"The preservation of a free government requires, not
merely that the metes and bounds which separate
each department of power be invariably maintained, but
more especially that neither of them be suffered to
overleap the great barrier which defends the rights
of the people. The rulers who are guilty of such
encroachment exceed the commission from which they derive
their authority, and are TYRANTS. The people who
submit to it are governed by laws made neither by themselves
nor by an authority derived from them and are slaves….."

Dallas, Darling!! February 16!
Be there for the next CtC Seminar in the
Lone Star State!!
LAST WEEK I WAS SPEAKING WITH a warrior
who told of a frustrating failure in getting his
cousin, a real estate lawyer, to take in
CtC. The
fellow just skimmed the book for a while and then
announced his conclusion that I was just
"cherry-picking" support for my arguments.
"Cherry-picking" is the selection of
authorities that appear to furnish support but are
taken out of an unacknowledged context by which they
really have a different meaning, or ignoring and
leaving concealed authorities which contradict one's
arguments. It's a sleazy practice employed
deliberately by hucksters and sometimes
inadvertently by incompetent researchers.
IT WAS IRONIC THAT THE COUSIN should
use the expression "cherry-picking" in his dismissal
of
CtC. In so doing he reveals the scantiness of his
attention to the book.
In the very center of
CtC I recognize
the "cherry picking" suspicion and address the
charge, in this passage from the "Interlude":
Interlude
"There are two distinct
classes of men...those who pay taxes and those who
receive and live upon taxes."
-Thomas Paine
I am confident there are
those reading this book who still, even at this
point, harbor lingering doubts as to the truth of
the limited reach of the “income” tax revealed
here. This is understandable and readily forgiven,
as the habits of a lifetime are not quickly and
easily overcome-- especially habits of thought.
Habits of thought that are reinforced day-in and
day-out by dedicated beneficiaries of the status quo
are particularly persistent. Such doubts will
express themselves as one or another version of the,
“How can this be true when I hear so much to the
contrary, and the law appears to be enforced in
defiance of what you say?”
I must point out to such
doubters that they are obliged by self-honesty to
find themselves on the horns of a dilemma. In light
of the Supreme Court’s clear and repeated
expressions regarding the untaxable nature of
private activities, the virtually moot effect of the
16th Amendment, and the restricted meaning of the
term “income”-- along with the sufficiently clear
written letter of the law-- there are only a couple
of possible truths to compete with that presented
here.
One, of course, is that you
personally are simply incapable of understanding the
law-- either because it is possessed of a mystical
character incomprehensible to normal persons, or
because there is something wrong with you. As to the
latter, I will assure you that if you have made it
to this point in this book, you are perfectly OK, at
least insofar as your intellectual and academic
capacities are concerned.
As to the former, we have
already discussed the nature of proper law. If you
have disagreed with me on that subject, and are
content that the law should be a mysterious,
self-contradictory thing accessible only through the
scryings of a priestly class, go from us now, for no
words or evidence will sway you from surrender to
the blandishments and ambitions of the corrupt and
powerful. Their lust is your law and you will not
raise your bowed head.
Another possibility is that
I am just “cherry-picking”, culling out only such
rulings, statutes and other evidence from the whole
body available as support my contentions. Well, even
if this were true, the very existence of such
evidence to be “cherry-picked” would render any to
the contrary that might exist to be at least
ambiguous, if not outright overborne, and thus, in
either case, void. As the Supreme Court has
instructed us in Connally v. General Const. Co.,
269 U.S. 385 (1926):
"…a statute which either
forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so
vague that men of common intelligence must
necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to
its application violates the first essential of due
process of law.”
At bottom, that protest,
which presumes that there is somewhere a
contradictory body of evidence in support of the
current regime, is a hollow attempt to reverse the
burden of proof, compelling the questions of why is
MY body of evidence extant, and where is the other?
Ah, yes… it is in the hands of the priests, and not
to be looked upon by mere laymen! Really, lacking
such contradictory evidence in hand, and faced with
what is, this is merely a version of “mysterious
law”.
