, I think I would be careful before buying into some of these scams and lies purported to be news. Tax collection became part of the Constitution in 1913 via the 16th amendment. Prior to that, the revenue act of 1861 was repealed in 1872. Most money was collected via tariffs. The Supreme Court upheld the right of taxation in Brushaber v Union Pacific Railroad. Back in the day when I got my cancelled checks returned, the stamp on the back showed the US Treasury. Can't imagine why they would send it to IMF. The IRS is a bureau of the Department of the Treasury. IRS was established in 1953. The Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service is appointed to a 5 year term by the president. It has nothing to do with the UN or the World Bank. If there is some definitive proof that the UN controls the IRS and sends all of the tax collected to the IMF, I would like to see it. Give me real references that I can easily verify.
