I am not a tax protestor.
‘Tax protestor’ is a slander of me for the purpose of manipulating you into ignoring the truth I am telling you.
I am NOT protesting the legal and legitimate income tax.
What I am protesting is the fraud and racketeering being committed by certain individuals who are imbedded at the Departments of Treasury and Justice, as well as the Judiciary.
I have their signed confessions.
These individuals are committing treason against the Constitution and the American people.
I discovered through reading the Constitution, Supreme Court cases, and other sources that the income tax does not apply to most Americans. I am not unique in coming to this understanding.
I will show you, quickly and easily, how to confirm this for yourself:
- The Constitution is the document that legitimizes our government. It authorizes exactly two categories of taxes — direct and not direct.
- The Constitution requires that ‘capitations and other direct taxes’ be apportioned — meaning they be proportional to the population of your state and therefore the amount of the tax is different depending on which state you live in.
- The Constitution requires that ‘duties, excises and imposts’ — the taxes specifically named in the document that are not direct taxes — be uniform. These taxes are the same amount regardless of which state you live in.
- The Supreme Court has confirmed that what the framers meant by ‘capitations and other direct taxes’ includes a tax on all gainful activity, on every different species of revenue, on everything that comes in, on all gains from capital and labor, without regard to the specific activities or any other circumstance. These taxes are unavoidable unless you are completely destitute with no assets and no gains to tax.
- The Supreme Court has also confirmed that income taxes are NOT DIRECT. These are taxes you can avoid by changing your behavior. Income taxes are in fact a type of excise tax, which is a tax on privilege. And it is voluntary whether you participate in and benefit from federal privilege.
- Therefore, income taxes CANNOT BE taxes on all gainful activity, on every different species of revenue, on everything that comes in, on all gains from capital and labor, without regard to the specific activity or any other circumstance. Because of the definition of the word ‘not‘, as in ‘not direct’.
So if you are one of the many who have been misled and therefore believe that income is everything that comes in, the Supreme Court wholly disagrees with you. This is just one of the many lies these individuals are telling in order to perpetrate this fraud.
- The Supreme Court has confirmed repeatedly, even as recently as 2024, that all of the above is STILL TRUE after the passage of the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913.
So if you are one of the many who have been misled and therefore believe that the Sixteenth Amendment authorized a new type of direct tax that did not need to be proportionate to the population of your state (apportioned), the Supreme Court again wholly disagrees with you. This is another of the many lies these individuals are telling.
- Income taxes MUST THEREFORE BE taxes only on certain gainful activity, on certain species of revenue, on certain gains from capital and labor, where the specific activities and circumstances matter. BY DEFINITION.
This is simple logic and undeniable – unless you are complicit in the fraud, a pathological liar, or an apologist for both.
It is clear from the above that simply exchanging your labor for pay, or exchanging your products and/or services for money, DOES NOT automatically produce income. Because again, income taxes are NOT DIRECT. Only in the case of a DIRECT tax would merely exchanging labor, products or services for money result in a tax liability.
So which certain or specific gainful activities or privileges actually do produce income?
Because the Supreme Court confirms (consistently, repeatedly) that income taxes are NOT DIRECT and are a type of excise, it is logical that if the gain would not exist but for the federal government — if the federal government provided the gain directly or facilitated the gain in some way — then that gain is income.
So ask yourself: “if the federal government blinked out of existence tomorrow, would my specific gain still exist?”
In most cases, the answer is ‘yes’. Because in most cases, you would still be needed to work at your job and be paid, or still sell your products and services to other individuals who would still gladly pay you to do so, even if the federal government did not exist.
You have an inalienable right to earn a living. You do not need permission and it is not ‘privileged’ in any way.
However, if you work directly for the federal government, or if your job is entirely dependent on federal government contracts, or if you are invested in federal government securities, then no, those gains would not exist if the feds disappeared tomorrow, and therefore those gains are income.
It is voluntary whether you decide to benefit from the ‘privilege’ of participating, but you do not have to and you are not forced to do so.
You owe and should pay the taxes on your income because you benefitted from the federal privilege that resulted in those gains when you did not have to.
