Do We Need An Income Tax? Plus, Some Questions Answered!

We have no need of an Income Tax! We believe the whole purpose of income tax was to finance collectivism and to destroy the middle class Americans, and to level you down to have no more and to be no better than the rest of the slaves of the world. You can rest assure that there will never be an end to it until your property and lives are totally confiscated and totally controlled by a bunch of bureaucrats whom we have never elected and whom our elected officials can’t even do anything about. They can’t even fire them!

It is abundantly clear that our government would be capable of providing all the necessary and lawful services mandated by the Constitution. Presently all of our road building is being financed by the Tax on gas. A loaf of bread has over 154 indirect taxes. Nearly 50% of the price of a new car is hidden taxes.

Only 43% of the government’s revenue come from the income tax. The balance comes from other sources. We need a reduction in government by at least that amount. We don’t need more taxes. We need less spending on illegal things that the Constitution does not provide for. We need to push the government back within the bounds and limitations set for it by the Constitution.

Governments throughout the history of the world have remained just and honorable only so long as the people have the spirit of resistance to the tyrannical and oppressive tendencies, which are inherent in all governments which have been established by mortal man. As President George Washington stated: "Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force, and like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master!"

There is absolutely no need for anyone to be afraid of their government or the IRS any longer. If you will but learn how to assert your Constitutional Rights you can lose your fear of the IRS, regain your privacy, preserve your rights, protect yourself from the tyranny of the tax collector, and help restore the Constitution.

The following questions and answers should convince you that the preceding is true:

Question: If you don’t pay Income Taxes, how will the government finance itself?

Answer: How did the government finance itself before income tax? We got along admirable well for the first 137 years of our history without an income tax, during which time we became the greatest, most prosperous and freest nation in the history of the world. Since the implementation of the income tax, we have begin to decline as a nation, as a matter of fact, we are in danger of becoming a second rate nation today because of income tax. Income tax was designed implemented to finance socialism and to destroy the middle class in America. It was designed to level you down to have no more and to be no more than the rest of the slaves of the world. If you find that hard to believe, consider the NAFTA and GATT Treaties which are exporting jobs and will ultimately level you down to the economic level of third world countries like Mexico with their immense poverty.

In order to understand what is happening, we must first examine what the government has done recently and is doing now. How it is financed, where the money goes. Then we can understand what changes are needed.

Congress managed to spend $406,400,000,000 in 1977 alone. MORE THAN ONE BILLION DOLLARS A DAY! That amount has nearly tripled today. This amount is almost beyond comprehension. With over 100,000 plus IRS employees, with all their benefits, offices, etc., costs the taxpayer over 80 BILLION DOLLARS to operate, and the IRS through its questionable enforced collection activities, collected only 72 BILLION DOLLARS in personal Income Taxes, a LOSS of EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS CAN THIS BE JUSTIFIED? Think what it would mean to your family if you had NO Income Tax. Then consider SAVING EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS besides. The EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS COULD BE spent on beneficial endeavors, and your family could certainly use the money THEY are throwing away.

Most people do not realize that only about 40% of the Federal Budget comes from personal and corporate income taxes. DEFICIT SPENDING is another source of the Federal budget. In 1977, Federal spending exceeded revenue by $48 Billion, which was borrowed from the International Bankers who control the Federal Reserve, which has a great impact on the market by leaving less money for private banks to loan for home mortgages, etc. This causes interest rates to go up, and credit is tight. The Federal Reserve orders, more INFLATIONARY Notes to be printed to "Monetized the Debt," thus compounding the problem. This will not change without a Constitutional Amendment. The DEFICIT for 1979 was $100 BILLION, including interest…$789,030,000,000 plus…Federal programs agreed to deliver in the future, agreed to insure claims and pay pensions, Social Security, and many other International commitments.

The bill to the taxpayer in 1979 looked something like this:

National Debt…………………………………………..$ 789,030,000,000

Undelivered Orders……………………………………. 332,109,000,000

Long-Term Contracts………………………………….. 15,126,000,000

Government Loan Guarantees………………………… 209,926,000,000

Insurance Commitments………………………………. 1,733,106,000,000

Pensions……………………………………………….. 5,400,621,000,000

Unadjudicated Claims………………………………… 11,531,000,000

International Commitments…………………………… 10,905,000,000

Miscellaneous…………………………………………. 20,788,000,000

TOTAL………………………$8,523,142,000,000

It has approximately tripled since 1979, so imagine what it is today!

These are official U.S. Government figures as of September 30,1977. This means about $113,639 for every household in America. Twenty three years later and with escalation as it is, how does this leave us for 2000?

Many actions of the government have not been voted on by anyone NOT EVEN CONGRESS. The only recourse is to CUT OFF THEIR MONEY! The people opposing taxes have discovered that the government today has grown so large and powerful, it does not require the consent of the people to rule on an issue as long as it can simply TAKE the fruits of their labor. So we must take the same action! Leeches must suck blood to survive, as Federal Agents must deprive honest men of their rightful fruits of their labor to exist.

QUESTION: How would the police, fire protection, etc. operate?

ANSWER: If the billions collected on gas, oil, and tires were just used to build roads, the purpose for which they were originally intended, our roads could be paved with GOLD Instead, this money has been used to build roads in Russia, Poland, and everywhere else – NOT FOR OUR ROADS. Since the government has control, you have nothing to say about the cost, quality, or even if they go to the lowest bidder. Again I quote Sam Gibbons when he complained about the government cutting road funds: "Florida paid into the government 3.3 billion dollars, and only got back 2.1 billion." WHAT IF WE HAD KEPT OUR MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE?

QUESTION: If we didn’t pay income taxes, wouldn’t that cause inflation?

