Direct Unapportioned Taxes are Unconstitutional

[Keith Broaders]

Section 2.

"Representatives and direct taxation shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed." - Article I, Section II

Note:

It does not say taxes shall be apportioned among the people based on their income. In this section Congress is granted the authority to tax the states directly, but not the people.

This section prohibits the government of the United States from collecting taxes directly from people living outside of the District of Columbia.

The Constitution authorizes the central government to collect taxes from the states, but not the people. Each state is responsible to pay taxes to the central government based on their population.

It is stated in the Declaration of Independence that the people's lives and liberty were an endowment from God and that they are a God given right.

Since our right to own property is one of our unalienable rights, no individual or government has a right to take that which belongs to us.

A direct tax is one that is compulsory and they are unconstitutional. An indirect tax is a voluntary tax which is constitutional. Taxing individual's income or property is a direct tax and this is unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court has ruled on many occasions that taxing a man's labor is unconstitutional. Money that we receive in exchange for our services is not income. We enter into a contract and trade our time and talent for the goods and services we want.

Income is the gain that an individual receives from investments or corporate activity. The wages that an employee of a corporation receives is income. Anyone employed by the government earns income while the rest of us receive compensation.

In Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution the powers granted to Congress are enumerated. Any authority not delegated to Congress is prohibited. The Tenth Amendment asserts that any power not granted to the United States is reserved to the states respectively or to the people.

The powers delegated to Congress do not include the authority to pass laws pertaining to marriage, abortion and drug use.

You will discover in Article I Section 8 Clause 17 that the jurisdiction of Congress is limited to an area "not to exceed 10 miles square." In other words Congressional authority is limited to the District of Columbia.

Each state has the jurisdiction and the Constitutional authority to pass legislation on issues that have not been delegated to the Congress of the United States.

In order for the government of the United States to pass Constitutional legislation, Congress must first propose amendments granting them lawful authority. Any proposed amendment would need the support of 2/3 of the members of Congress as well as the approval of the legislatures of 3/4 of the states.

The courts today are unconstitutional corporations. They act as the administrative court for the for-profit corporation, the IRS. There's plenty to check, but the first is that the IRS is incorporated in Puerto Rico! Isn't that odd? Not in DC or even Delaware but off-shore. Makes ya think doesn't it?

While speaking of Puerto Rico. Have we noticed there is a push to make it a state? But nobody in Puerto Rico is asking to be a state. Who's idea is this and why? Could it have anything to do with the IRS being located there? IDK???

If statistics is your specialty, isn't it irrational that over 99% of tax issues brought into court usually favor the IRS. The foxes are guarding the henhouse!

Why would anyone choose to sue the IRS?

Lets look at the well known Willy Nelson case. The country singer promoted concerts to raise money to keep farmers from being foreclosed. The IRS bankrupted him for tax evasion from the concerts when he didn't have any "income", it went to save the farmers. No good deed goes unpunished! I think he ended up being rescued by others. If the ticket sales went to the farmers, you can bet they were taxed on income! Isn't the IRS guilty of double dipping?

The IRS is organized crime with many collusionary tenticles. Not Constitutional in the slightest interpretation. Then, none of the tax collected goes to funding government. It is laundered to foreign bankers.

Keith,

How can anyone pay taxes on an alleged debt with Counterfeit dollars backed by nothing but an endless supply of backed by nothing Federal Reserve Notes? I don't see how anyone can pay a non-existent debt with non backed bearer bond notes? Wouldn't it be illegal to pay a fictional debt with fictional dollars? Fraud upon Fraud is what is going on. If we continue this fraud, then we are the fraud. How can we pay off a fictional debt we never consented to in the first place?

I wasn't alive when WW I or 2 was fought, nor was I alive when the Korean war broke out, so how can I be taxed without my consent when I wasn't even alive to give my consent?

Time to default I say, start with a clean slate on a global scale and back my dollars with something that can't be counterfeited, I'd trade in lead for the penny, copper for a nickle, silver for a quarter or half dollar and silver for a dollar, gold for a twenty and Palladium and Platinum, Rhodium and the rest of the PMG metals for the larger face values. Hell, even nuclear waste can't be counterfeited. 

We have lots and lots of the latter metals right upstream at Hanford.

Hey Gary,

See my previous reply to Jim. (page 1)

This applies as case law and the IRS refuses to admit that they are misinterpreting the decision in Brushaber to their distinct advantage in a fraudulent manner.

Since when do the criminal defendants get to decide the verdict?
