It’s Tax Day and you are getting scammed once again
Personal Liberty ^ | 4/18/2016 | Bob Livingston

Posted on 04/18/2016 5:30:41 AM PDT by HomerBohn

Millions of Americans are programmed to accumulate records, file an income tax form, and report their income in U.S. dollars by “Tax Day,” which this year, for reasons which make sense only to government functionaries, is April 18.

Americans pay their income taxes based on “self- assessment.” They believe that they are required to do this. They believe that what they pay to the IRS supports government expenses and is necessary to the federal budget process.

This scam is based on a fiction called the U.S. dollar. Everybody believes in the dollar, just as children believe in Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny. However, the dollar, just like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, does not exist. The dollar is not a weight or substance of anything. It is a fiction. Not one person in a million understands this. As a result, millions and millions of Americans are victims of a scam based on pure fiction.

Every spring, just before tax filing time, the income tax scam gets media hype. The purpose of this is to intimidate the “taxpayers” into conformity. It’s a rehash of the annual April game, but it works.

Over the years I have read many books and publications by tax patriots. They all agree that the income tax is illegal, unconstitutional, and that 99 percent of Americans who file are not required to do so by the tax code itself or by any court rulings. I believe them.

Some of these people have done their homework and they have developed attacks upon the income tax system that have had limited success. Some of them have created masterpieces by using the IRS code, court rulings and case law to prove the illegality of the income tax. They have done equally well at proving that most people are “persons not required” to file an income tax form and pay a tax.

However, I caution here that there are far more failures than successes at fighting the income tax. It’s not that the deck is stacked against you when you enter the King’s Court. It’s that the King has all the cards, doesn’t share the rule book, interprets the rules in its own favor always, changes the rules whenever convenient, and owns all the judges.

How has such a disgraceful spoils system that produces a living for tens of thousands of government functionaries and tens of thousands of accountants and lawyers, while costing Americans millions and millions of hours of record keeping — to say nothing of the billions and billions of dollars in taxes on their labor — been allowed to go on for generations? The reason is that the income tax system is truly witchcraft and few will ever untangle the mystery.

I have never seen a tax patriot explain the reason why we have the income tax system. The income tax system is not a tax collecting system. Of course, I know how this sounds. Nevertheless, it is a true and accurate statement. I just said that it is witchcraft. You do not come here to read reinforced deceptions.

Now, I repeat: The income tax system and the IRS is not collecting taxes as income for the government. The only way for you to understand this statement is to understand what the dollar is.

The dollar is not substance, it is a fiction. Can the IRS be collecting fictions?

Since there are no dollars of anything, what is current as money? The 1966 Federal Reserve publication, “Keeping Our Money Healthy” gave us the answer in saying “our system works only with credit.”

The Fed publication “Modern Money Mechanics” elaborates:

Transaction deposits are the modern counterpart of bank notes. It was a small step from printing notes to making book entries crediting deposits of borrowers, which the borrowers in turn could “spend” by writing checks, thereby “printing” their own money.

There is the answer. Our money is credit; a belief system. Credit is not substance. It is a fiction or mental creation.

So what is the process called when you write a check to the IRS? One of the functions of the IRS is to regulate consumption. The IRS reduces the numbers of credit in your bank account by the amount or numbers that you put on your check. Naturally, this reduces your consumption. You have paid nothing to the government as taxes by this process. However, everyone thinks he or she has paid the government until they learn that the U.S. dollar is a fiction manipulated in the public mind with numbers.

This is not child’s play. It is a scam of monumental proportions based on the most sophisticated propaganda in the history of the world. It has deceived millions of people and cheated them out of their labor. It is as totalitarian and immoral as words can describe.

The income tax system: 1.Is an information gathering system; a spy system. 2.Regulates consumption as described above. 3.Is a fraud created to cover a bigger fraud; the government gets everything for nothing. Why would the government need your taxes when it creates unlimited credit and “pays” it in exchange for goods and services? “If governments should refrain from regulation (taxation) the worthlessness of the money becomes apparent and the fraud can be concealed no longer.” Quote by John Maynard Keynes, author of Economic Consequences Of The Peace, 1920. 4.Is a socio-political system used to redistribute wealth. It takes from the producers and gives to the nonproducers. The bureaucrats identify with the nonproducers because they are themselves nonproducers. 5.Commands loyalty to the system from an army of lawyers and accountants who parasite on “taxpayers.” 6.Commands loyalty from the organized church who has worshipped the beast by incorporation and by receiving the privilege of “tax exemption.” What a disgrace before God! No wonder the church is deceived. A so-called tax exemption is a political privilege. This guarantees that the church is a political arm of the state.

