The American Revolution was sparked in part by unjust taxation. After all, the colonists in Boston rebelled against Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” and summarily tossed English tea into the harbor in protest in 1773.
Nowadays Americans collectively spend more than 6 billion hours each year filling out tax forms, keeping records, and learning new tax rules according to the Office of Management and Budget. Complying with the byzantine U.S. tax code is estimated to cost the American economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually – time and money that could otherwise be used for more productive activities like entrepreneurship and investment, or just more family and leisure time.
The majority of these six billion hours sacrificed by Americans to Washington each year goes to complying with a tax that didn’t even exist until 100 years ago – the federal income tax.
Worse still, this tax has become a political weapon for Washington to incentivize certain activities (home ownership, charitable giving, etc.) and to punish others. It’s a tax that follows Americans wherever they go in the world, and it’s one that was originally sold to the American people by President Woodrow Wilson as a means of “soaking the rich” during the so-called Gilded Age.
How did a country that was founded on the concept of limited government come to embrace such a draconian policy? And what does it say about Washington that tax reform has become synonymous with class warfare and corporate lobbyists?
Read on to learn the history of the 16th Amendment – which authorized the federal collection of an income tax – and how that power has ultimately meant the growth of Washington at the expense of just about everyone else.

The power to tax is the power to destroy. —McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 327 (1819)
DC’s favorite political weapon is the DOJ/FBI, but the income tax is pretty potent too.
The former is sword used against specific institutions and individuals, while the latter is a bomb dropped on a wide area.
The Great Fraud of 1930-33
1930 - Franklin Delano Roosevelt represents the United States of America, Inc., at the Geneva Conventions. GS nations agree to declare bankruptcy by treaty in international jurisdiction in May of that year. Plans to remove from the gold standard are made.
1933 -Three years later, FDR is elected President of the United States of America, Inc., and promptly pursues USA, Inc. domestic bankruptcy as well. The banks name their Trustee: the Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico. See Federal Title 5, Annotated, for details.
March 6, 1933 -The Conference of Governors is told that the United States of America (Incorporated) is bankrupt. They immediately "pledge" the "good faith and credit of their states and the citizenry thereof" in support. This can only refer to the Territorial "citizenry" as FDR already committed the Municipal citizens during his First Inauguration speech.
Nobody mentions that their states are merely franchises of the United States of America, Inc., and that their "citizenry" amounts to public employees, African Americans, and corporations formed under the auspices of the US, Inc.
Note: the actual Federation has sovereign immunity and can't go bankrupt.
Roosevelt issues Executive Orders announcing and implementing the domestic bankruptcy and moves to confiscate privately held American gold assets. In all, 20,000 tons are admitted to be taken, 6,000 to back the Federal Reserve, the rest to back the World Bank and IBRD and IMF.
The Federal Reserve ramps up its drive to sell people on its Federal Reserve Notes, a form of legal tender amounting to an 1.0.U. The process of collecting data on Americans also ramps up. Bureaus of Vital Statistics spring up and under the guise of census functions and keeping public records, public registries of property are set up and Birth Certificates are issued -to claim Americans as property: Human Resources.
Birth Certificates are used to register "vessels in commerce" as property belonging to the United States of America, Inc. and pledged to pay the debts of the already bankrupt governmental services corporation. The people who were left uninformed continued to use their Trade Names as always. The perpetrators claim that this establishes an "implied contract" and "implied consent" to be considered "citizens of the United States" when in fact there was no disclosure, no apparent offer, and no conscious acceptance of this proposition.
“United States Citizens" (Territorial Persons) and "citizens of the United States" (Municipal PERSONS) serve the Federal Government (Parent Corporations). They live either in a Territorial democracy or a Municipal oligarchy (theocracy) and have no constitutional guarantees; their labor and their assets are pledged as collateral backing government debt. In return, they receive benefits from the Public Charitable Trust (PCT) -all of which they pay for themselves. They are subject to every whim of Congress until 1968 and then have only "equal civil rights" -mere privileges to rely upon. If the birthright Americans lose their claim to their Natural and Unalienable Rights there will be nothing left as a standard for civil rights to be equal to -leaving the door open to total enslavement of the people of this country, and the debasement of our society at the hands of Congress acting as a "plenary" oligarchy: Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17.
Our private lawful Trade Names on the land are arbitrarily redefined to be public Foreign Situs Trusts operating in Admiralty. This is a fraudulent conveyance and a crime known as unlawful conversion practiced against Americans in Gross Breach of Trust. These newly created Foreign Situs Trusts are considered to be "franchises" of the bankrupt United States of America, Inc. and they are subject to the British Government under Admiralty Law. No Public Notice is given and no effort is made to separate Employees from Employers.
For Example: the Bankruptcy Trustees seize upon the United States of America, Inc.> the State of Wisconsin, Inc. > and John Joseph Average, an American Foreign Situs Trust, purportedly operating as a franchise of the USA, Inc., howbeit, without his knowledge or consent.
The Territorial State of State acts as Equitable Title Holder, with the babies left to hold the Legal Title to their own Estates, and presumed to be "infant decedents" throughout their lives. None of this is ever fully disclosed. In 1937, the Legal Title is given to the Municipal Government, and the baby is merely recognized as an "Authorized Representative" -an Employee of his own estate. The Municipal Government, doing business as the UNITED STATES, INC. creates its own franchise: JOHN JOSEPH AVERAGE, a foreign Puerto Rican Cestui Que Vie Trust registered in Washington, DC by the DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, to manage the Legal Title.
CUSIP Bonds based on the estimated value of our lifetime earnings are issued and traded on stock exchanges. This practice of trading and speculating in the value of human labor is used to fund the government. "Federal revenue sharing" and "block grants" are polite euphemisms for racketeering kickbacks and payments from selling tranches of human labor bonds and other "public assets".
This criminal scam based on non-disclosure, fraudulent conveyance, unlawful conversion of assets, impersonation, and semantic deceit runs from 1933 to 1999, when the bankruptcy of the United States of America, Inc. is finally settled and discharged -but the crime scheme continues ....
The "US TRUSTEES" -aka, the "United States Department of Justice" now reverses tahctics and fails to re-convey the stolen assets owed back to the American people and the American States.
Instead, they place claims of abandonment on our fictional Municipal ESTATE TRUSTS, and rename the original Foreign Situs Trusts and pretend that now, they are Public Transmitting Utilities. John Joseph Average, British-owned and controlled Foreign Situs Trust, now becomes John J. Average, a Public Transmitting Utility, owned as a franchise of a bankrupt Puerto Rican Electrical Utility.
UNITED STATES, INC. > STATE OF WISCONSIN > JOHN JOSEPH AVERAGE, FOREIGN GRANTOR TRUST ... is in the meantime seized upon by the Creditors of the UNITED STATES, INC. and USA, Inc., as abandoned Public Trust Property. The banks and others responsible for these deplorable crimes think that they can mount a "Claim on Abandonment" and steal everything in sight.
All these Principals: the Lord Mayor, the Queen, and Pope, owe the American People their assets back free and clear, and so do the courts and banks responsible for this grotesque Breach of Trust and mis-administration of American assets.
Two Forms of Law have been used to promote this fraud scheme and both are offended on behalf of the American victims of these crimes.
Under Admiralty Law, the applicable Maxim is: Possession by pirates does not change ownership.
We, the American States and People are owed back every purloined asset.
Under Roman Civil Law (the Law of the Municipal United States) the applicable Maxim is: Fraud vitiates everything it touches.
We, the American States and People, have been defrauded by our own Employees acting in Gross Breach of Trust and Contract.
We hereby move the opinion and conscience of the entire world as embodied by the International Court of Justice, the Court of the Lord High Steward, and the Vatican Chancery Court in our favor.
I am not a federal employee.
I do not receive a federal income.
I do not owe a federal income tax.
Or have I somehow been registered as being aforementioned without my knowledge or consent?
If so, this is an act of fraud and constitutes an unconscionable contract and is therefore null and void.
Wilson wanted big business money in typical fascism... Is why he promoted WWI, because it promoted mass mobilization.
The IRS is a mass mobilization of a people to the jack booted government behind the curtains, playing with IRS toys.
The current mass surveillance of Americans is directly linked to the unconstitutional 16th amendment
“But it is just a tax” say our illustrious corrupt and illiterate justices
Pretty much. The IRS is the pen bypassing legislation and politically punishing people, the FBI is enforcer.
Completely unconstitutional
The tax code is a national disgrace.
There! Fixed it.
Consider that all the “federal” funding that Constitution-impaired state lawmakers regularly beg Congress for is arguably state revenues that corrupt Congress has stolen from the states by means of unconstitutional taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
But when are the states going to wise up and repeal 16th Amendment?
In fact, repeal 16th and 17th Amendments together to effectively "secede" all the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government.
See tagline.
Come on people. Cut the crap. The time has come to get rid of it completely. 2 big election cycles coming up. Plant the seed in ‘22. Educate the populace over the next 2-3 years. The people like the idea of getting 100% of their paycheck and perhaps paying a fair tax.

