***Position Statement on Federal Revenue***

It is inconceivable that we as Constitutionally-based sovereign citizens
in and of the United States of America --- *"the land of the free and
home of the brave"* --- have allowed our leadership to espouse and
nurture a cruel, inequitable, ambiguous federal (revenue) tax system.
And that those, our representatives given a position of trust, have
created an income tax system for our federal revenue. This seemingly
brilliant means of funding our government was flawed at its onset and
generated a grossly counter-productive, parasitic---political culture
that was once a "sleeping giant" and that has grown into a hideous
monster. This economic incarceration has eroded the very character of
our nation these past nine decades... The intrusive federal income tax
and its little sisters, the corresponding state income taxes take away
every aspect of sovereign privacy and proprietorship. A fairly recent
invention, the deceptive, with-holding of income scheme (withholding
tax) is robbing incubator, and start-ups in our national commerce --- is
denying small businesses of valuable resource.

There is everything fundamental wrong in a tax system---the income
tax---that induces ordinary, hard-working, productive and *basically
honest* American citizens to allegedly *"lie and cheat"* in order to
keep what is rightfully theirs in the first place: hard-earned wages and
proprietary income --- the fruits of creativity, fortune and industry.

**Why is the present tax system** allowed to co-exist with all the other
tax schemes and diverse means created to progressively "pick the
pockets" of producers? Why? Because an elite, privileged few can use
such a gargantuan, economic "black cloud" to envelope the substance of
many to further their own agenda and redistribute wealth in such a
manner as to create a social strata to further their own ends--- *ways
and means...*

***The income tax is a predatory system...***

The income tax system with all of its Pandora's Box of schemes,
manipulations and injustices has caused our great nation to become a
breeding ground for a host of the malcontent, the despondent and the
proverbial "sluggard." Our nation prospers in spite of the income tax
--- federal/states' revenue system, not because of it. We are calling
for "revenue neutral" when we should be seeking "revenue transparent"
both income and disbursement. --- "Observe the ant..." --- "A laborer is
worthy of his hire."

It is insulting to the national intelligence to keep recycling the
mantra of "the existing income tax system is unnecessarily complex,
causes many headache and economic heartaches, and thus is burdening the
taxpayers..." --- No Kidding; what's new? "All aspects of the income tax
(IT) system and the IT financial/political counter-culture are unfair."
--- Really now... tell me something I don't already know. The only goal
the Presidential Tax Reform Panel should have is to get rid of IT ---
the income tax and immediately (not piecemeal) replace IT with a
national retail sales tax, the Fair Tax.

Let me make it very clear lest we get politically derailed. The only
true goal of the President's tax reform commission should be to get rid
of the income tax and IRS.

***Cease & Desist the income tax forever...***

Following are specific examples of how the income tax (IT) code and its
enforcement arms, the IRS and the Justice Department, federal and
corresponding state agencies, et al destroy an America citizen's life,
security, livelihood and "pursuit of happiness."

As far as I'm concerned, everything about the income tax system is
flawed, uniformly pervasive and unequivocally unfair. IT is a "cash cow"
for politicians to steal from me

(Continued) ---

without my avowed knowledge or even my permission. From birth my
substance has been systematically undermined... My rightful heritage has
been disfranchised, and my privacy has been rudely and unjustly stripped
--- all without my avowed permission --- all over my vehement
protests... verbalized by speech and in much writing.

Do I expect any good to come out of my testimony? No I do not; I only
expect more stalls, more delays, more hearings and more "red herring"
proposals. In other words, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
--- Mr. President, prove me wrong; please!

**DISTRIBUTE THIS FAR AND WIDE** ---

It shows why Congress & federal employees DON'T CARE ABOUT the rest of
us...

...The average Congressional pension is \$53,000 compared to Social
Security at \$21,900 annually... 2.4 times as much! --- Published in the
[Home News Tribune]{.underline} March 21, 2005 called "Congress members
savor perk of a lifetime..." and the perks are referred to as a
*"Platinum Parachute"* --- should Congress members and federal
government employees change the "status quo" -- Why? --- They have no
incentive!

**PROPOSAL**

**Comprehensive Reform of the federal revenue system ---**

Via the Presidential Tax Reform Commission --- President George W. Bush,
the floor of the United States Congress (vs. "buried in committee") and
the American local/national news media --- the insidious federal income
tax code should be forthwith "sunset" --- a political stall term until
it really happens --- and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) should be
forthwith abolished along with its charter --- eliminated forever. The
IRS and its counter-culture has orchestrated fear through intimidation
and caused true hardship, loss of life---livelihood.