What is left is that what I
say about the law is true, and the apparent
contradiction with the ways things are is the
consequence of a conspiracy in defiance of that
truth. Such a conspiracy might be imagined as one in
which judges, prosecutors, bureaucrats, politicians
and professionals-- knowing the truth-- simply act
in blithe and blatant disregard of the law as
written and ruled upon. They want the money and
don’t give a damn what the law says, and somehow
nobody else knows or cares. This is the “Invasion of
the Body Snatchers” scenario. If it’s true, you
should be reading this in a bunker in the hills.
Of course, if such a
wide-spread, deeply rooted conscious conspiracy
existed there would be plenty of evidence to support
the conspirators-- they could make their own, after
all-- and I would have none. Then I would be back to
arguing against the propriety of the law, rather
than having little more to do than to point out what
it actually says. The fact is, the “Body Snatchers”
thing is an oversimplification of the much murkier
and, in its way, more sordid reality. (At least the
“Body Snatchers” thing would amount to a relatively
straightforward conquest of tax-payers by
tax-consumers, without necessarily generating a
corrupting influence extending much beyond the area
of taxes themselves. More about that later in ‘Why
It Matters’).
...
Plainly my friend's callow cousin never
even made it as far as the Interlude, or was not really reading at all... Had he
been paying enough attention to render a worthwhile
judgment on the book, he would have noted my
"cherry-picking" discussion and at least picked a
different expression with which to offer his brush-off.
The fellow's opinion of the book, then, is worth as
much as what he expended in its examination-- which
is to say, nothing.
BUT I MAKE MENTION of this tale of the
callow cousin because I was struck, when the story
was told to me, by how much the relevant landscape
has changed since I first wrote that portion of the
Interlude dealing with the "cherry-picking"
suspicion. I think those changes are worth a few
comments.
Though it seems strange to me now to
think about the fact, back when that excerpt from
the Interlude was written there hadn't been a single
CtC-educated victory. That is, at that time back in
2003 not one tax agency
acknowledgement of the correctness of my arguments,
or of my scrupulous diligence and honesty in my
presentation of supporting authorities, had taken
place.
The strength of my reasoning in the
excerpt notwithstanding, one might well have
reasonably suspected back then that there really
MIGHT BE countervailing authorities out there. One
might have imagined that there having been no
occasion thus far for doing so, these countervailing
authorities simply hadn't yet been marshaled to oppose me,
and thus were not in view.
Fair enough, as far as it goes (and
hence my other points also offered in the Interlude argument
above).
Now, though...
NOW, WE ARE MORE THAN 15 years later.
There HAVE been a few occasions for marshaling any
countervailing authorities.
Well over a quarter of a million of them, in
fact.
But no countervailing arguments have
been marshaled on any of these many occasions.
Instead we've simply seen more than a quarter of a
million steady acknowledgements of the correctness
of
CtC-- year after year, from dozens of different
tax agencies,
every single one after rigorous vetting, and all
issued even while the federal government, at least,
has relentlessly struggled the whole time to
discourage CtC-educated filings. It is
emphatically clear that no countervailing
authorities exist, and I have done no
"cherry-picking".
HERE'S ONE OTHER THING that has come
along in the years since I first argued against the
"cherry-picking" suspicion-- and the thing that
really puts "paid" to any and all doubts about the
accuracy of
CtC: The several documented occasions on which
the IRS and certain federal courts have actually
lied, full Monty, about the unanimous ruling of the
Brushaber court in 1916 concerning the nature
and history of the income tax and the limited
meaning and effect of the 16th Amendment.
I present and discuss these lies
here
(or as a video
here).
I hope everyone has paid very close
attention to this presentation, because as I said,
the making of these lies is a 100% disposition of
any question of the accuracy of
CtC concerning the nature of the income tax.
These lies are made in order to evade what the
Brushaber court ruled, which proves two things
beyond further challenge:
The Brushaber ruling IS (and
still is) the prevailing jurisprudence on the
income tax and the 16th Amendment (else the
lying jurists and agency would be citing to, or
lying about, some other ruling); and
The tax ACTUALLY is the OPPOSITE of
what these lying jurists and agencies are using
their lies to say that is is-- meaning it is
exactly what
CtC first revealed it to be in 2003.
There could be nothing more definitive
in proving these two key points than these
particular and transparent lies by corrupt purveyors
and beneficiaries of the "ignorance tax" scheme.
