An Open Letter
To The President's Advisory Panel
On Federal Tax Reform:
Direct, Non-Apportioned Taxes On Labor
Are Strictly Prohibited
By The United States Constitution.
Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3:
“Representatives and Direct Taxes shall be apportioned
among the several States which
may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers….”
Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4:
“No Capitation, or other direct Tax
shall be laid, unless in
Proportion to the
Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken.”
Every Related Supreme
Court Decision
Confirms This Irrefutable Fact.

Co., 158 U.S. 601 (1895)
Brushaber v. Union Pacific R.R. Co., 240 U.S. 1 (1916)

THE ANTELOPE,
23 U.S. 66 (1825)
Butchers’ Union Co. v.
Crescent City Co., 111 U.S. 746
Despite A Substantial
Body Of
Legal Evidence Directly Challenging Its Authority,
The Internal Revenue Service,
(With the Direct Support Of The President,
U.S. Congress And Federal Courts,)
Continues To Enforce
This Unlawful and Immoral “Slave Tax”
On The Working People Of America.
It's
Time To Stop
All Direct Taxes On Labor
And End The Income Tax Fraud.
Either America Still Has
A Constitution
And Bill Of Rights,
Or We Don't.
There Can Be NO Meaningful Tax Reform Until The
Government Answers
Fundamental Questions
Regarding The Constitutional
Taxing Authority Of The IRS

2004 WTP letter to the President go to:

Here Are Some Of The Questions
Put Forth to the President
on May 10, 2004:
Admit or deny
that the current tax on the wages of ordinary Americans is an un-apportioned
direct tax.
Admit or deny that generically speaking, taxes on “income” have been
classified as excise taxes by the Supreme Court in Brushaber v
Union Pac. R.R. Co., 240 U.S. 1 (1916).
Admit or deny that the Supreme
Court, in Brushaber v Union Pac. R.R. Co., 240 U.S. 1 (1916),
rejected the idea that the 16th
Amendment granted to the government the power to impose an
un-apportioned direct tax, such as the current tax on wages.
Admit or deny that the Supreme Court, in Brushaber v Union Pac.
R.R. Co., 240 U.S. 1 (1916), ruled that any contention that the
16th Amendment treats a tax on income as a direct tax
is wholly without foundation.
Admit or deny that the Supreme Court, in
Stanton v. Baltic Mining Co., 240 U.S. 103 (1916), ruled that 16th
Amendment did not confer any new power of taxation, (as would be
a power to impose an un-apportioned direct tax on the wages of ordinary
Americans,) but merely prohibited the complete and plenary power to tax
income derived from labor or capital from being taken out of
the category of un-apportioned indirect taxation to which it
inherently belonged.
Admit or deny that one more than one half of the
federal Appeals courts have ruled that the current tax on wages of ordinary
Americans is an un-apportioned direct tax while the remaining Appeals
courts have ruled the same tax to be an un-apportioned indirect tax.
Admit or deny that the
United States Supreme Court defined "income" to mean the following:
“…Whatever
difficulty there may be about a precise scientific definition of
‘income,’ it imports, as used here, something entirely distinct from
principal or capital either as a subject of taxation or as a measure of the
tax; conveying rather the idea of gain or increase arising from
corporate activities.”
“This
court had decided in the Pollock Case that the income tax law of 1894
amounted in effect to a direct tax upon property, and was invalid because
not apportioned according to populations, as prescribed by the Constitution.
The act of 1909 avoided this difficulty by imposing not an income tax,
but an excise tax upon the conduct of business in a
corporate capacity, measuring, however, the amount of tax by
the income of the corporation…” Flint v. Stone Tracy Co., 220 U.S.
107, 55 L.Ed. 389, 31 Sup.Ct.Rep. 342, Ann. Cas.”
Here Are More Facts:

FACT:
The Constitution guarantees that no person can be
deprived of his or her property except by due process of law. However, the
Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Courts,
routinely and systemically conspire to enforce the income tax through
intimidation, coercion and outright fraud.
For a disturbing example of these prosecutorial practices, read the trial
transcript and criminal appeal of Texas businessman Dick Simkanin who was
finally convicted in 2004 of failure to withhold taxes from his workers
after three grand juries, two criminal trials, and a federal judge who
denied his attorneys the right to enter a single piece of paper in his
defense -- and who never required the DOJ to cite ANY law that imposed a
specific legal duty upon Simkanin to file or withhold.
Is this the
tax system
of a free nation?
FACT:
For the past five years, the President, United States Congress, Department
of Justice and Internal Revenue Service have steadfastly REFUSED to
answer specific legal questions directly challenging the lawful
authority of the U.S. Government to impose and enforce a direct,
non-apportioned tax on the wages and salaries of American workers.
FACT:
The We The People Foundation, along with several thousand ordinary
Americans, have been forced to bring a lawsuit against our own government
to finally expose the truth about America’s fraudulent income tax system.
USDC (DC) Case No. 04-CV-01211
FACT:
In recent court filings, the U.S. Government has taken the
position that it has “no legal obligation” to answer, respond or even
READ the Peoples First Amendment Petitions for Redress of Grievances, which
thoroughly document the federal income tax fraud.
Does This Sound Like A
“Servant” Government Created
Of, By and For The People?
