What's the truth to this?
He says that there is no law requiring people to pay income tax. He doesn't have anything withheld and doesn't file taxes. His argument is that the law says that income taxes must be paid and filed only above a certain amount of taxable income, and that wages in the US do not count as taxable income and he therefore doesn't earn enough to have to file/pay income tax. I mentioned that someone has to pay that income tax to the IRS and he said that since he is refusing to pay it, the burden falls on the employer to pay income taxes.
What's the truth behind this (if any)? I figure that if Americans could avoid giving up 10-30% of their wages to the IRS just by refusing then it would be a lot more common.
