Anyone care to explain this controversy? I don't understand the argument that the IRS is an illegal organization or that the collection of taxes is somehow unconstitutional.

From what I remember the question is whether or not the amendment that legalized this type of taxation was properly ratified. Unfortunately, the Constitution is a dead document so arguments of this type are pointless and only result in the occasional true believer getting gassed, burned, and shot.
