The "federal income tax" explained in 3 minutes:
The first and most important question regarding the federal income tax is: is it the federal tax on your income? Or is it the tax on your federal income?
The federal income tax is the tax on federal income, and not the federal tax on your income. This is much like a "small business owner" is the owner of a small business, and not a small owner of a business.
If you receive a federal benefit, or derive a gain from the exercise of a federal privilege, then you have federal income, which IS lawfully subject to the tax. Therefore, for the majority of Americans, who have zero federal income, the tax on federal income should also be zero.
This brings us to the second question: why do most Americans pay a federal income tax, when only a small minority of us actually benefit from federal income?
The answer to this paradox can be found in the use of custom defined terms in the Internal Revenue Code. For example, the term employee means government employee; wages mean government pay; trade or business mean the functions of a public office; service means government service; United States means the District of Columbia and the term gross income means federal income.
Therefore, if you have gross income from wages for service as an employee, or derived from a trade or business in the United States, then you are subject to the tax on your income.
Furthermore, if another person makes a presumptive or erroneous claim that you received wages as an employee, or otherwise received a federal benefit, when in-fact you did not, then they are bearing false witness against you.
If you fail to properly rebut this falsehood, then you are presumed to agree with having received federal property; and this presumption is what makes you liable as a taxpayer to a system of voluntary compliance.
