464: Do you really need to pay income tax?

The boys drink and review "Raised by Wolves" from Right Proper brewing, then wonder if they're suckers for paying their income taxes when other people seem to get away with not filing! They start by steelmanning the arguments against the income tax, which include ... * The "sovereign citizen" idea * Questions about the ratification of the 16th Amendment * That it's a violation of the constitution's original intent * The "voluntary compliance" language * That the income tax was not intended to apply to everyone Pigweed and Crowhill examine these arguments and give their analysis.