If you are still not sure whether your specific gains are income, the Supreme Court states it is a “well-settled rule” that you are exempt from taxation unless it is imposed in clear and unequivocal language.
Absolutely nowhere are you given the specific, objective criteria to determine if your gainful activity is income-producing. In the case of doubt you could argue you are exempt from the income tax because of the lack of clear and unequivocal language.
How the Fraud Works
The government may only legally collect a tax on income.
There are no direct taxes currently in effect.
The difference between the money you send them because you wrongly believe you owe a direct tax (because they lied) and the tax you actually owe on your income (where you benefitted from federal privilege in some way) is going directly into the pockets of these criminals.
And it’s billions, if not trillions, of dollars. That is the black budget funding all the terrible things we do not want our government doing, and making the very rich even richer (and nastier).
Individuals imbedded at the Departments of Treasury and Justice, as well as the Judiciary (not to mention individuals in academia and the media), are the minions who are complicit in and directly facilitating this fraud. They repeat the spurious and provably false claims that income is everything that comes in and therefore income taxes are direct taxes that don’t need to be apportioned.
They are blatantly contradicting what the Supreme Court says (repeatedly, consistently) because it is extremely profitable for them to do so, and no one is holding them accountable for their crimes.
They are lying in order to steal from you. And there are a lot of liars all telling (roughly) the same lies for the same ends. That much money attracts plenty of the worst people who have no qualms about lying to you and stealing from you.
This is intentional deception by these specific individuals imbedded at the Departments of Treasury and Justice, as well as the Judiciary, to deprive you of your rightful property, unlawfully. In a word:
FRAUD
UNDER COLOR OF LAW
This is also a type of organized crime in which these individuals have set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionary, illegal, coordinated scheme or operation (a “racket”) to repeatedly and consistently collect a profit. In a word:
RACKETEERING
UNDER COLOR OF LAW
This is TREASONOUS.
To the Constitution and to the American People.
THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE CRIMINALS
No one in government is going to hold these individuals accountable. These criminals are too well entrenched and protected. And they sure aren’t going to hold themselves accountable.
That leaves us, the People, who have to do it. No one is coming to save you.
Below, I fully expose the fraud and dox the specific individuals I have dealt with directly, which this is only a small fraction of the criminals involved in this particular fraud (among many). But we have to start somewhere.
It is up to you to educate yourself about what the income tax actually is and to refuse to participate in the fraud being committed. You can start here.
My Correspondence with These Individuals Provide All the Proof You Need of Fraud and Racketeering
I discovered what the income tax actually is and began filing my returns based on this correct understanding in 2021. I requested the return of ALL withholding for any gains that were not income, including social security and medicare withholding because those are also income taxes that do not apply to that which is not income.
The proof of the fraud and racketeering is in their words and actions, and in their lack of any defense to my accusations of fraud. They don’t even bother replying with anything of substance.
If my understanding were incorrect, then these individuals have had ample opportunity to point out my error.
They will not because they can not.
They make vague assertions, claims that are provably false, or simply ignore all requests to show me where I am in error.
I should not have to tell you this is not the behavior of individuals with integrity.
Here is a timeline of all communications between me and the IRS. This is ordered by the date of each letter, notice, filing or communication. However, this includes all correspondences for all tax years and the narrative is difficult to follow in this format. But, it’s all there if you want to review it for yourself. I suggest you do so.
Here is another version that keeps each tax year together and is presented as a back-and-forth conversation. It’s easier to follow.
Both versions include links [not all documents have been uploaded so not all links are active] to the actual pdf document of what was sent and/or received, with only minor redactions.
I beg you to notice:
- All accusations that we’ve done something incorrect or unlawful are vague and not specific
- All requests for details or clarity are ignored
- All of our sworn testimony is ignored
- None of our questions are answered
- None of our requests for documentation or proof of wrongdoing are fulfilled
- At no point were we provided due process
Does this look like the work of honest individuals implementing a lawful tax or does it look like a group of criminals that have usurped government authority for their own ends?
