The federal Reserve does pay most of the money it gets from interest on the government debt back to the government via treasury, but it dident start doing that till the 1940's or so.

i dont agree with that article on everything but it does make some good points.
i dont really feel like researching anything they say so i guess i have to take their word for it.
As far as the income tax goes, the government enforces it without a law, thats why rich people pay it. you know theres no law, the irs knows theres no law, but if you knew you were going to get thrown in jail regardless, you wouldent question it either. ive seen court cases where the judge wont allow the defendant to use the supreme court ruling on the income tax in the case. they get thrown in jail.