SO HERE'S THE ENTERTAINING IRONY with
which to wrap up this commentary prompted by the
Callow Cousin: Any "cherry-picking" that is done in
regard to the truth about the income tax is done by
the enemies of CtC in a desperate struggle to shore
up their fictions about the tax, and what's more,
they even have to fraudulently manufacture
the "cherries" to which they deceitfully resort!
One can't help but smile in amusement,
even while shaking the head and wagging a finger at
this shameful behavior.
I urge everyone to make vigorous use of
this "wake up" resource. In addition to starkly
limning the truth about the tax and the 100%
accuracy and completeness of
CtC, it has the collateral benefit of painting
the villains who oppose both as the criminals they
are, thus encouraging a sea-change in their corrupt
behavior.
A few comments on a few current topics
of interest, starting with Elizabeth Warren.
SO, ELIZABETH WARREN announced her
presidential candidacy this past weekend. This is
the woman who claimed in a number of different
places and ways to be Native American in genetic
heritage when this is simply not true.
For instance, on Warren's 1986 Texas
Bar registration card, she listed herself as
American Indian and ended up with several different
professorships and research positions in Texas law
schools. From 1986 to 1995 Warren was listed in the
Association of American Law Schools records as a
minority, which would enhance her prospects of being
recruited or selected for a faculty position. This
apparently worked at the University of Pennsylvania
where she was hired in 1987 as a full professor
right out of the gate, and again at Harvard in 1995.
Later, Warren traded on the fictional
Native American ancestry falsehood for political
benefit, until skeptics began to challenge her.
Warren claimed to have learned of her
alleged Cherokee heritage as a matter of family
lore. But last year she was pressured into
submitting to a DNA test which concluded that at
best a touch of Native American blood might have
entered the family line in a drive-by 6-10
generations ago, making her possible Cherokee
ancestry around .00001% (rounding up...), if
anything at all.
It is extremely unlikely that anything
as sketchy as a possible .00001% interface could
have credibly become "family lore". It is impossible
that, even if true, this possible event and its
steady diminishment in significance over hundreds of
years could have furnished Warren with an honest
basis for calling herself Native American.
Remember, Warren didn't say, "I have a
touch of Native American blood in my distant
ancestry..." Instead, she said, "I'm a Cherokee.".
SO HERE'S MY QUESTION: Why isn't Warren
being run out on a rail from at least Democratic
politics?
Not for lying about her ancestry per se
(for which she certainly has taken some flak). But
for lying in order to exploit Identity Politics for
her own personal gain?
I don't mean to be flippant, but this
is the crassest kind of "cultural appropriation".
Further, it highlights, to the detriment of all
other beneficiaries, the fundamental illegitimacy of
affirmative action, virtue signaling, and the
foolish notion (reflected in
nonsense like "Women's Studies", "Queer Studies",
etc.) of discrete realities for
superficially different groups despite all of us
having exactly the same rights and cognizable
fundamental interests.
I guess that last part is a good thing,
but still, Warren has given good cause for exile
from the serious American political scene.
...and what it tells us about the
collapse of the American education system.
I KNOW MANY OF YOU, LIKE ME, remember
when even a government welfare (aka, "public")
school education included some serious reading. In
my time, among the works every high school student
was obliged to read was George Orwell's penetrating
little satire and exposé of socialism titled,
'Animal
Farm'.
I was recently prompted to think of
'Animal Farm' and the much-mourned passing of any
effort at a real liberal education in public schools
while becoming aware of the ignorance-channeling
lunacy called the "Green New Deal" flogged into
revived interest by the newly-elected and
massively-uneducated Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to
much fanfare among Democrats and other
progressivists. (The "Green New Deal" is not a new
notion or title. Both go back at least to 2007.)
LIKE ALL SOCIALIST UTOPIAN NONSENSE,
the "Green New Deal" pitches pie-in-the-sky in
exchange for ceding massive power over individual
choices and behaviors to the state (which those
pitching the "pie" expect to be running at the
time). Like all socialist utopian nonsense, Orwell's
sharply-honed pen is the unforgettable bubble-burster--
but, of course, only for those who are gotten to
read 'Animal Farm'.
Think this is why the classic
literature of liberty (and the classic debunks of
statism, socialism, fascism etc.) has been pulled
from the curricula of American schools? You bet.
It's also why American high-schoolers
are no longer taught logic, economics, political
science or history as they once were, either. What
goes on in the schools matters. It matters a lot.
