Remember Ronald Reagan? He convened the Grace Commission that investigated waste and abuse in the federal government. To our nation’s astonishment, the commission reported that “…all individual income tax revenues are gone before any money is spent on services taxpayers expect from their government.”

Year after year and not a dime spent on what we expect! Not only are Americans being robbed on a monumental scale, our freedom is an illusion. Evidence of tyranny is strewn everywhere, for laws are written, in contrast to votes that disappear into black boxes.

Our Constitution mandates that only two classes of taxes can be imposed upon American citizens; direct and indirect. A direct tax must be apportioned, an indirect tax must be uniform, i.e. the same rate for all taxpayers.

In 1916 headlines across America proclaimed “Income Tax Ruled To Be Indirect.” The Supreme Court had just ruled on Brushaber v. Union Pacific, the first, the landmark case, regarding the constitutionality of the 16th Amendment. The Supreme Court decreed that a new, direct taxing power, not limited by apportionment or uniformity, would “Cause one provision of the Constitution to destroy another” and “If acceded to would create radical and destructive changes in our Constitutional system.”

With the Constitution at risk, the Supreme Court ruled to save America. According to the Harvard Law Review (vol. 29, pages 536-8) “In Brushaber, Mr. Chief Justice White construed the Amendment as a declaration that an income tax is ‘indirect,’ rather than as making an exception to the rule that direct taxes must be apportioned.”

Irrefutable proof that income tax is an indirect tax is found in Treasury Decision # 2303 (1916) which states; “The provisions of the Sixteenth Amendment conferred no new power of taxation, but simply prohibited Congress’ original power to tax incomes from being taken out of the category of indirect taxation, to which it inherently belonged, and being placed in the category of direct taxation subject to apportionment.”

An indirect tax must be uniform, income tax is not. Therefore, if there is a law requiring a citizen to file an income tax return, that law would be in obvious conflict with the above (and numerous other) Supreme Court Decisions. Our government has yet to cross that line. Instead, and in the Mother of All Conspiracies, our government deceives us and compels us to comply with… a law that does not exist.

For years citizens, labeled “illegal tax protesters,” have asked our government to show us the law that requires a citizen to file an income tax return. We The People Foundation is presently in federal court invoking the First Amendment’s Right to Petition in order to force our government to simply state the law. In response they claim “Sovereign Immunity” and remain silent.

Our government employs tyranny to enforce this nonexistent law. Tyranny that refuses to state the law, while at the same time insisting that filing is based on “voluntary compliance.” Tyranny that shrieks “frivolous” to the above Supreme Court decision and imprisons those who rely upon it. Tyranny that terrorizes citizens into blind obedience as they steal our property and use it to increase their power over us.

The Mother of All Conspiracies deceives us in countless ways. Here is just one example of many deceptions that permeate our tax code. Only withholding agents are authorized to withhold tax from a paycheck. Buried deep inside the Internal Revenue Code a withholding agent is defined in Section 7701(a)(16) which states, “The term ‘withholding agent’ means any person required to deduct and withhold any tax under the provisions of Sections 1441, 1442, 1443 and 1461.” The first three sections apply to nonresident aliens and foreign corporations, while 1461 simply makes the agent responsible for monies collected. The IRS website adds the following, “You may be a withholding agent even if there is no requirement to withhold from a payment,” (i.e. if an employee volunteers to have money withheld.)

There is the law, straightforward and not subject to interpretation. An employer is required to withhold tax from a paycheck only if the employee is a nonresident alien or foreign corporation. The bottom line is that because there is no law requiring a citizen to file, there is no law requiring withholding. Nevertheless, paycheck after paycheck, a terrorized nation submits to tyranny and to a government ran amok.

Instead of showing me the law, our dictatorship illegally assessed me for over 12 million dollars for income tax they claim due for a single year (I am a man of modest means). Then, without any due process, they confiscated my property. I live in a police state. Freedom does not exist for me.

Sometimes realization comes in a quantum leap, a New World View, as true as true can be. If I am enslaved, so are you. Take a leap or remain asleep. If you see the light, what now? Tyranny is an evil, vicious beast without a conscience. Perhaps, for your children’s sake, you can ask President Bush to simply state the law that requires a citizen to file. One law and the Mother dies. No law and freedom lies dead. America a vile caricature of the Founding Fathers vision. If he cannot state the law, we can take back America. It is that simple.

Meanwhile, as you await his response, be aware that there is only one candidate for president of the United States that acknowledges the perilous truth about income tax and vows to eliminate this tyranny during his first day in office. His name is Ron Paul.
