Why the decline in the quality of life? Why the dependence on government? Why the increase in violent crime? Why the high divorce rate? Why the decline in educational standards? Why the poor economy? Why jihad?
In 1974—on my own—I went to the county law library to study the Constitution and Bill of Rights, not for the sake of knowing, but with a plan to use the law to protect my inalienable right to exist on the fruits of my labor.
The “authorities” had informed me that the 16th Amendment to the Constitution (the income tax amendment) gave Congress the authority to tax my income up to 100 percent. I bet you didn’t know that. The reason you don’t, I venture to say, is because you have not demanded your right to exist on the fruits of your labor.
The question came up because in 1973 my business enterprise lost money. I was forced to sell some of my homestead for living costs. Double digit inflation had caused the dollar to be worth half as much. I sold the land for double what I paid for it and broke even. The law said I made a capital gain that was taxable. I said no to that, pointing out that the government entitled got cost of living increases. I was entitled to the same consideration. The United States said no, I was not entitled to the same consideration. What does that make government entitlement?
A Tax Court judge called me into his chambers and asked me why I felt that I didn’t owe any tax when everybody else had to pay their tax. I explained. The judge said he was going to rule against me. In fact, the law said he had to rule against me. But he ruled against the IRS on its erroneous tax assessment, it's deliberate mistake, the purpose of which was to tell me you don't mess with the IRS.
After the case was closed, the IRS reinstated its erroneous assessment and confiscated my property to pay an assessment that the tax court had ruled against. It was an obstruction of justice. The Court of Appeals ruled for the IRS. The Supreme Court refused to hear the case.
I filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the money the IRS lawlessly took from me. The Department of Justice said the assessment was wrongful. My property was refunded. Then the IRS then went to my bank and took every cent in my checking account. For the good of all, Congress allows the IRS to make limitless mistakes. I bet you didn't know that. Thanks to a complicit press, I was out of sight, out of mind.
A miracle: The Palm Beach Post investigated. The IRS admitted that for 11 years it had been mistaken. A front page story detailed what had happened. It didn’t change a thing. if the story did anything, it scared taxpayers. They knew what would happen if they dared to challenge their tax. For the good of all, we have the problems I named in my first paragraph.
My case makes the statement that no American has an inalienable right to exist on the fruits of his own labor. Does this not answer the questions I raised in my first paragraph?
The uprising in Egypt is going to be repeated in America. The question is what comes next? Those same politicians who robbed you of your sacred rights envision themselves in total control of your lives. How do you stop them?
If my present life could be any better, I don’t know how. What brought about my good fortune? Was it the luck of the draw? Which is bigger, my inalienable rights or politicians doing what is best for all? I’ve been telling you for several months how I won. You don’t believe me.
