Take all of the claims in the movie with a grain of salt. They even tell you to do as much here
http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/statement.htm "Welcome to the Official Site for 'Zeitgeist, the Movie.'
Since the emergence of the work in late June, 2007, many other websites,
organizations and posts have fallaciously claimed connections to the work.
Please note that 'Zeitgeist', along with this site, has no direct affiliation with
anything else online.
Zeitgeist, produced by Peter Joseph, was created as a nonprofit filmiac expression to
inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that
very often things are not what the population at large think they are. The information in Zeitgeist
was established over a year long period of research and the current Source page on
this site lists the basic sources used / referenced and the Interactive Transcript includes
exact source references and further information.
Now, it's important to point out that there is a tendency to simply disbelieve things that are
counter to our understanding, without the necessary research performed.
For example, some information contained in Part 1 and Part 3, specifically, is not obtained
by simple keyword searches on the Internet. You have to dig deeper. For instance,
very often people who look up "Horus" or "The Federal Reserve" on the Internet
draw their conclusions from very general or biased sources. Online encyclopedias or text book
Encyclopedias often do not contain the information contained in Zeitgeist. However, if one takes
the time to read the sources provided, they will find that what is being presented is
based on documented evidence. Any corrections, clarifications & further points regarding the film
are found on the Clarifications page. Non-Profit DVDs / Free Video Downloads are
available through the Downloads page.
That being said, It is my hope that people will not take what is said
in the film as the truth, but find out for themselves, for truth is not told, it is realized.Thank You"
As far as the income tax thing goes..... If you actually believe that you dont have to pay federal income tax try it. See if the US government doesn't come and garnish your wages.
How can anybody refute this documentary w/out doing any of your own research and have nothing to back up your rebuttal?
Here are some facts:
There have been countless federal trials against tax-evaders where the defendant got off because the IRS and the fed couldn't provide
a law that said we have to pay taxes. It was a law that they attempted to pass in 1916 but not enough states ratified it, which rules it dead in the water.
Nothing more has happened since then. The law still is non-existenet to this day. This is fact.
THis film tells the whole story: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1656880303867390173
The above statements about not enough states ratifying the law is simply incorrect. In 1913 the disagreement was about the actual verbiage in the law.
I know this is a wikipedia entry but it sums up this tax discussion pretty well.