DON DON LA VIGNE, a long-time warrior
and real American grown-up, shares a nice and inspiring
testimonial on what
CtC has done for him for over nine years now:
*****
"Like a muddied stream or a polluted fountain
is the righteous man who gives way before the wicked."
-Proverbs 25:26
"A nation of sheep begets a government
of wolves."
CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE how abysmally
stupid someone would have to be to continue to doubt
or deny that
CtC has revealed the actual, complete and insurmountable
truth about the income tax in light of the overwhelming
mountain of
historical,
legal,
practical and
logical evidence to the contrary? (Not to mention
the
outright lies and even
ludicrous hoaxes the executive and some corrupt
members of the judiciary have been caught at in desperate
efforts to conceal the truth...)
Plainly any such denier must either be
abysmally stupid or be an abysmally corrupt government
official or other person who sees him or herself as
benefitting from the lies about the tax by which America
has suffered for 75 years now.
Isn't this true?
An old joke, but in regard to this deceiver,
not a laughing matter at all.
““When principles that run against your
deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle
is your calling, and peace has become sin; you must,

Trolls Against The Truth: A
Dis-Information Campaign
UNLESS YOU'VE LOOKED, you can have no idea
of the volume, intensity and mendacity deployed in the
government's efforts to discourage Americans from learning
what is revealed in
CtC. It's truly astonishing.
A lot of folks are aware of the show-trial
events in which my wife and I have received state-engineered
public beatings meant to scare people away from the
truth about the "ignorance tax" scam. But many are unaware
of the overall campaign. This is a shame, really, because
a focused propaganda effort like this one is a very
powerful acknowledgement of the significance of
CtC's revelations.
While the majority of Americans do not
yet know how
CtC protects them from the vampire state, the vampire
itself certainly does. Dis-information campaigns like
this one make that very clear.
FORMER CBS REPORTER SHERYL ATKISSON describes
some aspects of this sort of dis-information campaign
in the following video. Despite the annoying preliminary
15 seconds or so of advertising, her presentation is
very much worth watching:
(H/T to Greg Belcher for finding

I HAVE DONE MY BEST to lead this country
to liberty from the mis-applied income tax. I have labored
hard. I've shed a lot of sweat, a fair bit of blood
and more than a few tears. But I seem to be pretty poor
at that kind of work.
When I have asked all of you for what I
firmly believe is a necessary resource to move the ball
downfield and give all of us the best chance at justice
and an end to the assault on the rule of law-- simple
testimonial videos requiring nothing from any of you
but the phone in your pocket and three minutes of speaking
from the heart-- I have had only a handful of people
answer my call.
I CAN'T KEEP GOING THIS WAY. I have to
be able to turn my attention away from writing new persuasive
or skepticism-addressing articles week after week, and
toward research, analysis and educational presentations
that will benefit everyone already in this community.
I need time to do some suing, and to bring together
the resources and talent toward that end.
As said, it is my firm belief that your
testimonial videos are the resource that I need to make
big things happen, and they are unquestionably the thing
I need to allow me to turn my attention away from trying
to get horses to drink at the waterhole to which I have
led them. Your words, in your great numbers and all
in your own different ways, will do that better than
anything I write possibly could.
And yet, you are not providing them. This,
despite my having been asking you for them for many
years now.
Therefore, with enormous reluctance, I
am making portions of this website restricted access
only. People have been urging me to do this for years
now, telling me I should impose a charge to access my
work-product, so as to enable me to keep producing.
I have never been inclined to charge fees
for access. I ask for donations, and will continue to
do that, and if they do not come, then I will conclude
that my work is of no value to anyone, and I will close
shop.
But I now WILL charge a special something
for access to some key portions of that work-- testimonial
videos, as discussed, described and demonstrated
here.
SELECTED PAGES CONSTITUTING primarily "legal
resources" pages now require passwords for access, and
to get a password, I need your video. Similarly, if
an email comes my way asking for guidance or assistance,
it had best have a video attached, if I don't already
have yours posted.
I hate to play it this way, but I want
to win.
I'll tell you a story from when I was coaching
my kids in soccer. Both of my kids at a certain age
in their careers had run into a wall common to all but
the very exceptional. They had gotten to be pretty good,
and they wanted to enjoy the benefits of their hard
work. But the arrival of this interest coincided with
a new self-consciousness which made them reluctant to
risk failing and looking foolish. So, they were hanging
back from seizing the main chance when it appeared,
and driving for the goal.
