Are You required to Pay a Tax on Your Income?

Updated 01-07-2007

The Deception

Most of us have been duped into believing that we Americans are required to pay a tax on our incomes. It has been drilled into us since our births. It has become such an ingrained part of our belief systems that we refuse to accept that we could have been wrong or, worse yet, lied to by the very government that was supposed to be protecting us. It is so much a part of our belief system that many of us will not even take the time to read the information that might convince us that we have made a mistake.

The first reaction to information that disagrees with our belief system is resistance. After a while, the smart ones grow curious and will at least look inquisitively into the contrary information presented. Then we begin to investigate the information to actually confirm the truthfulness of it. If we are presented with sound logical information, we then follow with acceptance.

I am here to tell you to skip the first couple of steps and dig in deep to what I have to say here. Take time to investigate other sources and decide for yourself the truthfulness of the information. There are numerous pages of information on this site that support the argument presented here. This site does not propose any form of trust, off shore accounts or any other scheme or scam that would have you hide your assests from the IRS or federal government. That is for those who fall into the jurisdiction of the federal govenment. As you will find out here, sovereign Citizens do not fall into the jurisdiction of the federal government and we present Supreme Court cases that, without a doubt, support his stance.

There are other sites that present very detailed analysis of information about the fraud that has been perpetrated upon the American public. Some of these sites support the information presented here and some of them denounce the information presented here. Most of the sites that denounce the information here, do not do so directly. The arguments they present almost always address trusts and other such schemes for, as mentioned earlier, hiding assets. They will also call those who know the truth and do not pay income taxes nor file a return "tax evaders", "tax protestors" and similar such names. This is done in a feable attempt to discredit the source so that others who have not learned the truth will look no further. Many of the sites who denounce the stance presented here get almost all of their information from the IRS. That is like asking a burglar if he stole your stuff and believing him when he says, "No." They will have links to court cases in which people are being prosecuted and convicted for tax evasion. What needs to be at the forefront of your mind while reading this, is not all federal laws apply to everybody who resides in the united States of America, but applies only to those who fall within the "exclusive jurisdiction" of the federal government.

It should also be noted from the start of your studies the term income is defined nowhere in Title 26, so the Supreme Court has defined income for us. It does not mean your wages. We have a case reference page with many Supreme Court Cases to help make clear the stance presented here is not one of opinion other than that of the Supreme Court Justices who delivered them. We also present an example of how a lower court Judge actually broke the law and infringed on a Citizens Constitutional rights by not allowing his defense to present either Supreme Court cases nor require the IRS and Justice department to present the law that gives them the authority to levee a direct un-apportioned tax. This judge knows there is no such law and he also knows that we cannot be tried for breaking laws that do not exist.

The fact is, as Citizens of the united States of America you are also sovereign Citizens of the state in which you reside and the united States (of America). As sovereign Citizens, you are not required to pay an income tax. This has been ruled by the Supreme Court as un-Constitutional as it would be a restriction on a right that is gauranteed by the US Constitution. They determined that your property cannot be taxed directly by the federal governmnet, and your labor is the "original foundation of all other property", because it is through your labor that all of your other property is acquired.

The Supreme Court has also ruled that you cannot be forced to show any of your records. Even if you are in the territorial jurisdiction of the federal government and are called into meet with an IRS agent for an "audit", although you must bring your records, you do not have to show them to the agent as this would be an infringement on your fifth amendment right to not incriminate yourself. So if someone from the IRS tries to tell you that your records are not protected, simply ask the IRS agent if you can go to jail based on the information in your records. He will have to answer yes, because you can, if you are a federal subject.

The Hook

The hook by which they get you is to get you to sign a W-4 or W-9. When doing so you are voluntarily moving yourself from the freedom of sovereignty to the jurisdiction of the US federal government. By signing this form you have just waived all of your rights otherwise protected by the the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, because the federal governmnet may "exercise exclusive legislation over the "district" granted it in Article 1, Section 8 Clause. You have moved yourself from one of the United States the other.

Of course, the opposition likes to point out that people have been imprisoned and lost all of there belongings due to tax evasion and not paying their income tax. What you are not told is that when you are a subject of the federal government, the IRS, a Puerto Rican Corporation, has been granted jurisdiction through appointment from the US Department of the Treasury. You are also not told that the IRS has NO jurisdiction over sovereign citizens, who are actually non-resident aliens with respect to the federal government.

Just who, exactly, are federal subjects? Well, anyone who lives in one of the US federal territories is a federal subject. That means people who live in Washington DC, Puerto Rico, Guam or any other territory. It includes federal employees like postal workers, military personnel, FBI and ATC agents and, yes, IRS employees. Hmmmm. Maybe, that is why they work so fervently to perpetrate this fraud through the fear tactics they use. Federal subjects are also people who are from others countries who request to our federal government to be granted permission to live in our country. It also includes organizations who apply to the IRS for "tax excempt status".

There is at least one site that purports that this philosophy is incorrect, because Title 26 covers "sources of income from within and without" the country. This particular individual does not, however, cover the fact that the law only speaks of resident aliens when covering these two areas. As pointed out earlier, if you are born in the United States of America, for example Alaska, Alabama.... Washington or Wyoming, you are not a US person, but are instead a sovereign Citizen of Alaska, Alabama.... Washington or Wyoming.

