Rush Limbaugh, Your Thu, 18 Feb 99 program is doing an excellent job revealing info about the country's taxes and the Income Tax. You pride yourself on telling the truth! You are displaying a great deal of ignorance about Income Tax, or you are just grossly ignorant. Or, maybe you are afraid to tell the truth about Income Tax? The Constitution sets up Excise taxes which Congress can do now. In fact, as I read the history books, the country was to be run on Excises, Duties and Imposts. So, no sales or flat tax is needed nor necessary: And, the best I can tell there is no Constitutional authority for either one. Congress can pass duties and imposts; and, excises. Has NAFTA and GATT amended the Constitution? NAFTA and GATT are UNconstitutional if they prohibit the collection of duties and imposts. The Constitution provides for a Direct Tax in accordance with apportionment. There is no tax law on the books iaw apportionment. The Income Tax is voluntary, so says the IRS and the Federal Register. Voluntary means without legal obligation. If it were not voluntary and was mandatory for the ordinary Citizen of one of the several states; the Income Tax would be UNconstitutional; violating the 1st, 4th and 5th amendments at least. The 16th amendment has been proven to be falsely ratified; therefore, it is null and void. So, it stands to reason that the Income Tax laws based on the 16th must then be null and void also. Doesn't it? And, because the supreme court and the Congress have not properly exposed this fact; this lack of action is causing great disrespect for these people in these high offices. The fraud is also causing more disobedience with these alleged laws. Besides, the US supreme court has said the 16th did not give Congress any new taxing power. Another US supreme court has said that "income" is Corporate profit or gain: Something hardly anyone in America has. So, we just need to obey the Constitution as it is. That is, the IRS and the Courts need to enforce the law as it is; and, not public policy instead of the law. If we are really a Nation of Law, why isn't the Law being obeyed; especially with respect to taxes and money??? Then, our economy may be so strong because people are learning how to stop paying the Income Tax. The IRS admits that about 35 million people that the IRS believes should be filing; are not filing. How come? In the early 80's the number was about 5 million; so said the IRS. So, 35 million not filing and paying is putting lots of money in the economy that the gov't is not getting. You are so ignorant it hurts. Shame on you. You need to research the written materials; that are becoming quite plentiful; of Irwin Schiff; Bill Conklin whose $50,000 award to one who can prove you can file a Form 1040 without violating your RIGHTS, has not been collected even by a couple of attorneys that have tried; John Kotmier of Save a Patriot Fellowship; Otto Skinner; Free Enterprise Society in Clovis Calif; and many others. See IRS Publication 21 where it says its up to the individual to decide whether or not one is liable for the Income Tax. So, if one would learn the law, it would be readily apparent that Income Tax doesn't pertain to hardly any of us. So, decide you are not liable and stop volunteering. Doesn't that seem the Common Sense thing to do? Or, the IRS and our Congressmen could tell us where we have been made liable for the tax. They never answer this question! Thousands have asked; even in Federal District Court. However, the Congressional Research Service has said when asked by Senator Inouye in a letter to Mr Fred M. Ortiz that, "there is no provision which specifically and unequivocally requires and individual to pay income taxes." (26 Jun 1989) How about the NY Times interview, 5 Jul 1995 of the head of the IRS, M.M. Richardson, who said filing out tax forms is voluntary. See the article, "The Anti-Tax Man Cometh," that begins on page D1 , Times business section. If you don't have to fill out the forms, how can one pay such a tax? Everyone in the nation should be asking tax preparers what law makes them liable for income tax. Show us the law! We are so brainwashed we just do it, no questions asked. And, because we are scared to death of, supposedly, our own gov't, we do it. We are not really free. You need to learn the law, my friend! And, even though afraid, to tell the truth anyway. How about It??? FOR GOD, FAMILY and Country; Milt Herman |