**PROPOSAL (continued)**

**Comprehensive Reform... the Fair Tax -- practical, viable ---**

The only immediate, practical solution is the **Fair Tax Act** ---
S/H.R.25 --- a viable, studied and eminent solution. IRS agents can
become Border Patrol agents not unlike the recent "Minute Men"
voluntarily deployed throughout the Southwest border with Mexico. All
they need (or deserve) is "guard shacks" --- signal mirrors, cell phones
and potable water. IRS agents would need minimal training --- be spaced
every half-mile --- with three work shifts.

**Comprehensive Reform... consumption tax transition ---**

Going from an income tax system to the Fair Tax would immediately free
up resources for increased value-added productivity. Congress is
resistant to the obvious, why? --- Because it's been said, "Give a
people a glimmer of hope for freedom and they'll want it all." --- The
Berlin Wall is one perfect example... after former President Reagan's
famous "... Tear down this wall." Congress knows this (as well as the
"beltway crowd") and their game of entitlement and power will be taken
away by a consumption tax. -- "He who has the gold, makes the rules." --
Control is everything: people will regain control of their government.

One doesn't need to study the Fair Tax any longer... it's been eminently
studied to death. One doesn't need to educate Congress either. I
personally visited every each and every member of Congress and committee
directors, the presidential administration and cabinet officials, the
U.S. Supreme Court, the Washington, DC press corps, and made one-on-one
presentations to all. In the spring and summer (ten weeks total) just
before the terrorist attacks of 9/11, I made 640 presentations (core
time - six minutes) and hand-carried and delivered 820 Executive folders
on fundamental tax reform --- the national retail sales tax and the Fair
Tax proposals... in-depth with executive summaries and press releases.
For each, I ensured that the time, date and contact was so noted and
signed-off by the U.S. Congress, et al official... there is no question
that the knowledge is out... no excuses!

**PROPOSAL (continued)**

**Comprehensive Reform... "How long" in recent history? ---**

Not only has the income tax wasted time of taxpayer citizens, but since
the early 1990's, at every session of Congress and every political cycle
and every administration have many thousands of people taken their own
time---away from families/jobs and productive labor--- visiting,
calling, writing, and indirectly and directly calling for substantive,
true tax reform.

**Comprehensive Reform... How many proponents? ---**

Americans for Fair Taxation, the National Retail Sales Tax Alliance, the
National Taxpayers Union, Americans for Tax Reform, We The People, and
on-and-on ... including U.S. citizen taxpayer activists have visited the
Hill, emailed consistently, called incessantly, conducted hearings,
testified at Congressional hearings, and on-and-on... much weariness,
time well spent or wasted, and being "yelled at on the phone" as
President Bush's advisor Karl Rove has done with me after receiving a
multiplicity of emails, then been overloaded with faxes.

Why all this effort? Because of the "black hole" of apathy on the part
of our government when dealing with "the rest of the people" meaning
anyone outside the DC beltway or the beltway structure such as "The
Income Tax People" -- H&R Block, and all the facilitators.

**Why all this effort for the obvious?**

Because of the communist plank, "Give me two generations of your
youth..." --- As a nation, we've been brain-washed into believing that
the income tax is the only way to go, and all the deductions. Who knows
what their gross wage is, most only know what their "take home" pay is,
and like lemmings "play a fool's game" of write-offs. Many in "our"
Congress and "their" powerbrokers are wholly addicted to *the game* ---
"all is vanity..."

**PROPOSAL (continued)**

**Comprehensive Reform... "revenue neutral" ---**

Going from an income tax system to the Fair Tax would immediately level
the "playing field" (as it appears to be by Congress) by eliminating all
of the power-brokering, the entitlements, the social-engineering, the
constant studies to keep from going down the "slippery slope" of
cause-and-effect --- tampering with our economy and money system, and
our tax base would become transparent, dynamic and have great
ramifications:

1.  The national debt would be systematically, autonomously paid down to
    minimums

2.  The trade deficit(s) would be marginalized as the global "playing
    field" is leveled

3.  The American people would be happier, more productive and less
    stressed...

4.  The loss of revenue due to "underground economy" would be greatly
    reduced

5.  The national character would get a great moral boost --- in moral
    principals

6.  The time wasted by government and representatives would be greatly
    reduced

7.  The priorities such as energy, education, security, etc. would be
    enhanced...

**Comprehensive Reform... "revenue continuity" ---**

The **tax base** would become the tax foundation or the mainspring of
stable revenue, and the ***exemptions***, the ***deductions***, the
(tax) ***credits** and* ***exclusions*** would become a thing of the
past... a "thing of the past" where they rightfully belong.

These tax engineered "loopholes" and the entitled counter-culture, and
mindset, of the income tax would be a "heap on the ashes of history" ---
in the Twentieth Century where IT/they should be... a historical
footnote of what "not to do" if future generations are foolishly (read
"stupidly") so inclined.

