Taxes and the Prima Facie Law: The Truth

I woke anxious Saturday morning, the year was 1995. This dream was my worst nightmare. The message said all my money would be removed from my bank account. I did not know what would happen or who was going to take my money. This was my last unemployment check and I needed this money for my rent. The bank was closed on Saturdays so I went to several ATM machines around town and withdrew all but $50.52 dollars. Monday morning I checked my bank account, all my money was gone, I could not believe it!

Driving to the bank, I inquired of the manager what happened to the money in my account. He said, “On June 9, the IRS removed all the money from your account. I don’t have any other details for you.” I had none either. The IRS never sent a letter advising me of their intent and I was never contacted after the money was removed.

Later I called the Chevy Chase bank and asked for a copy of the IRS letter they received. I was told I had to request any information from the bank in writing.

I received this letter stating, “We received a Notice of Levyform from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) demanding all of the funds that you have on deposit with us. A copy of the Notice is enclosed for your information.”

Included in that letter was a bill for $75.00 dollars. They said, “I had to pay” because the IRS took my money. I politely told them they could contact the IRS for that money! To this day, I have not heard what happened to that money. I never received a letter from the IRS or anyone else in the U.S. government. I am grateful for supernatural intervention.

I found a few interesting articles on the Internet. One was called “The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments.” No matter how many arguments they continued to quote IRS codes. We know a code is not law.

Here’s a unique and different slant to the tax issue, did a higher power in my life know taxes are voluntary? I have that on the best authority available. I’m not new to miracles from God!

I began conducting my own personal investigation. I have a letter from the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Washington, D.C. – dated April 24, 1998 from the Assistant Chief Counsel, Acting Chief P.J.F.

His third paragraph states, “The federal income tax laws are constitutional. The Sixteenth Amendment of the Constitution relieved income taxes from the apportionment requirement of Art.” This is an exact quote. I know the wording sounds very strange.

Then he went on to quote Section Codes – not a law governing tax collection. Folks need to know a code is not law. Then stated, “However, payment of the tax is voluntary in the sense that it is a system of self-assessment; citizens calculate the amount of tax that they personally owe and file their returns on their own initiative.”

“Okay,” I said to myself. “Which is it, voluntary or a forced voluntary?” I decided, it’s a government of contradictions!

I guess no one told the people, who by the way were elected to represent us in Washington, D.C., the 16th Amendment to the Constitution was never ratified – never passed into law. See Bill Benson two-volume work entitled, “The Law That Never Was.” Bill Benson did his own research study into this critical problem. He investigated every state in the U.S. and found that only three states ratified the 16th Amendment to the Constitution. www.thelawthatneverwas.com.

Let me try an explanation in as few words as possible so that you may understand. Income is taxable, wages are not! Let me say this another way. Wages are earned – income is “other money” from “other sources.” Most people think this must be a joke. No kidding. Any money from gifts, grants, CD’s or income is taxable. I had to read it over and over myself to clearly understand the meaning.

The money you earn at a job is not taxable because it is a wage that you earn; it is not free money. I know, you never heard that before! What does it mean? In the Internal Revenue Code, our Congress never defined income, and there are many court cases that prove wages are not taxable. I could not believe it.

I started asking questions. “Are you sure our taxes are voluntary?”

Barrie Konicov has a book out called, “The Great Snow Job,” the story of taxes and money, fraud & slavery. Interesting I thought. The Supreme Count said, “There is a clear distinction between profit and wages, or compensation for labor. Compensation for labor cannot be regarded as profit within the meaning of the law.” Let’s put this in English we can understand. What the Supreme Court is saying, you work for your money. I had to read it over and over to actually understand.

On page 29 of his book there is a copy of a newspaper article written about Ms. Margaret Millner Richardson, the Washington Internal Revenue Commissioner. She states in this article, “We realize that for our voluntary income tax system to survive and for us to accomplish our mission we need to change the way we do business.” This is a direct quote in “Washington at Work,” March 30, 1994, as written by Robert D. Hershey, Jr.

In another Supreme Court case, Fisher v. Redfield, page 39, it is stated, “The individual, unlike the corporation, cannot be taxed for the mere privilege of existing.”

What is our United States government doing? It’s called a, “PRIMA FACIE LAW.” This means, “presumed to be true.”

Years ago, I belonged to a writer’s group in Maryland, meeting once a month discussing different issues and the latest writer to be published. One of the women spoke up and said she had read a couple articles about voluntary taxes. I perked up right away since I had been in this battle with the IRS for years.

“What magazine?” I asked.

“Connecting Link.” She was sure this was the name.

The next day I went on the Internet, looked up the magazine praying I would find those two articles. Again, supernatural forces began working. Out of the hundreds listed, I found two magazines. The first called, “Caught in the Trap,” by Barrie Konicov – Issue 29, 1995. The second “IRS Taxes Are Voluntary,” by Albert E. Carter – Issue 20, 1992.

Over the years I had received many certified letters from the IRS telling me how much I owed them. When the IRS sends you these letters telling you they will take your house, car, bank account money and anything else not nailed down, they don’t quote you the “law” that tells you they can and will take everything you own – what they do is quote you “CODES.” It’s right there on the paper and I’ve got several of them. They quote a code because they know there is NO law.

I called the IRS and talked with one of their employee’s. I had received my latest notice of – “We will take everything you own” – in fact; they said I did owe $170.00 dollars. I explained to the IRS person my research into this national disaster as a problem in our government. She placed me on hold. I waited and waited and waited. I thought I had lost her.

She returned to the phone after checking with her supervisor and said, and I quote, “Would you like to pay the balance of you’re voluntary taxes?”

I hesitated for a moment; I didn’t know what these people were going to do me next. It’s really sad that this government can cause us so much fear. I could be living on the street for all they cared. I finally just said, “No!” I knew I was correct on this issue and my facts were indisputable.

Her reply was matter of fact, “Okay, we will place your file on hold and contact you again in six months.”

Six months later they did contact me and six months after that. I guess someone finally read the information I sent and the IRS stopped contacting me. This personal story is only a thumb-nail sketch of the controversy surrounding the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The greatest hoax in American history.
