During 2009, prisoners managed to collect a whopping $39.1 million in
undeserved refunds from the IRS. $19 million went to prisoners in just
three states: Florida, Georgia, and California.
USA Today
reported that as outrageously high as those amounts are, the true
amount tax dollars that have been stolen could be even higher. The
audit that the IRS has just concluded found a large number of
fraudsters, but without examining every prisoner's tax return for
fraud, it is impossible to know.

According to another article I read, simply using the private scrip known as federal reserve notes to conduct your business makes you subject to a tax. It is a privilege to discharge a debt. As opposed to paying a debt with real money such as gold or silver. Now I understand how the IRS gets away with it.
Notice that this is an IRS statement. If you listen to the IRS, 100 percent of the wages and profits in the U.S. belong to them.
