Why DO we pay taxes, anyway?

I've heard for a long time the argument that because Ohio was the deciding vote in the law that authorized income taxes, the fact that at the time it wasn't actually a state -- something about it not being ratified, or signed off by a judge, or something -- that income taxes aren't really legal.

I've never really bought off on that, but apparently there's a bigger, more direct question. According to WORLD on the Web one Vernice B. Kuglin has been acquited on charges of tax evasion after sending multiple letters to the IRS demanding that it explain to here exactly what Federal statute requires her to pay taxes.

Interesting.
