1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,100
There is no law and to date nobody has been able to show that there is a law for the average

2
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:14,480
American citizen working day in and day out to pay an income tax. We the People Foundation for

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:20,740
Constitutional Education put a full-page ad in the USA Today on July 7, 2000 and within the body

4
00:00:20,740 --> 00:00:26,640
of that ad was a $50,000 challenge for anyone that could show the law and to me $50,000 is a

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,400
lot of money. So I went after that and did the research based on the fact that I thought

6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,520
let's put this baby to bed. I'm hearing all these rumors, you know, I'm going to kill two

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,080
birds with one stone. I'll answer these people's questions that are asking me and then I win

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,520
this $50,000. And, you know, based on the research that I did throughout the year 2000 and that

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,420
I'm still doing, I have not found that law. I've asked Congress, we've asked a lot of people

10
00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:52,960
in the IRS, IRS commissioners, helpers. They can't answer because if they answer, the American

11
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:59,920
people are going to know that this whole thing is a fraud. There is no law. There is no law that

12
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:09,520
requires the average American worker in the private sector to pay a direct unapportioned tax on their

13
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:16,240
labor and compensation for services. There is no law. I really expected that of course there's a law

14
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,040
that you can point to in the law book, the code that requires you to file a tax return. Of course

15
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,560
there is. I mean, I don't know what it is right then as we, as he was speaking to me, but sure.

16
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:32,620
So naively, I agreed to go off and research it and get back to him. Three and a half months later,

17
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,860
I was at that point where I couldn't find the statute that clearly made a person liable,

18
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:45,540
at least not me and most people I know. And I had no, no choice in my mind except to, to resign.

19
00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:51,340
I had to leave the IRS because I presented evidence that I had accumulated indicating that the agency

20
00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:59,420
was violating the law and violating people's rights. And I asked the agency for a response to

21
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:07,380
my sincere concerns. And the answer I got was that they would not respond to my concerns and that

22
00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:12,220
they wouldn't provide me with the paperwork necessary to tender my resignation. You can look

23
00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:17,060
through the statutes and look for the law that requires you to pay. And when you do that,

24
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:22,340
you can't identify a law that requires the average person in America who earns a wage and works

25
00:02:22,340 --> 00:02:27,700
in private business to pay an income tax. American citizens, along with the foundation,

26
00:02:27,820 --> 00:02:36,260
have been asking the IRS to specifically provide them with the underlying legal foundation upon which

27
00:02:36,260 --> 00:02:40,420
they administer and enforce the personal income tax laws in our country.

28
00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:44,760
At the national level, when people would attempt to contact somebody of a much higher authority,

29
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:51,020
say the commissioner, same kind of thing. They wouldn't get, they would get answers that were

30
00:02:51,020 --> 00:03:01,040
in effect non-answers. You have to understand that an agency which will unlawfully impose a tax that

31
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,800
doesn't exist. It's not going to care. If we, the people, don't know what our rights are,

32
00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:15,280
they're not going to tell us. If Americans just learned that the IRS was actually knowingly deceiving

33
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,580
them, that that enough, that would be enough for them to rise up and put a stop to it.

34
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:25,820
One hundred percent of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the federal debt.

35
00:03:26,180 --> 00:03:30,720
All individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the

36
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,920
services taxpayers expect from government. People have been told, you know, that you need

37
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:40,220
this income tax system to fund government, which is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, my question is,

38
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:46,100
well, if that's true, how did we fund government from 1776 to 1913? The main purpose of the income

39
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:53,820
tax is not to raise revenue, but to redistribute wealth and to control society. A lot of people might

40
00:03:53,820 --> 00:03:57,780
say, well, gee, if there wasn't an income tax, what would happen to education? They don't understand

41
00:03:57,780 --> 00:04:03,700
that education is paid for, for the most part, out of state and local taxes, your property tax. People

42
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:08,540
might say, well, how are we going to build and maintain our highways? If there's no money coming

43
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:12,920
in to the government, we need our highways. There is a tax on every gallon of gasoline that people buy.

44
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,260
Proceeds from the income tax do not pay for highway construction.

45
00:04:17,260 --> 00:04:25,040
I believe that in both spirit and substance, our tax system has come to be un-American. Death and taxes

46
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:31,880
may be inevitable, but unjust taxes are not. This small booklet includes the Constitution of the

47
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:38,180
United States, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence. This is documented every citizen

48
00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:48,120
should read. It's a document which freed an entire nation. This is the Internal Revenue Code, and this

49
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:57,000
document, and the unlawful application of this document by the Internal Revenue Service has enslaved

50
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,760
the nation that this document attempted to free.
