THE LIE

The greatest danger to liberty is not the government, but our own complacency and the willingness to allow those in government to do as they will while ripping our most important document to shreds.

I am angry. I am very, very angry. All my life I have wondered why in the world a country that fought a war to get away from taxation without representation would allow a concept such as ‘income tax’. I wondered and was angered every April but I was just like so many of you out there right now - that is just the way it is because people have told me so.

Now, I wonder no more as I have studied and - with the help of great patriots and constitutional, United States Code (USC), and Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) experts who maintain websites often at their own expense, such as Ed Akehurst of “The Center for Citizens’ Rights” - and others including Gordon Phillips of "Inform America” and sites such as “Taxgate.com” - now understand. (The experts, of course, also include those who wrote Constitution, Bill of Rights, and The Federalists Papers)

It has been tough and has involved many, many hours when I could have just been playing around and saying something like, “What the hell. I am going to keep on paying even if it is against the Constitution" which translated means, “I’ll keep paying out my money because it’s easier than fighting the government and its bully boy, the IRS.”.

You see, my study did not lead to the ‘understanding’ one might think I arrived at - that I now understand how much money it takes to operate a central government and why we must have income tax. Oh, no, that support comes from taxes 'allowed' by the Constitution of the United States of America.

What I have come to understand is I have been right in not understanding why so many died to get away from what they thought was violations of liberty. You see, what I came to understand is tax on citizens that is NOT allowed by the Constitution of the United States, the so-called “Federal Income Tax”.

I additionally came to understand the social security tax. You know, these are the taxes most Americans believe they are required to pay each and every year. They do so because of fear, intimidation, and absolutely falsely interpreted regulations rather than learning the applicable laws. This results in thousands of dollars (billions upon billions into the trillions nationwide) being taken from citizens who owe absolutely nothing whatsoever.

Your helpful CPA could tell you the truth - that is - if he or she has ever studied the Constitution and constitutional law, USC 26 (Subtitles A and C), and applicable Codes in the Code of Federal Regulations with the intent of understanding “gross income”, “source”, “items”, and other correct definitons and interpretations of existing law.

Of course, this would mean they would give up much of their incomes by determining within the laws as written whether any citizen of this nation has ‘taxable income’ and, therefore, a “taxpayer”. Why? Because no citizen with domestic earnings only owes one red cent of personal income tax.

Your IRS representatives in your district could tell you the truth - that is - if they wanted the truth known to every citizen and if they didn’t want to bully, beat, shoot, or otherwise harass citizens into paying money into a system that is based on as poorly written and confusing of documents as can be written. Yes, that’s right - the government hired special writers with the intent of fooling people into giving up their incomes.

The Secretary of Treasury could tell you the truth - that is - if the Secretary wanted the truth known to every citizen and if they didn’t want to essentially steal your hard-earned money by getting you to ‘sign’ a document or documents giving up your rights and by essentially committing perjury against yourself.

The Social Security Administration could tell you the truth - that is - if it didn’t want the money coming in to pay a bogus debt to a company that shouldn’t even exist, the Federal Reserve Bank (privately owned corporation, not a government entity!).

Your congressman/woman could tell you the truth - that is - if he or she believed in the highest law of the land and met their oaths of office in which they swear to uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States.

But, you and I know the truth is the furthermost concept from the government’s minds. So, here is the TRUTH concerning withholding tax, including the so-called “income” and social security summed up as simply as it can be:

1. Citizens of the 50 states receive "renumeration" NOT ‘gross income’ and are therefore not subject to federal income tax unless they have earnings in excess of $70,000 annually from a foreign source or from within a country in which we have a tax treaty.

Aliens do have gross income if earning within this country.

2. If an alien becomes a naturalized citizen, then his gross income converts to remuneration as with any citizen and he no longer is subject to federal income tax except if he has an earnings of greater than $70,000 from another country with which we have a tax treaty.

He no longer has to contribute, as with any citizen, to social security unless he volunteers or applies for such.

3. Citizens do not have to have a social security number nor be part of the social security system. Those who must receive a number are aliens earning an income within the union of states or foreign corporations earning money within the union of states and their children, or those who apply for benefits.

AMERICAN CITIZENS AND PAYROLL CLERKS OF ALL BUSINESSES OF ANY SIZE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS!!!

Citizens abroad and foreigners at home are essentially the ONLY people who have earnings subject to withholding of the so-called ‘federal income tax’ along with volunteers (or applicants) for Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholdings, commonly known as “social security tax”.

You, while trading your property, your work and services, for remuneration (earnings but not “income” defined as “wages”) owe nothing. Essentially, by signing a W-4 (you don’t have to do so by the way), you either LIE about your own citizenship or express your desire to be an applicant for a welfare, pyramid scheme).

Read the below until you decide to check it out properly, that is, with the actual laws, not IRS publications or your CPA, or some other so-called “expert” in taxes. There are many TRUE experts fighting for your rights and will help you as much as they have me. Now read it and memorize it.

YOU DO NOT OWE ONE CENT OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASED ON EXISTING LAWS. ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU OTHERWISE HAS NEVER READ NOR UNDERSTOOD THE LAWS, NOR THE CONSTITUTION, NOR DO THEY WISH YOU TO KNOW THE TRUTH. THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY.

If you take the time and effort necessary, you will understand we don’t need a new tax system. The system is fine as it is because it fully supports the Constitution of the United States which clearly states there may not be any tax directly without apportionment (proportionately shared by all citizens of all the states).

You know the simplicity of the truth. You can either take action and demand the laws be observed or lie down without a whimper as your earnings are stolen from you year after year from now on until this government destroys this nation and all it stands for.

Or - be a real whimp and let those of us who believe in this nation fight the battle without your help. Sometimes, I rather sadly think that is the “new” American Way.