The IRS is the enforcement political agency of the government. And it is used as a tool to intimidate and silence contrarian thought, as we learned from the IRS scandal in targeting conservative and Tea Party groups, and in many scandals prior to that. It is used to ensure conformity.

A democracy (another fiction) is in reality rule by an oligarchy (a few families and corporations) who use the election charade to hide a totalitarian government. Therefore, in a “democracy” there is the absolute requirement of political conformity. The fact that the IRS is a political agency to enforce political conformity is no longer secret.

When the IRS puts someone in jail, they do not go to jail for failure to “pay taxes.” They could not pay taxes if they wanted to because there is no substance as money. The IRS puts people in jail for not conforming politically.

The IRS uses the code words “tax protester” to tag any political dissident. People who are arrested and jailed by the IRS are political prisoners because they are unwilling to file information about themselves and swear to it “under penalty of perjury.” The giving of information, the testifying against one’s self or the confession of judgment on “tax” forms is all a political process and has nothing at all to do with paying taxes. The IRS is the American Gestapo, the state secret police. Herr Heinrich Himmler, head of the Nazi Gestapo, was a piker compared to the American IRS.

The IRS is a monument to the despotism and deception of propaganda that has turned this nation into a police state with all the appearance of benevolence.

Now my friends, the IRS agents who harass you may honestly believe that they are collecting taxes that you owe the government. They have no understanding whatsoever of what they are involved in. They also do not know that the dollar is a fiction and that it is impossible to collect fictions. They can reduce your numbers in your bank account, but this does not constitute payment of anything. There is no money going to Washington as taxes, not one penny.

The great entrapment system deceptively named the “Internal Revenue Service” has successfully deceived and intimidated millions of Americans. The income tax, the income tax code, and all supporting rulings are a fiction. The money creators created a fiction as money, and then they created another fiction to cover the fraud.

People believe that fictions are real and that fictions are the truth when they have only fictions in their minds.

Conclusions: The IRS deception works simply because the American people have been programmed to believe in a fiction called the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar cannot be measured by the five senses. Green strips of paper with numbers on them are not dollars. They are only symbols of dollars. But belief in the dollar as substance (not fiction) is so ingrained and widespread that it ranks with religion.

When Americans discover that the government and its symbiotic partner, The Federal Reserve, create credit in unlimited amounts, they will know that the idea of income taxes is nothing more than political subterfuge. They will know that federal budgets and national debts are fictions and diversions. They do not exist.

When the government creates credit and passes it into circulation in exchange for goods and services, it is stealing. It is exchanging non-substance — a fiction — for substance. It is theft on an unbelievable scale.

American politicians are involved with the cover-up of the world’s greatest fraud. They hold no congressional hearings on the truth of the Federal Reserve System and how “money” is created. I can think of no other name for this great deception except modern Mystery Babylon.

People have great fear and frustration in America because they are forced to be “politically correct.” Everything is measured by its “political correctness.” Political correctness is another code word for conformity.

There was a time, not so long ago, when the central government collected NO taxes from corporations and individuals.

After 1912 that was 'subtly' changed with a very modest tax on incomes.

Over the years it's skyrocketed to the point that the largest chunk of taxes goes to the central socialist government. Your pocket is deeply picked in order to run a bloated, fat cat bureaucracy that is choking the productivity out of this pitiful nation.

America is rather like a whitened corpse drained of all it's blood to feed the insects who swarm about the slop trough. Government can not solve a single problem, it only mandates more problems, the more it does, the more rights the people lose, the more it taxes the less it gets, the more it hires, less is produced, they produce nothing of value, only grief and corruption.

Any economics professor worth his salt will tell you this.

Majority of Americans pay no taxes. It’s the rest of us that get screwed. I obviously do something wrong because I have not only paid monthly federal but also write a check every year. It goes in the mail today. 2,361.00. Yuk!

It’s always disheartening to see the Fed tax box on my W2 and realize I’m getting very little in return for the $ they suck out of my paycheck over the year.

First, let's see what that old, nasty Bible has to say in 1 Samuel 8:

1 Samuel 8:4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah;
1 Samuel 8:5 and they said to him, "Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations."
1 Samuel 8:6 But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us."And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
1 Samuel 8:7 And the Lord said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.
1 Samuel 8:8 "Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day-- in that they have forsaken Me and served other gods-- so they are doing to you also.
1 Samuel 8:9 "Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of the king who will reign over them."
1 Samuel 8:10 So Samuel spoke all the words of the Lord to the people who had asked of him a king.
1 Samuel 8:11 And he said, "This will be the procedure of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and place them for himself in his chariots and among his horsemen and they will run before his chariots.
1 Samuel 8:12 "And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and of fifties, and some to do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.
1 Samuel 8:13 "He will also take your daughters for perfumers and cooks and bakers.
1 Samuel 8:14 "And he will take the best of your fields and your vineyards and your olive groves, and give them to his servants.
1 Samuel 8:15 "And he will take a tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give to his officers and to his servants.
1 Samuel 8:16 "He will also take your male servants and your female servants and your best young men and your donkeys, and use them for his work.
1 Samuel 8:17 "He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants.
1 Samuel 8:18 "Then you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you in that day."
1 Samuel 8:19 Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, "No, but there shall be a king over us,
1 Samuel 8:20 that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles. "

