|
|||
|
|
FOR INDIVIDUALS, INCOME TAX IS A VOLUNTARY TAX
|
|||
|
|
.
|
|||
|
|
The above statement makes many people skeptical when
|
|||
|
|
tehy read it. However, the basic reason for the truth of
|
|||
|
|
the statement is really very simple.
|
|||
|
|
.
|
|||
|
|
THE U.S. CONTITUTION F O R B I D S THE FEDERAL
|
|||
|
|
GOVERNMENT TO IMPOSE ANY TAX DIRECTLY UPON
|
|||
|
|
INDIVIDUALS.
|
|||
|
|
.
|
|||
|
|
INDIVIDUALS VOLUNTARILY IMPOSE AN INCOME TAX UPON
|
|||
|
|
THEMSELVES WHEN THEY FILE AN INCOME TAX RETURN.

|||

|||

|
Read on and learn why. You will be glad you spent
|
|||
|

a few minites to learn about these important facts.

AMERICANS ARE CONFUSED
|
|||
|
|
AND DECEIVED
|
|||
|
|
.
|
|||
|
|
Before World War II, individuals' wages were not
|
|||
|
|
considered to be subject to income taxes. During the war a
|
|||
|
|
"Victory Tax" was imposed on wages as an emergency measure
|
|||
|
|
to help pay for the war. The people did not realize that
|
|||
|
|
government could not constitutionally impose any tax
|
|||
|
|
directly on them, so they assumed that individuals and
|
|||
|
|
their earnings could be taxed directly.
|
|||
|
|
The Internal Revenue Service intentionally promoted this
|
|||
|
|
misunderstanding of taxing power through clever wording
|
|||
|
|
of its statements, publications and propaganda news
|
|||
|
|
releases. Consequently, Americans have been deceived into
|
|||
|
|
believing that they are required to pay an income tax which
|
|||
|
|
is laid on them directly by govenment. However, when the
|
|||
|
|
IRS's publications, U.S. Supreme Court decisions and the
|
|||
|
|
Internal Revenue Code (income tax law) are studied
|
|||
|
|
carefully, they show that for individuals, paying income
|
|||
|
|
tax is voluntary and that the filing of tax forms is also
|
|||
|
|
a voluntary action that is not required by law.
|
|||
|
|
.
|
|||
|
|
CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON
|
|||
|
|
TAXING POWER
|
|||
|
|
.
|
|||
|
|
In order to understand why paying income tax and filing
|
|||
|
|
tax forms are voluntay actions for individuals, it is
|
|||
|
|
essential to understand the limitations on federal
|
|||
|
|
taxation embodied in the United States Constitution.The
|
|||
|
|
statemen who wrote the Constitution were fully aware of
|
|||
|
|
the dangers to liberty allowing a central govenment to
|
|||
|
|
impose taxes directly upon individuals or upon property.
|
|||
|
|
.
|
|||
|
|
Tyranny resulting from direct taxation of individuals had
|
|||
|
|
led to the American Revolution only 12 years earlier when
|
|||
|
|
all the taxes collected amounted to less than 5% of the
|
|||
|
|
colonists earnings. This tyranny was referred to in the
|
|||
|
|
Declaration of Independence where in describing the
|
|||
|
|
reasons for the revolution, the founding fathers
|
|||
|
|
stated:"He(King George III) has erected a multitude
|
|||
|
|
of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers
|
|||
|
|
to harass our people, and eat out their substance".
|
|||
|
|
.
|
|||
|
|
Because of the knowledge of these facts, the framers
|
|||
|
|
of the Constitution include not one, but two limitations
|
|||
|
|
in the Constitution that absolutely forbid the federal
|
|||
|
|
government to impose any direct taxes upon individuals
|
|||
|
|
or upon property. All direct taxes are required to be
|
|||
|
|
"apportioned", which means that they must be laid upon
|
|||
|
|
the state governments in proportion to earch state's
|
|||
|
|
population.
|
|||
|
|
The limitations forbidding direct taxation of individuals
|
|||
|
|
are found first in Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3, which
|
|||
|
|
states:"Representative4s and direct Taxes shall be
|
|||
|
|
apportioned among the several States which may be
|
|||
|
|
included within this YUnion, according to their
|
|||
|
|
respective numbers..", and again in Artical 1, Section 9,
|
|||
|
|
Clause 4, which states: "No Capitation or other direct
|
|||
|
|
Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or
|
|||
|
|
Enumeration hereinbefore directed to be taken." These
|
|||
|
|
basic sections of the have never been repealed or
|
|||
|
|
amended. The Constitution still forbids direct taxation
|
|||
|
|
of individuals and property.

|||
