The statesmen who wrote the Constitution were fully aware of the dangers to liberty in allowing a central government to impose taxes directly upon individuals or upon property. The framers of the Constitution included not one, but two limitations in the Constitution that 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 each states population. Another words, if one person owes $10, all persons owe $10 not $10,000 or $100,000. The limitations forbidding direct taxation of individuals are found first in Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3, which states: "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers..." and again in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4, which states: "No Capitation, or other direct Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration here in before directed to be taken." These basic sections of the Constitution have never been repealed or amended. The Constitution still forbids direct taxation of individuals and property. In the past, America prospered and became the greatest and richest country in the world when individuals paid no income tax and governments revenues were raised by constitutionally authorized taxes on certain goods and services and on corporations. But now, money is taken from the productive sector of society by the income tax to support the non-productive sector, foreign aid, give-aways and a bloated, needless bureaucracy. The income tax paid by citizens sharply reduces their earnings, thus they buy less, causing business to decline, leading to unemployment and depression which lowers the standard of living for all Americans. The income tax has created havoc in America's economy, in addition to the loss of liberty and the harassment of our people by the IRS's oppressive collection tactics. The collection of the income tax enforced by fear and intimidation, it is as un-American as the origin of the income tax itself. A graduated income tax is the second plank of Karl Marx Communist Manifesto. Deceiving citizens into voluntarily subjecting themselves to a tax they do not owe is FRAUD. And when individuals who do voluntarily subject themselves to the income (excise) tax by filing returns, have assessments of tax laid on them directly by the IRS, it is a blatant violation of the constitutional limitation forbidding the direct taxation of individuals. If the IRS then confiscates the individuals wages or property by levy and seizure to settle the unconstitutionally laid tax claims, the action is pure theft under color of law. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. It was written to create a government of limited powers for the primary purpose of securing citizens rights to life, liberty and property. The Declaration of Independence states that it is the duty of citizens to oppose and resist abuses of their rights.These violations of citizens rights can be stopped if enough people become informed of these facts. The Constitution is a precious document of our heritage of freedom. Its guarantees of liberty are only as effective as the will of the people to enforce them. Your labor is your property. Knowledge will give you the power to protect and enjoy all the fruits of your labors. Make no mistake what the founding fathers would do today if they were serving in Congress. Impeachment proceedings would begin this very day and continue night and day. Those not impeached would be hanged for treason. Wake Up America!!!!!!!!!!!! Today, the Congress and the President, and the entire judicial system is a disgrace to our country.
