I'm actually aware of that. I've seen Bill Benson's research into the subject at http://www.thelawthatneverwas.com/

But I think it's a bit of a red herring, since the Supreme Court said the 16th Ammendment confired no new taxing powers to Congress.

That's part of Larkin's point. The reason the actual laws don't say most people owe income tax is because laws that say they did would have been unconstitutional even with the 16th ammendment.

BTW. Larkin Rose, to my knowledge, is also a Free State Project member ( http://www.freestateproject.com ) So he's coming to New Hampshire (and of course all the FSP members hate taxes as well). There were actually 2 bills in the NH House regarding the income tax last year. I hope they get resurected.

One Established a committee to study the constitutionality of the federal income tax and constitutional abuses in the collection of the income tax and its effects on New Hampshire citizens.

The other would have nullified the Sixteenth amendment to the United States Constitution.

Nullifying the income tax -- or at least the IRS' misapplication of the laws (Which-ever you want to believe) is already in the consciousness of NH residents and law-makers. With the Free State Project, (and Larkin Rose amoung them.) I believe it's very possible that in a few years New Hampshire could become a bit of a haven from the Income Tax.

Anyway,
