To the Presidents Tax Advisory Panel:

Gentlemen and Ladies,

I was to express my opinions on this matter for your records.

Firstly, our Founding Fathers came to America to get out from under all
of the taxiation that was occurring in Europe and making tax slaves out
of their citizens. A little over 200 years later, the USA's government
has now done the same thing and made tax slaves out of every American
citizen.

Secondly, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, is supposed is supposed
to be the Supreme Law of this Nation, and yet nearly every
administration since the 13 colonies has done nothing but try to impose
more and more taxiation upon the citizens of this country which is
totally wrong.

Thirdly, the 16^th^ Amendment to the Constitution from all of my
investigations was never properly ratified, thus making this an illegal
Amendment which should never have existed in the first place.

Fourth, our governmental body was supposed to have gotten two thirds of
it's financial support from Tariffs and Import taxes, so giving free
trade is also a disregard for our Constitution and it is basically
illegal.

Fifth, our Constitution also clearly stated for our government to not
get intangled into the affairs of other countries and yet different
administrations continually get involved into other countries businesses
and give our tax dollars away like it is money growing on trees in all
manners of excuses, such as foreign aid, help, for this reason or that
reason and this is just plain wrong period. One cannot buy friends and
if other governments cannot support themselves and their countries and
their peoples from their own means, then why should we, the USA
continually keep supporting them and bailing them out? Why do we forgive
loans to any other foreign country? Are they giving us monies? Are they
supporting our Government and Country? I think not and this is just
totally wrong.

Sixth, our government has gotten just too big. It was never meant to be
like it is today with so many different departments to continually keep
finding excuses to raise taxes for one excuse or the other.

Our Federal Government is there to take care of this country only, not
every country on this entire planet and it is about time that it starts
taking care of our country and our peoples FIRST period and stop taxing
American citizens to death to support all of these foolish programs and
pork barrel projects that so many elected officials keep coming up with.
Our Federal Government needs to abide by our Constitution itself first
because it is not beyond the Law either.

IF our Government would slim itself down to what is should be there
would be no need for so many billions of dollars in taxes.

Seventh, our monetary system in the United States of America is supposed
to be run and controlled by the National Treasury which is a branch of
our Federal Government, not by this Federal Reserve Banking system which
is not an actual branch of our Federal Government that our Government
continually keeps borrowing from and keeping itself in debt for every
imaginable reason some idiot elected official can come up with to keep
American citizens in this tax slavery business that is occurring. This
needs to be abolished and our Federal Government go back to the gold
standard that was working very well until some greedy peoples duped
everyone into thinking that the 16^th^ Amendment was ratified and
letting foreigners control our monetary system, thus taking us away from
the gold system this country origionally had into a system of paper that
is basically apparently worthless since it doesn't purchase much any
more.

The IRS should not even be existing as it is. It has gotten way too
large and out of control and it needs to be abolished period. A fair
taxation system of say 10% of everyones monies outside of actual wages
should be enough to support any government if it also gets 2/3's of it's
monies from Tariffs and Import Taxes and if it cannot, then it needs to
find other means of support and stop taxing American citizens to the
brink of extinction nearly.

On the IRS Form 1040 it plainly states that these taxes are "voluntary",
but if one decides they want to volunteer out of this taxation system,
then they are put in jail over it. This is totally wrong period. It is a
totally unfair system period and needs abolishing and things needs to
change immediately.

We should not keep giving monies, and I mean millions and billions of
tax dollars to other countries period. We are not the world's police
force and money sources and this is wrong also.

We are now taxed on absolutely everything and nearly every move a human
can make or do in the USA, even toilet paper is taxed which is absured
indeed, but yet it is and need I say more on that????? I am trying to
remain polite in what I am saying here because the American citizens are
nothing more than tax slaves to an out of control Federal Government and
State and Local governments also.

If something is taxed, then does an individual actually own it? I don't
think so because if those taxes are not paid on it, then the respective
governments can and will come in and take it away from them, so
apparently no one actually owns anything in the USA any more period
because we are so utterly taxed to death in this country and this is
just plain wrong period.

No government should be taxing it's citizens in such manners and yet it
has gotten to be even worse here than it was in Europe over 200 years
ago when peoples left to come to this country to try to find some
freedom from oppression and taxation and yes, emphatically something
needs to be done about it all from the Federal levels down to the local
levels.

All of these pork barrel government projects need to be cut out totally
and stopped and elected officials need to get a real reality check and
stop their foolishness, stop their abuses of the We The Peoples and stop
the taxation slavery system existing in this country now.

With this I conclude my comments and hope that all I have said does not
fall upon deaf ears.
