It's all one big illegal administration run by the cabal.

A right to all of it? No. Taxation should be fair, but clearly the Constitution allows for taxation.

Sure it does and no one said otherwise. The problem comes when the government bastardizes the English language to extract a tax on an item most people never had and never will have ("income"). Properly understood, the word means "the profit or gain derived from an investment or from engaging in some type of privileged activity." No one who works for wages or a salary in an occupation of common right has ever had any income, at least not from their job.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

Specifically what does it allow for ?

Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.*

No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state.

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. *

*The income tax would be unconstitutional before the 16th amendment but now is legal.

Your problem is you define "directing" your life, and controlling activities as anything beyond the level of control you call for, then demonize. The path between total anarchy and total tyranny is continuous. You pretend it is binary.

Your problem is your attempt to misdefine the beliefs of others through your own ideological prism. I define directing my life as any attempt by an over arching authority to direct my individual non-threatening of another behavior i.e., my likes, dislikes, or activities. It is not the province of a government of a free people to intrude and micromanage the affairs and activities of the free citizenry.

What level of taxation is tyrannical?

Any amount beyond that needed to pay for the necessaries of a free society i.e., Courts, Coinage, and defense against aggression by other states - at the federal level, and at the State and local level you could add legitimate public safety (Fire and Police), sanitation (including potable water), and roads. Taxation becomes tyrannical when it becomes so suppressive that a formerly free citizenry MUST perform and conform to taxation which impedes their exercise of their natural liberty and/or is used for any purpose other than necessaries as previously defined. Taxation is tyrannical when tax laws are used to force others to conform to standards imposed by another, or for the benefit of another able bodied individual. It is NEVER justified to support a private for profit enterprise. It is tyrannical when it becomes so high, through graft and corruption - as it now is, that it threatens the survival of the individual to support unjustified activities by the State.

Your argument is semantics and to tell you the truth I don't even think the semantics argument hold, but it doesn't matter. The original intent of the 16th amendment was to authorize wage, capital gains, property gain and profit taxes. There was an income tax on wages, that was called an income tax, before the amendment was even written.

The 16th amendment which purports to authorize such taxation, by the accumulating weight of evidence, was never legally ratified under that Constitution and was imposed by dictat - illegally so. However, one cannot get an honest hearing on the matter in any of the corrupt courts of the land. The "We the People" Foundation has proven this as they have been rebuffed at all levels of government - including the Congress which first agreed to accept the matter under the right of petition but then deleted it from the calendar and will not accept any consideration of it regardless of weight of evidence.

Further, unknown to most people, the IRS is not a Government Agency but a Private Corporation. The sole function of the "Income" Tax, semantics aside, is to fund the Feral Reserve and pay off the Banksters who have assumed control of our government.

I've heard this claimed but as far as I can tell it was ratified by 42/48 states.

The IRS is a federal agency that is part of the Department of the Treasury.

That is a yes and no. Philander Knox's words were not that it had been ratified but that it "was in effect".

To be validly ratified it has to be passed in the State Legislatures exactly as written and presented. Several states modified the wording to suit their own preferences, and one (Tennessee if I recall) passed a measure stating the exact opposite but was counted as one of the states that ratified. There were other irregularities which memory fails me on, but it has all been documented with court certified documents.

There are assertions by interested parties who benefit that it was ratified but the evidence suggests strongly that it fell short of the required 3/4 of the states.

Guess again buckwheat. Although the IRS uses Treasury Dept. Letterhead it is not legally a part of the Treasury Department. A very interesting court case illustrated this last year. The IRS brought up a failure to file charge on a gentleman for not filing. When the Defense presented their brief the Government withdrew its case, WITH PREJUDICE meaning that it cannot again be reopened. Why? The Defense's argument rested solely on the point that in order to be required to file all government forms, per the Paperwork Reduction Act, must have a valid OMB control number justifying why the information is required. The law applies only to Federal Government Agencies and you must be a government agency to be able to get a valid OMB number. The current IRS 1040 DOES NOT have a valid OMB number. It has an OMB number on it but it is not valid and is thus a fraudulent misrepresentatation as was illustrated by the haste with which the government withdrew their case.

Yeah, it is a crooked racket or scam. What people need to do is to stop using the word "income" to mean "everything that comes in." People have been brainwashed to accept that "daffynition" and it is total bs. Income is a profit or gain (all are synonymous terms) derived from an investment of capital or from participation in privileged activities or occupations. No tax is due from people who earn a living by engaging in labor in an occupation of common right. There IS a way that one can derive income from labor--the labor of other people. If you have people who work for you and who make money for you over and above what you pay them--and if they didn't why would you hire and keep them?--that meets the definition of income FROM labor. Not your own labor but that of others who are putting profits in your pockets.

Income tax means takes on wages

Yes, it does mean they TAKE the wages (of most) through a corrupt and wrongly applied "law." And of course there is a "debate" about it. The Constitution says (in Article III) that the "compensation" of the statist whores--er, I mean "judges"--can't be diminished. Does it "diminish" their compensation to claim that it is something it is not and steal part of it? People who argue that it would not diminish their compensation would also argue the sky is a deep, deep red if their masters told them it was.

The FBI was created because they were to be "the untouchables", meaning not corruptable by organized crime. Other FedGov agents were taking bribes/payoffs by Al Capone/etc and FedGov didn't have a way to fight moonshiners/bootleggers/gangsters in an effective manner.

Income tax in 1913 meant wage tax.

I am going to attempt to explain to you just one more time--the word "income" means profit or gain (and those terms are synonymous). No one has acquired any "profit" when he exchanges his labor (which is his property) for another type of property. There is no profit in an equal exchange. It is an equal exchange because it is what one person agreed to work for and what the party they work for agreed to pay them. Assuming the person who is getting the work done isn't robbing the person they hire through payroll deductions and is paying the agreed upon amount, that is an equal exchange. Not income. Anyone who argues otherwise doesn't have any understanding of common law or a very good understanding of basic English.

And I'm going to tell you one more time. In 1913 and in 2009 a wage tax is called an income tax. The amendment was intended to allow a wage tax. You must look at the original intent of the amendment.

He's a time wasting shill for the status quo.


"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams

Yeah, sadly enough that seems to be the case.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

*The income tax would be unconstitutional before the 16th amendment but now is legal.
