OK, I’ll Play, Let’s Suppose I’m Wrong
If we accept the government’s claim that they are
authorized to tax the fruits of our labor directly, as they have been
doing. What is the end result of an
extension of that power to its theoretical ends?
If we accept the government’s argument that the first
tax (under the Tariff act in 1913) was
actually imposed on the income of citizens in America in the direct fashion
that it is claimed (rather than only to be withheld from
foreigners as has been shown), and that the Supreme Court upheld that
claim, then the government has the right to change the rate of taxation to
whatever percent it deems necessary (or desirable), and there is nothing you
can do about it! Right?
You can see that the tax
originated at only 1% , and everybody knows that today’s rates have been
raised to 15%, 28%, 31%, 36%, etc., and there is nothing we can do about it
except pay the tax, because the government holds the power to do this. Right?
Then …
If we take this assumed taxing power to its
theoretical extreme, what is the obvious end result when the government decides
it is necessary or desirable to tax the fruits of our labor at a rate of
100%.
IS THERE
ANYTING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT THEN? WHY?
What happens if we allow this system to exist is:
WE
ARE EFFECTIVELY REDUCED TO A NATION OF SLAVES – THAT’S WHAT ?
When the government decides to raise the rate to 100%
(because, under this system, it can you know), and you are left with nothing
for your day’s labor, without anything at all to eat, or wear, or sleep in, or
live in, or exchange for any of these things after a hard day’s work (and it
will be hard, believe me), will you then understand, and come to wish, that you
had thought this all through now and taken action?
You see, as soon as you concede the power to tax
directly at even 1% , you give away everything you ever had, your property,
your labor, your wealth, your freedom, everything. Once the power to take directly is granted,
you cannot dispute how much is taken.
So, either I am right on all of this, or in accepting
the government’s proposition that it now may tax directly (because of the 16th
Amendment), you abandon your private property rights, you abandon your right to
work, you abandon your right to control and dispose of the fruits of your own
labors as you see fit, and you deny the existence and protections of the 13th
Amendment (which bars slavery and involuntary servitude). You abandon the founding father’s vision for
the nation, you abandon their legacy of freedom and prosperity and rule by
self-determination that they fought so hard to acquire and that so many of them
gave their lives to secure for you and your progeny, and you abandon all hope
for your children to ever truly experience any of these things.
If you accept these assertions, you accept that the
entire nation and all of its property and all of its labor has been completely
socialized under the 2nd Plank of the Communist
Manifesto (and others) and that our entire system of private property was
converted in an instant by this Supreme Court decision and tariff act in 1913
(without telling the American People of that course of action).
Finally, you accept that the ultra-conservative
Supreme Court of 1913 knowingly did all of these things, after completely
rejecting all of them in the Pollock v Farmer's Loan
& Trust Co. decision just a few short years before!
In that instant where you accept this claim of the
government (IRS), in the twinkling of an eye, everything is converted to the
socialized property of the state, and the citizens are left with only what the
state deems it necessary or prudent to leave the poor peons with (formerly We
The People).
I guarantee you the Supreme
Court of 1913 didn’t do that, and if they had, it would be our duty under
the Constitution to undo their ghastly deed, just as we un-did the Dred Scott
decision and the slavery laws of the South.
But they
didn’t. They tell you in the very
first sentence of the Brushaber decision that the income tax is part of a
tariff act (which can only apply in the foreign jurisdiction, (mostly to
foreign activity) and cannot be applied within the fifty states to a citizen).
And that’s
what is still in the law today, a tax
that is collected at the source, indirectly, through the duty to retain and pay
or withhold tax from subject persons, who are all
foreign.
So, you can believe me - and take heart through your
own faith in God that I am exposing the irrefutable fact that something
extremely sinister is afoot here, or you can abandon everything you have ever
been taught to believe in about America, our freedom, the Constitution and your
rights under it, forever.
Think about it, and then choose carefully what you
will accept, and who you will accept it from.
The
government is lying to you (again, still, and always - WMD).
