IRS - The Internal Rip-Off Scheme


I have been trying to catch up on some reading. While doing so, read a piece about Bush, Jr promising to cut taxes. Made me wonder if it will be like his daddy - Read my lips, Bush - "No More Taxes" Or, something to that effect. Anyway, the man lied.

Also, read a piece about people inheriting their father’s estate with a huge chunk of it going to the IRS. Assessors were coming in to value the property and the whole ball of wax. My God, what is wrong with the people of this nation?

First, the IRS has absolutely no power to take any of the estate. Not they, nor Congress, nor any other government agency can legally demand and seize any of the estate. The IRS is stealing from the family - and the IRS is stealing from you.

The Constitution prohibits direct taxation on any citizen of the 50 states unless they have an income from a foreign source with which we have a tax treaty. The 1040 is used as a work sheet for Form 2555, used for reporting such foreign income in excess of $70,000. No other form, including the W-4 must be filled out and signed by a citizen of the 50 states.

You see, the tax code, USC 26, Subtitly A, clearly states who may or may not be taxed. You won’t believe me so I am not going into detail but citizens of the 50 states are not listed under operations and sources of "gross income". Only foreign sources are.

Your income earned domestically isn’t taxable in the form of “federal income tax”. Federal income tax is just that, tax imposed on citizens of the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and Greater Samoa.

Haven’t you ever wondered about the “federal” in federal income tax or the “Internal” in the Internal Revenue Service. It is federal because it applies only to the home of the federal government and, internal, because it applies to the home of the federal government.

Contrary to what you have been led to believe, the United States as defined in the Code is only the District of Columbia, the home of the federal government. Citizens of DC, because of not being part of the united States of America, can have direct tax imposed. Whether they be in the fifty states or at home in the District, they are liable for federal income tax as elected officials and residents of the US Government (District of Columbia).

But, you, as an ordinary citizen of one of the 50 states, are not. Each state is still sovereign and not subject to USC 26, Subtitle A tax, providing all income is domestically earned.

The IRS, along with the government, perpetrated this hoax many years ago (roughly 86 if we go back to the original lie, the 16th Amendment) and worded every document so as to confuse and mislead. The IRS does not have the power, nor does Congress, to change the Constitution without ratification by the states. Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4 prohibits direct tax imposed on earnings and remained as written. Thus, with this clause in effect, the 16th Amendment did not authorize Congress to impose tax on individual's income directly.

But, those devious crooks, the Congress of the US, along with IRS thieves, gleefully misinterpreted the Code and the 16th Amendment while fully aware of Constitutional limits concerning one’s earned property. And the people of this nation fell into line like a bunch of cattle heading in to get their heads bashed in.

People didn’t bother reading (and still don’t) the Constitution, USC Subtitle A, nor Subtitle C, and, because of their own ignorance, began shelling out their hard-earned dollars to an organization that should never have been established except on a very small scale to collect from DC citizens, elected officials of the federal government, from people in possessions of the US (meaning only the District of Columbia), and from aliens or privileged organizations (corporations).

(Addendum: Actually, the Internal Revenue Service was originally the Internal Revenue Bureau of Puerto Rico and established only for the above reason, to collect tax 'internally' in the District of Columbia and US possessions. Ther Bureau's name was changed to the IRS but there isn't any legislation you will find that gives the IRS legal power over any citizen of any sovereign state.)

So, it was easy for the most crooked organization that has ever existed on Earth, the government of the US and its muscle, the IRS, to take people’s property, their earnings, at any rate they wished. They do not and will not tell the truth - you must demand it and not fear this group of thieves and killers.

The truth is you, if you are a citizen of one of the 50 states, are not liable for 'federal' income taxation unless you have a foreign income in excess of $70,000 and if it’s source is a country with which the nation has a tax treaty.

The truth is you do not have to fill out a W-4 which is a voluntary statement you want your earnings covered by Social Security. You do not have to do it - you may stop it at anytime - you may do away with your social security number and never have to give it again.

If you own a business with employees, you don’t have to withhold. It must be an agreement between the worker and the owner or his authorized worker.

The above is the truth. If you read properly interpreted sources, you will find the same. If you weed the garbage out of the Code, you will find it is simple. Foreigner earnings at home (in the 50 states or US, the District of Columbia) it is taxable gross income.

Citizens earnings at home are not gross income and are not wages. Therefore, it is not taxable income.

When you hear these people who are trying to become president, or members of Congress who promise to cut taxes, demand the truth. The truth is a citizen of the nation with his earnings domestically derived should be paying zero in direct income taxes. That is - YOUR TAX LIABILITY IS Z-E-R-O. Any person who tells you otherwise probably hasn’t read the Constitution, nor USC 26, and gets income from you because of ignorance of the law.

The IRS has robbed the American pulbic out of trillions of dollars through what can only be called fraud . Well, Folks, that is the price you pay for your ignorance and fear to act. And the Internal Rip-Off Scheme will stay safe and sound until each and every citizen of every state demands their Constitutional rights be fully observed and the laws as written obeyed.

Just as an added note, take a look at the flag in a federal court. It has a fringe around it. And, then take a look at the flag of the united States of America. It does not, nor does it have 51 stars. Thus, the District of Columbia is NOT part of the Union but is a separate entity that does not have the same Constitutional rights as the citizens of the states.

Also, should you happen to check the code number on the old 1040 you have been treating as required, you will find it is actually a worksheet for a number of forms. The form that would apply to you as a citizen of the 50 states working a regular job domestically, is Form 2555, the form to declare FOREIGN income from a tax treaty country.

Or, you can as many thousands are, just ignore this and continue letting the government steal your hard-earned money.
