Now we are taxed slaves! Thread: Pay No Taxes legally -End the FED -synopsis page 8-Why are waiting for someone to do it for us like Ron paul Your local banks nor the Federal Reserve main banks will give you anything but FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES, so do not ask! You do not need anything else!! [link to ustreas.gov (secure)] Both United States Notes and Federal Reserve Notes are parts of our national currency and both are legal tender. They circulate as money in the same way. However, the issuing authority for them comes from different statutes. United States Notes were redeemable in gold until 1933, when the United States abandoned the gold standard. Since then, both currencies have served essentially the same purpose, and have had the same value. Because United States Notes serve no function that is not already adequately served by Federal Reserve Notes, their issuance was discontinued, and none have been placed in to circulation since January 21, 1971." Federal Reserve notes are, UPON DEMAND, lawful money. The banks now do all of the exchanging and crediting of accounts being redeemed in lawful money in house. They will not give you US Bank notes, they cannot, it is against the law for them to deal in them. Nor will they accept deposits of Gold coins for the same reason. IT IS YOUR DEMAND THAT MAKES THE TRANSITION from Federal Reserve Credit/debt to LAWFUL MONEY because you act as one of the PEOPLE when you do it, not as a US Corporate US Citizen. You sign all of your deposit slips and checks like this: "Deposit for credit on account or exchange for non-negotiable Federal Reserve Notes of face value." By: Your signature DBA ALL CAPS NAME Most people just get a stamp made (without the signature, of course and stamp the checks and deposit slips. The bank calls them "restricted endorsements". The banks will not like this, because they cannot fractional-ise the deposit amount. But that is all in house and has nothing to do with your demand. Some people keep a copy of all checks and deposits or the bank will sometimes send them back. ATMS now give a copy of the check, front and back, so you can keep that as your record.

People have been doing this since 1933 (actually, this has been an issue since the civil war), most of the time, they would just exchange the FRNs for US Bank Notes, but that changed in 1977. Now, the FRN serves as US Bank notes and the Bank does an accounting of all Lawful money transactions. As for the IRS, one could file for a full refund or, after a year of redeeming lawful money, do a ZERO withholding on the employers W-4. Then, when you file a 1040, you simply have ZERO taxable income, but you must redeem lawful money for a full year before doing that. The IRS has the right to contact you and you must provide your proof that you have been redeeming lawful money with your demands. As for direct deposit, change your signature card as directed above, or send a notarized letter to your bank that all withdrawals or deposits on account XXXXXX-XXXXXX are for credit on account or exchanged for lawful money in the form of Non-negotiable Federal Reserve Notes of face value. osbogosley; All words I type are illegal advice, really tired of disclaimers! |

Now we are taxed slaves! Not saying I like how things are working now. I don't, a lot. But a lot of what I don't like is the way the collusion of leaders of industry and top politicians are dragging us BACK to the conditions of 1910. I happen to like Social Security, Medicare, cancer research, the EPA, OSHA, minimum wage, the Federal highway system, clean water, city sanitation, Yosemite and other National parks, etc. What is happening today is, of course, that the agencies that defend us from the robber barons; those agencies that keep employers from creating blatantly unsafe working conditions or dumping toxins willy-nilly about them or painting children's toys with lead are being defanged. Are being systematically dismantled in order to increase profits -- aka, increase the money earned by a very small number of already extremely wealthy individuals. Does any of these savings trickle down to the worker? No. When US Mines is allowed to skirt safety regulations, that doesn't translate in to higher pay for miners, or cheaper energy costs. It translates into mine disasters. There is a new breed of politician out there, inheritors of the mantle of Boss Tweed. They have figured out how to cozy up to the worst of the modern robber barons, and take the bribes they offer to create slick media campaigns in which they manage to sound as if they are doing something entirely different than they are. They talk about "socialism" and claim they are protecting the worker and the individual. And nothing is further from the truth. |

Yes, the tax system should be simplified. It'll never be simplified for the same reason a money-laundering operation will never be simplified. It has to be complex by its very nature to conceal its true purpose and encourage the propaganda myths with which it is surrounded. We are taxed so our rulers can live at our expense. The rest is just details. The very reason it is so complex is because the rich don't pay their share and have devised all kinds of hidden ways to make the middle and lower middle class pay more. The rich-vs-government is the most hilarious myth of all. The rich are, by and large, the government's front-line tax collectors. Don't you get it? The argument is not whether the rich should be taxed but, rather, how much of the tax benefit should go straight to Washington DC and how much should be left in the hands of the publicani - the wealthy CEOs, corporate board members and other corporatists who send your taxes in to IRS Headquarters every two weeks. Democrats are aligned with the central power and Republicans are aligned with the publicani. And then they sell the public this big charade that this whole political struggle has something to do with the little people just to keep us fat, dumb and happy. In fact, your list includes taxes payed by the very lower class that lots of Repubtards claim pay 'no taxes'. Obviously they do, and lots of them. The tax schedule is designed to be spread across as many people as possible to reduce the potential for revolt. This is why the middle-class is effectively taxed the most heavily because the middle-class is responsible for the largest portion of total economic activity. Taking a little slice from all of that activity creates the smallest total "psychological burden" and creates the minimal chance of tax revolt. Taxation is a goddamn science, nothing about it is an accident or the result of gridlock or confusion of some kind, all appearances aside. But if you think the average American almost 100 years ago was well off you need to crack open some actual history books and spend less time copying down Paultard talking points. We were certainly free 200 years ago than today, the blight of slavery, of course, excepted.