And, since they asked for a king, God gave them one and has kept it that way with secular governments over the people since that time. Then, Jesus said THIS about taxes:

LUKE 1 20:21 And they questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth.
LUKE 1 20:22 "Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
LUKE 1 20:23 But He detected their trickery and said to them,
LUKE 1 20:24 "Show Me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?"And they said, "Caesar's."
LUKE 1 20:25 And He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
LUKE 1 20:26 And they were unable to catch Him in a saying in the presence of the people; and marveling at His answer, they became silent.

Bottom line...due to the sins of the people we have this mess upon us. The SOLUTION is for people to turn BACK to God completely and obey his word. If they do, we will have blessings upon us and a lot of this complete political corruption and garbage WILL be removed.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands…

8. The ways in which a great debt, so constituted and applied, will contribute to the ultimate end in view are both numerous and obvious. (1) The favorite few, thus possessed of it, whether within or without the government, will feel the staunchest fealty to it, and will go through thick and thin to support it in all its oppressions and usurpations. (2) Their money will give them consequence and influence, even among those who have been tricked out of it. (3) They will be the readiest materials that can be found for a hereditary aristocratic order, whenever matters are ripe for one. (4) A great debt will require great taxes; great taxes, many taxgatherers and other officers; and all officers are auxiliaries of power.

9. The management of a great funded debt and a extensive system of taxes will afford a plea, not to be neglected, for establishment of a great incorporated bank. the use of such a machine is well understood. If the Constitution, according to its fair meaning, should not authorize it, so much the better. Push it through by a forced meaning and you will get in the bargain an admirable precedent for future misconstructions.

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

Every year, some tax rebel posts this. And every year, the IRS gestapo rounds up a few dozen fools who believe it and actually think they're going to resist paying taxes on some constitutional grounds. Let me spell it out plain and clear:

He is correct. There is NO constitutional authority to levy taxes on income. It is involuntary servitude. It requires self-incrimination, illegal search and seizure, and violates the right to privacy.

AND NONE OF THAT MAKES AN OUNCE OF DIFFERENCE.

You can't seriously believe that the government is going to simply throw up its hands and walk away from a few trillion dollars just because of some minor impediment like the Constitution! Courts have repeatedly ruled -- in defiance of logic, jurisprudence, and reason -- that the government is entitled to a part of your money -- whatever part they arbitrarily decide, no less -- before you are. If you try to fight it, you will go to jail, your property will be seized, and YOU -- not the government thieves -- will become a criminal.

It's wrong. We all know it's wrong. Even the gestapo knows it's wrong. And that won't slow them down one bit.

So if you don’t pay, what happens?
That fiction becomes painfully real.
Money is an abstract, and useful, representation of value in lieu of the annoying practicalities of barter. Taxes fund government, which is more practical than anarchy or dictatorship.
There is much wrong with the system, but it is not wholly fictitious not useless. Denying its existence doesn’t absolve you of participation therein.

I had my own company, S corp. My taxes and forms were a pure pain in the ass. Usually having to get extensions as all the documents would take a while.

Well I closed it after 25 years, paid a fortune in FICA and state taxes in the business too, now work an salary job. I filed a 1040 EZ this year.

But the government lost a lot of income when I made that move. I lost the desire to work for the government....

He is correct.

The fact is we have a fiat money system where the value of the dollar is not pegged to anything tangible, butminstead is on the subjective full faith and credit of the us govt. Note they demand we have faith in govt.

They create this fiat money out of nothing as its pegged to nothing. They create it out of notjing when they tell the fed to print more to put in circulation, and they create it out of nothing via banks under fractional reserve lending.

There is absolutely no fiscal reason to have people pay taxes under a fiat money system. None. Its totally orwellian punitive, and former fed higher ups have said so.

And none of that logic makes an ounce of difference. You will continue to pay taxes, our currency will continue to be worthless fiat paper, and the parasite classes will continue to leech off us until we’re bled dry. Then the gestapo will step in, nationalize everything, and redistribute according to ability and need.

But we're not. Every April we get worked up about it and stomp around and fuss and fume and every April they do the same thing to us.

Our forefathers fought a revolution over far less taxation than this.