My solution was to post on the wall of
our dining room a couple of simple points about self-discipline,
the chief of which is this: You can't score a goal if
you don't take a shot.
That's how it is here, too. If you don't
stand up, you are laying down, and you'll never score
that goal.
Here is what my kids live by now, in their
own version of that lesson. I hear it from them all
the time as they excel (accompanied by the sound of
a father's breast swelling with pride): Go hard,
or go home.
You, too. Go hard, or go home.
Send those videos.
Do I ask for a lot? I want your victories
to post, your financial support, your efforts at spreading
the word, and your beautiful faces and inspiring words,
too. It IS a lot.
But I'll let Thomas Paine explain:
"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered;
yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder
the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we
obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly. Heaven knows
how to put a proper price on its goods; and it would
be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as freedom
should not be highly rated.”
We each have our reasons, and our story.
It's time, and it's needed, for you to share yours with
the world.
"The day we see truth and do not speak
is the day we begin to die."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
What does it for you?
Is it simply because no moral and upstanding
person has any choice when it comes to telling the truth
over his or her signature, whether on tax forms or anywhere
else?
Is it recognition of the critical importance
of the rule of law, and the knowledge that if everybody
leaves its caretaking to someone else, it will soon
be lost to us completely?
Is it the money?
Maybe it's just simple respect for your
own rights as a human being, who is not and cannot be
not involuntarily subordinated to others?
Maybe it's just simple respect for your
general civic responsibility to be the grown-up and
enforce frugality and restraint on a big, powerful creature
of our own devising which otherwise is like a badly-raised
teenage boy given whiskey and car keys and let loose
on the road to wreak havoc?
Or is it, perhaps, a more acute anxiety
that if our bonfire of a state isn't damped, and quickly,
it'll soon burn down the house around us all?
What IS it that firms up your jaw and stiffens
your resolve?
It's time to take off the bushel and
share your light!
I would like you to think about what it
is that motivates you for a few moments (or all day,
if you like), and then send me your thoughts. I want
to put YOUR reasons to work inspiring folks who don't
yet understand what this is all about.
In this day and age, the most effective
way for you to share your thinking for the benefit of
others is to video-record yourself talking about how
you feel, and explaining what inspires and motivates
YOU.
All you need is a webcam or cell-phone
equipped with a camera. If you don't have, or know how
to use, one of these, have a friend help. (And if
you use a cell-phone, please have the orientation
horizontal, not vertical-- that is, so that the
screen of the phone on which you are watching
yourself while taping looks like a TV or movie
screen.)
If needed, write a little script for yourself.
Better, though, to just speak extemporaneously, after
spending a little time sorting out your thoughts and
getting down into your heart. Perhaps make it a video
of someone in your family, or a close friend, interviewing
you.
Dress "business casual". Be well-groomed.
Keep yourself to no more than 2 or 3 minutes,
and keep in mind that the purpose is not to educate,
but to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE and ENERGIZE. Your video will
be one of many to be shared.
You needn't feel any obligation to be profound,
and you shouldn't try to explain anything about the
law, other than to say that you have read it and you
know it's on your side. You just need to be sincere,
and uplifting. Your object is to make your audience
want to have what you have, and to be where you are
in your heart.
Don't talk to ME, or to others in the
CtC-educated community. Make remarks that are suited
to the NON-CtC-educated community, and at the same
time, be mindful that you're speaking to an
audience that doesn't yet know ANYTHING about the subject,
and whose first reaction is, "This must be illegal;
this must be dangerous; this is too good to be true."
You want to pull that audience right past such things,
and straight to a focus on truth, morality, and our
American heritage of liberty and the rule of law.
Remember: INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE, ENERGIZE.
Speak about rights. Speak about morality,
and the obligation of a grown-up and responsible person
to speak the truth and to enforce the Constitution.
Speak about everyone's duty
to give to God what is God's, always, and to Caesar
only what is really Caesar's. Speak of your obligation
to respect yourself, and to look out for the current
and future well-being of your children and your fellow
citizens. Speak of
CtC, and what its information has done for your
understanding and resolve. Show the book.
