The government has avoided addressing the findings and allegations of fraud made by Bill Benson with regard to the ratification of the 16th amendment in 1913 by Secretary of State Philander Knox. The Supreme Court said in 1986 that it was a political question for Congress to deal with. Besides not answering the allegation, they got the date wrong - it was February 25, 1913. Knowledge is power. Only a well-informed people will bring the federal tax policies and programs back under the control of the people and their constitution.
Education can take many forms.
The use of the print and broadcast media and other instruments of communications is one approach to educating one another about the problem. This is the vision. Then, walking two abreast, with a yard between pairs, they walk down Constitution Avenue to the corner of the IRS Headquarters Building. At the head of the column are the likes of Bill Benson, Joe Banister, Sherry Jackson, John Turner, John Kotmair, Irwin Schiff, Larry Becraft, Larken Rose, Devvy Kidd, Ed Rivera, Otto Skinner, Dave Bosset, Dick Simkanin, Nick Jesson, Al Thompson, Leonard Roberto and scores of others who, for years have been courageously confronting the apparent income tax hoax, each in his or her own way. Americans all over the country were aghast at the behavior of the government, and their sympathies went with the people.