It is even common practice for the prosecuting attorney from the US Department of Justice to ask if you are "a US citizen" first thing before beginning a trial to establish jurisdiction. The Supreme Court has ruled that there are two separate United States. When you are in tax court, the United States that the prosecuting attorney is asking about is not the one that most of us would think it is. He is asking about the one that the federal government has jurisdiction over. If you were to respond to this question with, "No, I am a sovereign Citizen of (insert your state here)", then the judge would have no legitimate choice, but to dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction.

You may be wondering, now, how to stop participating in the fraud. If you are self employed or an employer, it is quite easy. The income tax system is really a silly one. The IRS gets most of its information about you from you. You sign a form making yourself a federal subject and you fill out a 1040 giving as much detailed information about your income as you can come up with. For the self employed you simply stop sending in the information. If you are an employer, then you simply stop withholding a portion of your employees pay and reporting their incomes to the IRS. Even if you have resident aliens working for you, the IRS cannot force a sovereign Citizen into working as an agent for the federal government by reporting their income and filling out the forms that the IRS requires. This would be forced involuntary servitude. It is not a priviledge to work and provide employment in this country, it is a right. (The Supreme Court has also rule that "income" is a gain on capital, separated from that capital, but that is another subject coming soon.)

If you are an employee, your task is more difficult. You can have a Certificate in Lieu of W4 ready to submit when you go in for your new job to submit with all of the other documentation. This might get by the finance department, but probably not. Remember, the employees who are working the finance department believe the fraud, too. If you take a stand, you might succeed or you might loose the job. Technically what the employer is doing is extortion and racketeering. You are being coerced into giving up part of your pay to an organization who has no right to it. Sounds like the mob, doesn't it? In any case you are in the right, but you may have to loose your job and have the financial capability to take the employer to court for racketeering and extortion. Most working class people don't have that capability.

One solution might be to increase your exemptions to the maximum allowable which in many cases would lower what is being withheld to nothing. You could then simply not file and when the IRS finally sends you notification about your not filing, you could send them a letter stating that you are a sovereign Citizen of (insert you state here) and do not owe taxes for the year in question. This is risky since you did sign a W4 testifying under penalty of perjury that you are "a US person". Now once you sent in the letter, the IRS would know that you know more than the average American and have, at the very least, been investigating your rights as a sovereign Citizen. They could take you to tax court, because you did sign the W4 after all. Make sure when you sign the W4 or W9 that you right above your signature "Without Prejudice, UCC 1-207". Since you can also change any contract you sign before signing, you could change the "under penatly of purjury" to under penatly of pwerjury under the laws of the unied States of America". I would also scratch out the "I am a US person" and replace it with "I am a Citizen of the United States of America". Whatever you do when signing a W-4 or W-9 to gain employment, it can still be argued that you were coerced in doing so to gain employment, because you have to earn a living to support yourself and your family. They would also consider that others, who have not done the research you have, might make better targets. Of course, since you have been daring to question the authority of the IRS, they might take you to court anyway out of retaliation, even though you would prevail. They also know that many people, once pulled into tax court, become fearful, and when asked if they are a US citizen answer in the affirmative, giving the IRS the authority they have been looking for.

Upon initially contemplating doing what I have just suggested you might think I am nuts and you will definitely end up in prison or at least fined. Remember, if you are a sovereign Citizen, you are not supposed to be doing these things anyway. If you are doing them, then the IRS assumes that you know what you are doing and must have jurisdiction over you. If the IRS has jurisdiction over you then all of the laws apply.

Many of you will read this information and even agree with it after collecting and studying other sources, yet you will continue to do what you have always done. You will file your returns and sign your W4's and W9's. You will do so out of fear. This fear is exactly what the IRS wants. They want to scare you into making yourself a subject of the federal government. They do this not because they want to make you obey the law, they do this because they do not have authority over sovereign Citizens and they gain that authority once you give up your sovereignty by signing a W4 or W9. Remember that in their "United States" the federal governmnet is the sovereign. In our "United States", we the people are the sovereign. There can only be one entity as sovereign.

The most in depth information that I have been able to find is in a book found on the web at Supreme Law. The book is called the Federal Zone by Paul Andrew Mitchell. Read every word of it. It will open your eyes and change your life. There are other resources linked on this site to Supreme Court decisions in both our Case Reference page and our "income definition" page.

When you read information presented by any individual or group of individuals, the reader should always approach with skepticism. After all, the sender of the message is biased and is attempting to persuade the reader to believe as he does. When you read any book or article you will find references to case law and the law itself. Don't take the author's word for what he is proclaiming, nor mine. Read the case law, and other references provided. These resources speak for themselves. Whatever anyone argues, he should be able to show where these Supreme Court decisions have been overturned by the Supreme Court itself. Only the Supreme Court can overturn a Supreme Court decision.

You might also take the time to read an article on this site Supreme Court Rules Two United States. It has link to the Supreme Court decision in which the two "United States" were defined. This is the biggest scam ever perpetrated by anyone. It is estimated tha over 70 million people have stop playing the IRS tax game as of this writing. Maybe you can make it 70,000,001.
