Nor do I advise anyone on whether or not they are required to file returns or pay taxes. If, in your pursuit of understanding of the law, you determine the law does not require you to file and therefore decide to stop filing tax returns (as I have done since 2002) or legally quit the social security program, that is entirely your decision.

No "tax guru" or other purveyor of "silver bullets" can take one iota of responsibility for you. I emphasize this point since anyone who learns that they have been defrauded through any means or has been the unwitting victim of a "sting" (via illegally enforced taxation or otherwise) typically experiences emotions of betrayal and sometimes rage. Such an individual upon learning "The Truth Behind The Income Tax" may be prone to impulsive and possibly premature action, such as latching on to whatever guru happens to be advocating the tax protest argument of the month.

For this reason, I'd like to assure you that I am not a "tax protester."I have absolutely no objection to or argument with the taxing statutes and regulations as they are currently written. Neither do they apply to the United States of America Citizen living and working within the fifty States of the Union. I pay the legally due taxes as the constitution allows. To comply with actions that counter the constitution is to commit treason and I have taken an oath to defend our constitution against ALL enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC. The IRS is a domestic enemy, among many others.

The information provided on this site is not based upon opinion, hearsay, rumor, untested theories or conjecture, but upon the factual truth based on almost 30 years of research, correspondence with the IRS and even many court battles. You or your tax preparer can research and verify the information for yourselves, and you should.

Since 1995, the nationwide organization of which I am a member (We The People - www.givemeliberty.org) provided this and more information to every Congressman and Senator, the President and others. The material sites indisputable facts of tax law, and none of our "public servants" have responded and have avoided the law... committing treason against our country.

A SPECIAL WORD TO THOSE IN GOVERNMENT.

This web site is for INFORMATIONAL purposes only. It is not my intention to defraud the government of what is legally theirs or to mislead or harm the public. Therefore if any staffer, employee, elected official or other representative of the government finds ANY of the information contained within this site to be inaccurate based upon the Law, please contact me and provide what you believe to be the correct information. If you can demonstrate to me where I am mistaken, I will make the necessary corrections to this site immediately.

WHAT I BELIEVE

I believe that there is a need for a limited, central government as called for by the Founding Fathers and circumscribed within the Constitution; that no man, including those in government, is ABOVE the written Law; that the government in meeting its needs for revenue as well as in all other matters must adhere to the Law just as "We The People" must; that the government has the authority to collect all lawfully imposed taxes pursuant to the rules and restrictions pertaining to direct and indirect taxes as prescribed in the Constitution, but has NO authority to exceed those mandates. Hopefully you, as a public servant to the People, agree. As Thomas Jefferson said, "In questions of power, then, let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution".