With your screen name, I figured you’d know this.
Most of my ‘business contacts’ work behind a counter doing McJobs. As a ‘compassionate conservative’ I’m smart enough to know we need their support and their votes. Too many of you freepers don’t. These folks are led to believe we’re responsible for the income inequality out there and we’re stupid enough to let it it stick. If they work 40 hours/wk what can we do for them? The Bernies of the world have the issue and we’re asleep at the switch-brain dead.
My idea-Find a way to record their 40 hours a week working. 2000 hours/year. It may have to go the way of paper(check stubs) like paper ballots. Those that qualify(2000 hrs.) get get a working bonus out of the budget surplus that comes with a big cut in government as well as the ‘proper’ fair tax. At the end of EVERY year congress debates how the surplus gets divided-for every hour worked amongst the 2000/hr. workers or EVERYONE. Let the debate liven up. Skin in the game for the 40 hour/wk workers. That way those that cut more government get more money. Should payback be in cash or an IRA? You decide.
If the payback is in cash they’ll prefer it. Just look at how many overlapping programs can be eliminated. Let states deal with the details.
There IS a FIX for this mess. Problem is not enough of the tax slaves don’t give enough of a shit to get involved.
They’ve grown comfortable in their bondage. The covid scam proved that.

“The power to tax is the power to destroy”—Chief Justice John Marshall
Well keep in mind, the Income Tax could never have been ratified without a “stick it to the Rich” attitude in the legislators. People weren’t smart enough to realize it would come back to bite them.
$20,000 was equal to about 1.8 million dollars at today’s bullion prices, in terms of the confetti-bucks.
I think that would be about right $500,000 a year sounds like a lot of money, but it really isn’t, especially in California, New York, etc. There is no reason to tax someone making $35,000, that’s just insane, because, with an imaginary currency there’s no reason to tax anyone, at least at the federal level. They have a printing press! The reason of course - is they get to pumish people, and make winners and losers.