If you have had victories, describe them.
Better still, show them, if possible.
Be clear about just what you accomplished:
EVERYTHING back-- Social Security, Medicare and all;
a "notice of deficiency" closing notice; an on-paper
agreement or acknowledgment that your earnings weren't
subject to the tax and everything withheld or paid-in
was an "overpayment"; a transcript showing all $0s;
or whatever happened.
When you speak of state victories, name
the state. If you had to overcome balkiness from a tax
agency before winning any victory, describe that, too!
If you're in a battle now, speak of your
resolve to uphold the law, come what may. If you haven't
yet begun to act, speak of your decision to do so, and
your plans.
Remember, your purpose is to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE
and ENERGIZE.
If you're dealing with ongoing balkiness,
describe that, too, if you wish-- but be sure to explain
why you're not discouraged, and why you are not standing
down, not slinking back into the barn, and not choosing
to endorse the lies.
Mention what you do for a living, whether
you're a doctor, homemaker, lawyer, trucker, IT guy
or gal, or a retiree or student. Help people understand
that the company of grown-up activist Americans they
are being invited to join cuts across all demographics
and all interests-- with the common denominator being
respect for the law and love of the principles on which
this great country was founded.
This is your chance to get a LOT accomplished.
We've all had frustrating occasions of
trying to explain all this to a friend, neighbor, family
member or co-worker, only to pile up against the wall
of a mind not yet ready to listen and learn. Here is
your chance to address a self-selected audience of folks
who have themselves decided that it's time for them
to begin paying attention, and have clicked on your
testimonial for exactly that reason.
Further, think about this: You want judges,
bureaucrats, CPAs, lawyers, the HR people where you
work, your pastors, your neighbors and everyone else
to acknowledge the truth about the tax openly and straightforwardly.
How and why would these folks do this if YOU won't?
You want these folks to learn the truth.
Why would they even recognize that there is a truth
to be learned if you won't attest to having learned
it yourself? You've got to stand up, face forward and
chin up and tell these folks that you have studied and
checked and verified and seen the evidence and seen
the government evasions and you know that the tax is
not the capitation that the beneficiary government wants
everyone to think it is but a benign, but strictly limited
thing, and that they need to study and learn that, too.
Again, if you have victories to show, that's
nice, and powerful, too. But you don't have to have
victories to display in order to declare your knowledge
of what the law says. I've never flown around the world,
but I've seen the evidence and considered the arguments,
and I'm not hesitant to declare it a sphere...
Even those of you who haven't yet studied
CtC have surely read
this short document, and have verified everything
in it for yourself. You should therefore be declaring
its veracity and its message, loud and proud. Again,
if you won't say it, how can you hope that others will
ever even bother to look at the facts?
Be the change you want to see in the world,
or there won't be any change.

can reassemble them). Render as .mpg or mp4, if possible;
if not, send them how you have them and I'll make them

Remember, the restoration of institutional
respect for individual rights and the rule of law depends
on enough individuals insisting upon it. Do your part
to let those starting to rub the sleep from their eyes
know that there is a community already waiting for their
fellowship with open arms and open hearts and shining
spirits.
See how some of your fellow warriors for
the truth have done their parts in videos sent over

Getting Free Of The "Income" Tax Scheme Is As Easy As
Falling Off A Bike
To get an idea of how today's "income" tax scheme works,
try this little exercise:
Think of the federal government as a guy named Bob,
who lives down the street from you in a town that is
really big on bicycles. Bikes get used for commuting,
deliveries, shopping, etc.. In fact, other than walking,
bicycles are the exclusive form of transportation in
your town.
Your neighbor Bob has a by-the-mile bicycle-renting
business-- "Bob's Bicycles". Bob's Bicycles is far and
away the biggest business in town.
Part of Bob’s success is because he does a lot of contract
business. However, Bob doesn't just get paid by riders
who have signed an agreement with him, or even just
those using Bob's bikes. Bob gets something every time
anybody in town does any riding at all, through an odd
combination of circumstances that took many years to
come together.
Here's how it happened...
