Income Taxes are a Direct Un-apportioned Tax

[Keith Broaders]

Article I, Section 2:

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.

In other words the National government is authorized to collect taxes from the states based on their populations, but is not authorized to tax the people directly.

On May 21, 1895, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a direct tax on personal income was unconstitutional as a result of the case of Pollock v. Farmers‘ Loan and Trust Company. The lawsuit had been precipitated by the 1894 Income Tax Act. The Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision stated that a “direct tax” on the “income of real and of personal property” was “unconstitutional and void.”

Federal Income -  tax

It really tells it right in the title in plain English but the Rockefeller education system has taught us to read without comprehension. They have given ordinary everyday words special meanings in the income tax code to mislead us. For instance, "being engaged in a trade or business" means you run a government office. I bet you thought Fred's garage was a trade or business. According to the tax code it is not! In the tax code you can only receive wages by working for the feds however if you make out your 1040 and swear you are working for the feds they'll take your word for it and prosecute you if you cheat. Actually very few Americans owe taxes. The income tax code was cracked in 2002 by Pete Hendrickson. Mr. Hendrickson wrote a how-to book so that anybody could fill out their forms correctly. It's title is "Cracking the Code". Since then thousands of people have gotten back all they paid in. Some even got interest! Copies of hundreds of these refund checks can be seen on Pete's website. The site has the unlikely name www.losthorizons.com  Most of the good stuff is usually near the bottom of Pete's site so scroll down and spend some time and look for the honor roll to see those checks.

The 16th Amendment was Never Legally Ratified. It was Passed into LAW by a Handful of Liberals who stayed behind in DC during Vacation Break

[Morton Thomson Jr.]

You're thinking of the Federal Reserve Act. The 16th Amendment was "passed" in Feb. of '13. And you're right. It was never lawfully ratified.

[Victor I Pirie]

Yes it was Passed. But not Legally according to the Constitutional Rules. Normally it takes at least 2/3 of All the members to pass an Amendment. If I remember right, but look into how many voted it into law. Less than 10% of the members were present.

The Federal Reserve Act had more than enough members of Congress, Senate and the President to get it passed into law

[Morton Thomson Jr.]

Again, you're conflating the 16th with the FRA. The 16th Amendment was passed by Congress, but never lawfully ratified by the required number of states, even though the Secretary of state at the time, Philander Chase Knox, "declared" it to be "passed" anyway.
As for the no quorum/midnight passing of the FED Reserve Act, that is the one that was done on 12/23/1913. It was done with extremely unlawful actions, by a mere handful of Senators after sending everyone else home for the Holidays. OK? So let's have a clear understanding of what we're talking about here.

[Victor I Pirie]

All I said at first was the 16th amendment was not Legally ratified. I never said anything about the FRA in this discussion. And from what I have read, a great many of Congress, Senate, and even Woodrow Wilson signed the FRA into Law. If I'm wrong, message me with the Facts, and I will sit down and shut up

[daniel allan:pendergast]

I have Bill Benson's book but I'm not sure what difference it makes whether the Code, the 16th so-called amendment or any of that was lawfully passed. It doesn't have to and it doesn't have to be constitutional. Its private law for their subjects.

If you had a business [ABC Company] with employees and had a rule that each employee would have $20 a month taken from their pay to maintain the restrooms, how far would an argument go that the rule is unconstitutional? The rule applies to their employees. Its private.

Now if you come along and say, hey, that's a good idea because it helps to keep the rest rooms clean and sanitary. I'll help out with that-- and you sign [under penalty of perjury] that you are to be regarded as an employee of ABC Company. Wouldn't you look rather foolish to jump up and start yelling that taking $20 out of your check when you aren't employed by ABC Co. is unconstitutional?

I've heard many arguments regarding the BC, the application for a SS Number, etc. and how those events pulled you into taxpayer status, however I don't believe that any of those things created a liability.

What created a liability was not the application for a tax ID number, or an SS number. The liability arose when you used that number on a tax form and signed under penalty of perjury that you wanted to be an employee of ABC Co. [U.S. citizen, resident alien, individual, taxpayer].

What is the purpose of the SS# and who does it belong to? It belongs to the SS Administration and it is used by Govco to keep track of all the commercial activity of their SM. Any time the SM starts to do any kind of commercial activity such as apply for electricity, a bank account, a job, etc. don't they always want you to give them the SS#? That's clear evidence that the SM is an important tool in your kit. Its your transmitting utility. Its how you interact with their commercial system. Without it you have an extremely difficult time obtaining the essentials unless you are hardy enough to live off the grid, grow your own food, make your own clothes, etc.

The big problem most face is that Govco uses the SM to control us. They operate under the presumption that we will never figure out their game and that, since we have never rebutted the presumption, we are the surety for their SM. We show up in court to pay the fine and do the time for their SM named in all caps on the court docket.