**PROPOSAL (continued)**

**Comprehensive Reform... "one, uniform tax rate" ---**

Equal Protection: The tax rate (not, plural "rates") would be the same
for all (equal justice for all) and the system would be personally and
collectively "economically driven" which to any justice-seeking or
fair-minded, reasonable person is the only thing that makes sense.

The distribution of the tax **burden** ("burden" is key) would cease to
become a *burden* and more of a *responsibility*. Distribution (read
"redistribution") is what makes taxes become a burden, not
proportionate/equitable, transparent taxes such as the consumption
tax... Providing relief for those needy (when needed) is incumbent in
the FairTax pre-bates.

Charitable giving is a personal thing. Having the government get in
between one's desire to demonstrate charity is to create a selfish
person where a generous one existed before. The government needs to get
out of the way and quit disbursing politically motivated or on a
global/national scale --- geopolitically motivated giving --- charitable
or otherwise.

**Comprehensive Reform... "Home ownership -- haw, haw!" ---**

Home ownership is a joke, both on a national, state and local basis. --
When armed thugs can take away your "paid-for" home because you did not
pay "property tax" --- meaning "rent payment" for occupancy to the
county government, then there is no such a thing as home ownership, only
confiscatory taxation... representative government or not. Or when the
IRS or state revenue officials can go to the county one resides and/or
owns property ("real property") and get permission to place a lien on
said property pursuant to court ordered judgment (federal, state, local)
and place it on the auction block, this is none other than confiscation,
especially when the property can be auctioned off by the county for
property tax, but the so-called owner can't borrow money (due to income
tax lien) to pay the confiscatory property tax. -- I've **personally
experienced** this and it is unjust.

**PROPOSAL (continued)**

**Comprehensive Reform... "Transparent taxation" ---**

Going from an income tax system to the Fair Tax would immediately
simplify collection and generate fairness in the process. Business would
be treated like generators of our economic strength instead of being
relegated (in great part) to being "tax collectors" of the Internal
Revenue Service and state revenue systems. They would spend more time
accounting for business growth and security rather than maintaining
"trust accounts" and accounting of "with-held wages" for all the various
vehicles of personal tax invasion.

To restate so there is no misunderstanding: THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CODE
SHOULD BE SCRAPED IN ITS ENTIRETY. \-- THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
SHOULD BE DONE AWAY WITH IN ITS ENTIRETY AS IT IS BASED ON THE INCOME
TAX SYSTEM. -- A **few** U.S. Treasury officials can collect sales tax
moneys from the existing states' sales tax entities. --- Only a handful
of states would need to start up a sales tax infrastructure.

**Comprehensive Reform... "True privacy" ---**

My *"under durita"* (under duress) tax returns have been/are copyrighted
with proper caveats and markings --- the same used by an aerospace giant
when disclosing private or proprietary data (technical, marketing,
financial, personal, strategic, etc.) to the DOD -- Department of
Defense. Does the IRS honor this, not only "no" but "hell no" as they
act as if they believe they are above the law. I am of the firm
conviction that IRS officials and state revenue officials are not
"grandfathered" with immunity from criminal & civil prosecution... As
the IRS ignores the statute of limitations, then *quid pro quo*
prevails.

**PROPOSAL (continued)**

**Comprehensive Reform... "tax administration, etc." ---**

**My background** in the aerospace and defense industry is as a
recognized *National Resource* Specialist meaning that I have
demonstrated national excellence and expertise in cost-savings, mostly
driven by advanced or enhanced new technology systems, plain "common
sense" practicality, and mission-driven weight savings --- economy of
structure, materials, etc. -- "If it's too heavy it won't get off the
ground, and if it's too light then it will break." -- The best answer
lies somewhere in between, an engineering judgment.

***Call for passage of the Fair Tax Act -- S/H.R.25***

**Comprehensive Tax Reform... a word to the wise! ---**

**Any fool**, a "rocket scientist" or even a congress-member can see
that immediately going to the consumption Fair Tax federal revenue
system, and corresponding (rote) states' revenue systems will
dramatically and greatly improve our overall economic health:

As compared to the present income tax system, the Fair Tax would pave
the way for improved tax or revenue products, reduce cost of
collection/administration, provide for inherent simplicity, provide for
Constitutional (equal protection/access, etc.) fairness and equity,
focus on "Constitutional Rights" in-lieu-of the restrictive "civil
rights" which raises the bar on equity... and would inherently, greatly
enhance compliance, reducing the same in enforcement resources... Above
all the United States' pre-eminent economic posture and
national/socio-economic would secure global economic growth and
competitiveness.
