Tell IRS To “Drop Dead”
Watch as IRS
Commissioner Everson & Officials For many months, Americans caught up in resisting the IRS’s income tax fraud have contacted WTP for direct legal assistance and advice. As you know, WTP’s primary mission is education and facilitating citizen vigilance and activism. It does not include providing specific, individual assistance on tax or legal matters.
However, after last Tuesday’s
“Enforcement, rather than Answers” insulting retort from IRS’ Terry Lemons
to David Cay Johnston of the New York Times, WTP is now offering advice
worthy to be followed by all People contacted by the IRS or their state tax
collector, looking for money directly or indirectly related to Subtitle A or
C of the Internal Revenue Code.
We urge
everyone to carefully examine and appropriately use the
draft letter
and its three attachments: 1) a
Memorandum
of Law regarding the Right to Petition; 2) a re-structured,
comprehensive set of legal Please also take time to view the video of last week’s IRS press event announcing the collusion of the federal government with the states to more effectively “enforce” the law. Please note the opening remarks where IRS officials tout the importance of “educating” Americans about the tax laws so they pay what they properly owe and to maintain Americans’ “faith” in the tax system. Of particular interest is the New York Times’ unambiguous questioning of IRS Commissioner Mark Everson. (This question is asked at approximately 16 minutes into the broadcast)
David
Cay Johnston of the Times asked the first question at the event: "Mark,
there are a group of people standing outside [referring to WTP
demonstrators] who assert that they are no longer required to pay taxes and
that you will not answer their petition to the government as to whether
they’re required to pay taxes. Are they required to pay taxes and what do
you say to them?”
Everson,
(quote) "I’ve been paying my taxes ever since I had my first job. I think
it’s a fundamental construct of our nation that those of us who expect and
demand the services from our government that the government provides, be
they the protection of our country through the military or be they the
education of our children or be they the protection of our environment, that
we must pay for those services. So yes, I think there is a fundamental
obligation and that it’s an understood and well accepted one." (End quote) So once more -- before representatives of the dominant media and before a nationwide, taxpayer funded, Internet broadcast, the IRS failed to take a golden opportunity to simply, and authoritatively answer any of our questions, or state the legal citation imposing the income tax upon average Americans. Adding insult to injury, and making matters worse for the government, Johnston’s NYT article the next day quoted a response he received (off camera) from Terry Lemons, a senior IRS spokesman. Johnston asked Lemons why the IRS is not answering our questions. According to Johnston, Lemons said the government is answering our Petition through “enforcement actions.” To this we unequivocally state again, “No Answers, NO Taxes.” _________________________
MEMORANDUM
DATE: SEPTEMBER 25, 2003 This memo is being sent to any and all individuals who have approached us for advice because they have been contacted by the IRS or their state tax collector, looking for money directly or indirectly related to Subtitle A or C of the Internal Revenue Code. We are not in business to provide such advice but, as long as people are asking us for advice, I feel compelled to tell them what I would do if I were in their shoes, knowing what I now know. My advice to you is to carefully study the contents of our model “Drop Dead” letter and its attachments. We call it by that name because it reminds us of the infamous New York Daily News “DROP DEAD” headline, on October 30, 1975, quoting an answer by President Ford to a letter by Mayor Beame who was demanding more tax money. If you are convinced of the accuracy of the contents of the letter and the attachments and if you are willing to stand up to the government in defense of your Creator-endowed, individual, unalienable Rights, and if you are convinced of the accuracy of the contents, then edit the letter and the attachments to fit your circumstances and beliefs and send the letter with its attachments to any and all IRS and/or the state tax collectors that have contacted you. Then, send it again and again to whoever is badgering you, at any and every stage of the proceedings against you. Give a copy to the IRS or State Revenue Agent. Give a copy to the Grand Jury, if any. Give a copy to the DOJ or state prosecutor. Give a copy, if necessary, to the Judge and Jury. Stay on message. Keep repeating your message contained in your letter and its attachments, which simply put, is that you will be retaining your money until the government honestly answers the questions presented in the Petition for Redress and disproves the facts as you understand and have presented them; that is, unless the government proves otherwise, you believe the income tax is fraudulent in its origin and illegal in its operation and enforcement and you do not wish to volunteer to pay the tax. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had it with these bullies and their tyrannical behavior. Either they answer our Petitions or they don’t get another nickel. The government is saying, “ENFORCEMENT, NOT ANSWERS.” In defense of ordered Liberty our response must be,
“NO ANSWERS, NO TAXES.”