ANSWER: Inflation is caused by printing money faster than commodities are produced. Suppose there were only 10 chairs, and $100 in money. That would make each chair worth $10, as money only represents how much REAL wealth exists. Now suppose they print up another $100 but don’t produce any more chairs. It would cause each chair to double in price, or be worth $20 each. Until growth increases, there can’t be any more money created without causing the price of commodities to rise in proportion. With the government or Federal Reserve, money machines running wide open, how can there be anything else but inflation? When we had SILVER and GOLD as backing for our money and each "Dollar Certificate" had to be backed by that amount of Gold or Silver. So you see that NOT paying taxes would actually REDUCE INFLATION!

QUESTION: If we didn’t pay income taxes, how would we support our armed forces?

ANSWER: This is one of the few functions, according to the Constitution, that the Federal government is supposed to do. As government moved out of competing with free enterprise – got out of house, electric, welfare, insurance, Medicare, and every facet of industry – (in every case, waste and corruption causes losses for which you pay). Excise, Import, Export taxes collected would overflow the treasury, Every business the government enters causes not only a loss in revenue, but more taxes to pay for the inefficient operation that ensues. The old cliché" that "Crime wouldn’t pay if government ran it," and "Bureaucracy is an invention where it takes ten people to do the job of one," is very true.

QUESTION: How would the different agencies operate?

ANSWER: 90% of the agencies we now have are needed like another hole in the head. OSHA, whose officials were NEVER ELECTED, and who make far above the average wage, make rules – enforced under the COLOR of law, - that costs the taxpayer BILLIONS of dollars, actually retard growth and cost jobs. The Tribune ran an article about firemen in California being reprimanded for rescuing a man out of a collapsed ditch. The charge was that they should have shored the banks with steel, and also that they were not qualified because they had not taken lessons on how to remove a man from a collapsed ditch.

CETA spends MILLIONS on absurd things like instructions to teachers on how to potty a child.

GAO admits that they lose SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS each year somewhere between the cracks – that nobody is held accountable for.

QUESTION: What would happen to all the people who work for the government? Wouldn’t unemployment skyrocket?

ANSWER: There would be a transition period that could get a little hectic for a short time, but what have we got now? If this transition were to take place over a period of 5 years, as sound money came into being and inflation decreased and taxes dropped, people could afford to buy more, which would increase the amount of products to be produced. This, in turn, would put more people to work, now putting them in a position to buy more. As the standard of living increased, more invention would come about, creating more prosperity and so on. Remember, when they print t money, the first recipients receive full benefits as prices have not yet raised, but by the time it trickles down to the last people who receive it, prices have already raised higher than the money they receive, so they are always behind. With prices stable, jobs are created, the standard of living is raised for everyone, and everybody gains. A spin-off great magnitude also evolves. You have a much greater freedom as was intended by the Constitution. Any time you receive a gift, or so-called gift from the government – YOUR money to start with – there are strings attached, putting you under their control.

QUESTION: How can they just print money?

ANSWER: We will go into this issue only briefly, and it would take many pages to thoroughly explain this complex issue.

We are on what is call "Monetized Debt." This debt, to make any sense at all, you have to understand that it is NEVER meant to be paid. They have reversed Liabilities and made them ASSETS. If you borrow $100, the banker enters the $100 in their ledger under ASSETS, then they proceed to print up $100 in Federal Reserve Notes against the debt. To add to that, since they only have to hold a certain amount of that as reserve – it ranges between 3% to 8% - they create a multiple of either 11.5 to 1 or 32.33 to 1, or they can create $1,150 or $3,233.33 for each $100 borrowed. This can only happen when the banker, by a figment of his imagination, creates money and everyone else goes along with it. As long as people THINK that the bank has this money, the can create money. Only when the people begin to think that they don’t, and a lot of people begin to take their money out of the bank at the same time, will the fallacy show – then the banks will collapse.

The only favorable thing that can be said about our extremely complex tax structure is that it has become so bad that it now bears the seeds of its own destruction. Like anything that was based upon a faulty premise to begin with, it only gets worse if it is permitted to continue. Our tax structure is based on a premise that is contrary to the basic political-economic theories upon which our business and government operate. The basic fault is that it attempts to use a tool which is intended to fairly and efficiently raise money for the operation of government as a political weapon to achieve social and economic aims – such as redistribution of the wealth.

Because of the basic trust of the tax laws in the economic sense, it has become necessary or expedient to create exemptions and exceptions and to devise loopholes. Unbelievably massive amounts of time, effort and money have been spent by the government sector in the last two or three decades to create the crazy-quilt known as the Internal Revenue Code.

"The best thing that could ever happen in this country, next to permanent peace and prosperity, would be the total abolition of ALL existing tax laws and their replacement with a completely new simplified system which could be easily understood and efficiently administered, and would fairly apportion the burden of the (lawful) costs of government." Emphasis ours.

Marvin Cooley said; "We don’t need more taxes, we need less spending on illegal (unlawful) things the Constitution doesn’t provide for (authorize). How profound!

Remember what Davy Crocket said years ago; "The power of collecting and disbursing money at the your pleasure is the most dangerous power that can be entrusted to ANY man, no matter how poor his is."

There is not a man who can even guess how much he pays the government, so while you are voting to help some, you are taking from others who are worse off. If the right to give ANYTHING is given, they could give MILLIONS. If you have the right to give to one, you have the right to give to all, which would open the door wide to FRAUD, FAVORITISM, and CORRUPTION, which is exactly what has happened!

Can you any longer doubt the truth of this philosophy?

Doesn’t this hold 100% true today?

If another person is entitled to the fruits of your labor, how much longer can this country stand?