Bob's Bicycles was launched long ago by the great grandfather
of the present Bob (Bob IV). Great Grandpa Bob started
out not only with a main location for his contract business--
he also had the bright idea of setting up spots around
town where he parked some of his bikes for use by the
more occasional rider, on an "honor system". Anyone
could take and use one of these bikes, but they were
expected to keep track of their mileage, and send Bob
a "1040 Mileage Ridden/Rent Due Form" (and the appropriate
rent), periodically. The initial design of the form
was like this:
I, ______________,
rode a Bob's Bicycle a total of _____ miles
this year.
At Bob's rental
rate of $.15 per mile, I owe Bob $______
I said that Great Grandpa Bob planned to deal with these
occasional riders on the "honor system", and that's
true. But he liked his money, too, and didn't want to
miss anything that was due him. So, after setting up
the "self-serve" locations, Great Grandpa Bob went around
handing out "W-2, 1099 or K-1 Rider Reporting Forms"
to every other business in town. The forms-- accompanied
by notices that if Bob didn't get his rent from someone
riding a bicycle in connection with any business, he
would sue the company involved-- said:
You Can’t Fight Well When You Don’t Know
What You’re Fighting About
If you are having an argument
with the IRS or any other tax agency,
You are NOT being presumed to have made “corporate
profit”.
You are NOT being alleged to have received “foreign
income”.
You are NOT entangled in an invisible “adhesion
contract”.
You are NOT being obligated by a law whose subject
is never identified.
You are being targeted because REAL EVIDENCE exists
that YOU PERSONALLY HAD “INCOME” to which the revenue laws apply--
even though that evidence is almost certainly incorrect,
and CAN be corrected.
CtC WARRIOR SanDiegoScott has put together
a great little 20-question quiz to test your knowledge of the law
regarding the United States "income" tax. Test yourself, test your
friends and family! Test your accountant and tax attorney, and help
them learn the liberating truth!!
"Never must thou take up a false cry, or join hands
with the guilty by giving false witness in their favor. Never must
thou follow with the crowd in doing wrong, or be swayed by many
voices so as to give false judgment; even pity for the poor must
not sway thee when judgment is to be given."
-Exodus 23:1-3
Doing A Little High-Payoff Math
IF EACH PERSON receiving this newsletter each week distributed as
few as 100 of any of
the great outreach tools featured here to co-workers, friends,
neighbors and family members (or just strangers on the street, in
the mall, etc...), we could have SEVERAL MILLION new Americans
suddenly introduced to the liberating truth about the tax!
Just like that! In one week!
C'mon, people, let's roll on this!
“Most of the important things in the
world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when
there seemed to be no hope at all.”
When directed to a page by topic or link, read everything.
I know that this can mean the investment of a lot of time, attention
and effort, but although some may imagine otherwise, I don't write
as much as I do because I can't think of any other way to spend
my time...
Furthermore, when you encounter a hyperlink within, or associated
with, the text you are reading, follow it!
It is pretty common these days for web-based material to be littered
with hyperlinks. Sometimes the purpose is to provide definitions
or examples, in order to ensure that folks reading the original
material aren't presented with a word or reference which they don't
understand. Sometimes the links lead to illustrations pertinent
to the original text.
It is common-- and perfectly understandable-- for folks who are
confident that they are familiar with language or references within
the main text they are reading to get in the habit of skipping over
included links. I do it all the time, myself!
However, I very rarely include links for definitional or explanatory
purposes; and when I DO make a link out of text in one page it is
generally to another self-contained page, rather than merely illustrative
material. These other pages contain material the clear understanding
of which I deem highly important for the proper and complete understanding
of the original page. (Links to
CtC, the
Victories pages,
CtC Warriors and so on are obvious exceptions to this general
rule. On the other hand, a link to the victory
Highlights or 'Every
Which Way But Loose' pages, which might seem like such exceptions,
are not. The special selection of victories on those pages, and
the filed docs and tax-agency correspondences included therewith,
themselves constitute highly instructive material which merits careful
attention. Thus care needs to be taken in all cases.)
Please make a habit of clicking on all provided links and at least
looking briefly to ensure that the linked page is one with which
you are completely familiar from another study session.
Finally, please keep in mind that, annoying though it may seem at
first blush (but not, I trust, upon reflection), I constantly tweak
material already posted. Obviously this doesn't mean that every
page is in flux at all times, but it does mean that if you are directed
to a page that IS familiar, it's worthwhile to read it through again
if it's been a while since your last having done so.
