A CRIME COMMITTED: THE SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT

 

 

Here is one of the many websites devoted to convincing the American Citizens that the Federal Government is a criminal organization and needs to be stopped.

 

HERE IS YOUR PROOF OF THE CRIMINAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THEIR SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT

 

Here is the website devoted to the late great Aaron Russo and a link to his movie, America: Freedom to Fascism.

Now look at the actual history of the “alleged” right the Federal Government has to steal the fruits of your labors. These are shown in chronological order. You decide the legality of it.

I must mention here how frustrated I am when I hear “What is wrong with the tax structure the way it is?”.

Since I am one of those, that by the illegal tax code, must pay taxes, I point my finger at those that receive back in a refund more than they paid in and call them a thief. If you are one of those that benefit from the tax code, let me tell you. Just because the Federal Government has bought your approval with a generous refund each year and labels it legal, does not erase the fact that they have stolen from me to give to you. 

Article I: 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 Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

The Congress shall have the power to:

          Lay and collect taxes -

Article I, Section 2 states:

Representatives and “direct taxes” shall be “apportioned” among the several states..

  • ·In the United States, the term “direct tax” for the purposes of constitutional law means a tax on property “by reason of its ownership” (such as an ordinary real estate property tax imposed on the person owning the property as of January 1st of each year) as well as a capitation (a “head tax”). In U.S. constitutional law, an “indirect tax” or “excise” is an “event” tax. In this sense, a transfer tax (such as gift tax and estate tax) is an indirect tax. Income taxes on income from personal services such as wages are also indirect taxes.

  • Apportioned in the Constitution means to divide among the states based on the relative population of each state to the total population of the union.

The Federal Income tax is Unconstitutional in its present form, end of story.

The Congress shall have the power to:

          Lay and collect duties -

                   Dictionary.reference.com defines duties as:

Commerce. a specific or ad valor-em tax imposed by law on the import or export of goods.

This also describes the many duties of the citizens. So in the Constitution, collecting duties can be interpreted as the Federal Government having the power to command people into military duty or into civil service providing the service commanded are within the confines of the Constitution.

The Congress shall have the power to:

Lay and collect imposts -

                   Dictionary.reference.com defines duties as:

- noun

1. a tax; tribute; duty

        Tax here still must conform to Art. I sect. 2

2. a customs duty

- verb (used with object)

to determine customs duties on, according to the kind of import

The Congress shall have the power to:

          Lay and collect excises -

                   Dictionary.reference.com defines excises as:

1. an internal tax or duty on certain commodities, as liquor or tobacco, levied on their manufacture, sale, or consumption within the country.

2. a tax levied for a license to carry on certain employments, pursue certain sports, etc.

The Congress shall have the power to collect all of these revenues for the purpose only of:

To provide for paying the Federal Government’s payroll, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States.

Common Defense of the United States does not mean sticking our nose into every other countries business or fight wars to insure our interests in another country. It strictly gives the Federal Government the power to enslave our children into Military Service only for the purpose of protecting our country from invasion.

General Welfare has absolutely nothing to do with providing the poor with food or a home and definitely doesn’t have anything to do with giving them a car or toys to entertain themselves at the taxpayers’ expense.

The Constitutional Dictionary defines welfare as:

welfare n. 1. health, happiness, or prosperity; well-being. [<ME wel faren, to fare well] Source: AHD

to get along

The Federal Government has the Constitutional Authority to collect revenues to provide for the “general Welfare of the United States”.

The Federal government has the Constitutional Authority and the Duty to provide the necessary means to provide that the United States, the States of the United States, to have a healthy relationship amongst each other, to keep happiness of each state with each other state and to promote prosperity and well-being between the states. In other words the Federal Government is there to help keep the states together and coexisting with each other and assuring that they get along with each other.

Article IV, Section 4 dictates the duties of the Federal Government to do so.

Article III. Of the Articles of Confederation, which preceded the United States Constitution, read: “The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other, against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever”.

Welfare in today’s context also means organized efforts on the part of public or private organizations to benefit the poor, or simply public assistance. This is not the meaning of the word as used in the Constitution.

This plainly means that the Federal Government stealing our money to give to someone else is Unconstitutional, Illegal and Treasonous.

Welfare programs are up to each state to decide. If the people of a state feel that they should pay a tax for the purpose of supporting others that are less fortunate, than the state can collect these taxes for the sole purpose of helping the needy in their own state. All laws regulating those funds would be up to that state to decide. Those monies would not be available in a general fund.

 

Then came the Tenth Amendment.

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

 

Finally came the crime of the millennium, the fraudulent  Sixteenth Amendment.

 

AMENDMENT XVI

Passed by Congress July 2, 1909.  NOT LEGALLY Ratified February 3, 1913.

Note: Article I, section 9, of the Constitution was modified by amendment 16.

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.

 

So what is your opinion of the legality of the tax code that is presently in place?

Before answering, remember that this was the first time an Amendment was used to remove a restriction upon the Federal Government which was placed there by the Constitution.

The Fair Tax has been proposed now for more than ten years. The number one reason it keeps being stopped from becoming the new law and shutting down the IRS is the loss of power that the Federal Government and the Federal Reserve would loose over our lives. It would also stop the Tax Incentives that the government uses in controlling business and using the same to get reelected.

And most important, it would be Constitutional!
