Watch this before you send in your taxes. Apparently, you really don't HAVE to pay them.

NEW YORK -- IRS documents released Wednesday suggest that the tax collection agency believes it can read American citizens' emails without a warrant.
The IRS apparently interprets that authority very broadly, the documents show: as long as you've stored your email in a cloud service like Google Mail, and as long as those emails haven't been deleted after a few months, the agency thinks it doesn't need a warrant to read them.
That's why an internal 2009 IRS document claimed that "the government may obtain the contents of electronic communication that has been in storage for more than 180 days” without a warrant.
Another 2009 file, the IRS Criminal Tax Division's "Search Warrant Handbook," showed that the division's general counsel believed "the Fourth Amendment does not protect communications held in electronic storage, such as email messages stored on a server, because internet users do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy."
"Let’s hope you never end up on the wrong end of an IRS criminal tax investigation,"
"Three decades later, we must update this law to reflect new privacy concerns and new technological realities."
Leahy introduced a similar bill last year, but after passing out of his committee it did not come up for a vote on the Senate floor.

lonewolvie said:Income tax can be put to an end, it will take time and money to get initiated measures in all fifty states to repeal the sixteenth amendment. This needs to be put up to public vote because politicians do not have the backbone to do this themselves. It's like expecting a steer to butcher itself.
