DEAR CITIZEN

DEAR CITIZEN,

Did you know that it is ILLEGAL

for the U.S.A. Government to

TAX YOUR INCOME?

HERE'S WHAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD...

The income tax is a federal tax to be paid by Federal employees - as for example, those working for the Government and residing in the District of Columbia. The only power to collect taxes that was granted to Congress by the U.S.A. Constitution can be found in Article 1 Section 8, first paragraph, which says NOTHING ABOUT OUR PAYING A SO-CALLED "INCOME TAX!"

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States of America: but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States of America; To borrow Money on the credit of the United States of America;..."

True, everyone is required topay a "consumption tax," which is build into the price of each item you purchase. Even a child who buys a little candy in a candy store! Those consumption taxes pay for the debt and the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States of America. The Government runs on this money! If you do not wish to pay this tax you simply do not purchase the item.

In 1913, We the People got Congress to add a 16th Amendment to our Constitution which stated:

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

That gave Congress the power toenact laws that tax income only when defined as "gains and profits;" or "income derived from investments." So if you invested money from a wage or salary, it could not yet be called "income." However, if you invested your wages and salaries and made a "profit" from any transaction, it was then called "income." That was how the Government began deviously to label your wages and salary as "income," calling a tax on income an "income tax."

In 1954 Congress further clouded the issue by creating a separate federal internal revenue code. Although it referred only to federal employees' wages and salaries, it introduced a new term, "gross income." Please note the attempt at a new definition:

"Except as otherwise provided in this subtitle, gross income means all income from whatever source derived including (but not limited to) the following items: 1) Compensation for services, including fees, commissions, fringe benefits, and similar items:..."

Please note "items" is another vague term used for government employees' wages and salaries! By associating the terms "items" and "compensations" with "services" in the federal internal revenue code's definition of "gross income," the impression is given that the federal income tax is a tax on the wages of the entire population!

That is how, my fellow citizens, the Internal Revenue Code gradually twisted the definition of "gross income' to justify levying a tax on your personal income, and labeling it, "The Income Tax!" It really amounts to an unconstitutional burden, even though considered to be valid by federal, state and municipal governments as well as by the courts.

The truth is, nowhere in the 50 United States Titles is it written that our personal incomes are to be taxed!

The federal income tax remains a violation of our personal income to this day. We have become economic slaves, and it is up to us to free ourselves by becoming informed about our Constitution and the Constitutional laws of the United States of America. (This little book is only 3 1/2" x 6 1/2")

Take this Statement to your Representatives in Congress and demand that you be relieved of YOUR unjust income tax bondage!

The old adage that there is nothing more certain that death and taxes should now be rephrased to read, "There is nothing more certain than death!"

Note: From the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD: The men who are wealthy, the men who have large incomes, do not intend to pay any proportionate part of the expenses of this Government if they can get out of it. The expect that the Government of the United States of America will protect all of their property and protect all of their income, but the protection of their incomes and of their property shall be paid by the poorer classes of the country, shall be paid by the men in humble circumstances and with modest means. That has been the rule heretofore, and they expect it to continue.

WORD GRIPES:

It's NOT "fanthum" Playthell - It's "fathom!" AWK!

It's NOT "umbreller!" It's "umbrella!" AWK!

It's certainly NOT "successfully recovered!" (how d'ya' spell 'r-e-d-u-n-d-a-n-t?") It's "recovered!" DUH!
