UPDATES:
* "Money"
"Money is a subject we all take a superficial interest in, but seldom do we seek an understanding of its nature or the consequences of leaving such matters to our "experts." If we were to think diligently about such terms as "money, dollar, credit, bonds," etc. we might just realize we have let familiarity breed contempt, just as many of us have come to take for granted such things as telephones, televisions, airplanes and the internal combustion engine. But how many of us fully understand how these things work, despite their everyday use? Keeping this in mind, let us examine more closely this thing called "money" and perhaps lay bare the reason for our distressed economy."

NEWS:
* Ron Paul Urges Colleagues to Abolish Withholding Tax - Washington, D.C
- A Tax Freedom 101 Commentary included. Our comments are inserted in bold italics with TF101 >> bullets at the beginning and close of each one of our responses.

FOR RELEASE
August 1, 2000
In a letter written to his Congressional colleagues, Representative Ron Paul urged support for the "Cost of Government Awareness Act of 2000" (H.R. 4855), a bill he recently introduced for consideration by the House Ways and Means committee. The principal feature of the legislation is the elimination of withholding taxes, a measure designed to restore to taxpayers a sense of how much they pay each month to fund the federal government.

TF101 >> We should clarify things here to say that the Cost of Government Awareness Act of 2000 proposed by Ron Paul would not eliminate withholding taxes, but rather rearrange how and when they are to be paid. The measure would only remove the "pay as you go plan" designed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Beardsley Ruml back during the course of World War II, and replace it with a monthly mortgage type payment. >>

"Withholding taxes are fundamentally deceptive" Paul stated. "The government knows that the easiest way to tax workers is by taking payments directly out of their paychecks. The premise is that the taxpayer won't miss the portion of his paycheck he never gets. As a result, Congress has had an easier time of steadily raising taxes. I want taxpayers to keep all of their paychecks, and pay for government each month with their mortgage and other bills. Then Americans will see just how much of their income goes to taxes, and hopefully they will demand true tax reform."

TF101 >> We agree with Dr. Paul's statement about withholding taxes being deceptive, however not for the reasons he states above. These withholding taxes were designed to be deceptive from the git-go, and as you research this topic you will discover that the tax continues to be misunderstood, and deliberately in our most humble opinion, shuffled about by Congress with regularity to continue with its obfuscation.

The tax we know today as the withholding tax was at one time called the "Victory Tax". The Victory Tax Act was passed shortly after the war began and in 1943 was established to help pay for the continuing war effort. It was a direct tax on property (labor) and therefore was totally un-Constitutional. However being the Patriotic folks that Americans were and still are the Act was never challenged, as the tax was propagandized to pay for and "win" the war. After the war, the Victory Tax Act was later recodefied under section 3402 of Subtitle C, titled: The Wage and Employment Tax. Subtitle C is also known as the Social Security tax. The Social Security Act was passed back in 1935 by FDR. The section heading of 3402 is deceptive in itself as it is called: "Income tax collected at source," and when you read the law is solely based upon voluntary compliance and self assessment for Citizen "employees" and "employers", and has absolutely nothing to do with the income tax whatsoever. >>

"Withholding taxes are presumptively taken, often resulting in an interest-free loan by the taxpayer to the Treasury which is not refunded until sometime the next year" Paul continued. "Furthermore, employers face a tremendous burden complying with the withholding requirements. Private employers should not be required to determine and collect federal tax liabilities. The federal government ought to have the honesty to present the American people with a monthly tax bill."

TF101 >> They [the government] should have the honesty to tell the public that they do not have to participate in their withholding schemes in order to build credits toward a totally voluntary program of wealth redistribution and "entitlement" programs via the social security program. We don't see how a monthly tax bill following the nature of a "mortgage" would resolve the real issue about withholding taxes, but Representative Paul's rationale is that it will spur action on the part of Taxpayers to complain more about how much they give to government, albeit voluntarily, and help push through "true" tax reform. >>

Of course we know that there can be no true tax reform until there is true monetary reform first. If the reform Paul is referencing is by changing the strong-armed tactics of the IRS, then that would be a real feat. If the Taxpayers Bill of Rights, condensed to read "Taxpayers Rights", a true oxymoron since Taxpayers are not afforded rights, but rather duties and responsibilities, is an example of Congress' attempts at reform - then they are just wasting everybody's time. However cleverly placed Tax Act's of Congress have always resulted in hiding the truth as will Paul's Cost of Government Awareness Act of 2000. >>

"It is time to end the deception of withholding taxes, which hide the true cost of government and make tax increases more feasible" Paul concluded. "My legislation is designed to create support for dramatically reduced income taxes and a simpler system."

TF101 >> The illusion of "the tax system" is that it appears complex, when in principal it is actually quite simple indeed. We just pray that Representative Ron Paul of Texas "simpler system" is the one the founders intended, and wrote into the supreme law of the land, the Constitution. The irony of it all is if this is the simpler system Ron Paul refers to there will be no need to do anything except inform the public of the real truth behind voluntary compliance and self-assessment that is connected with the current withholding tax. >>

Millions of American Christians either work for wages and have the social security employment tax withheld from their paychecks - matched by their participating employer - or work for themselves and pay the self-employment tax, all of the above believing that these withholdings and payments are required by law. They also believe that these monies are sequestered in a "Social Security Trust Fund" to support them when they retire and begin drawing monthly benefits.

Nothing could be further from the truth. No individual's monies are set aside for future payments to that same individual. Entitlement benefits received this month are paid with tax monies withheld from total strangers working last month, last week, perhaps even yesterday given today's rapid electronic transmission of withholdings and benefits payments. However, withholding is required by law only within the four island possessions listed in 26 USC 3121(e), not within the 50 States of the Union, and then only of those who have applied for and been assigned a Social Security Number. However, there is no legal requirement to apply (see 42 USC 405(c)(2)(b)(i)(II).

Americans are being deceived as to the truth behind this intergenerational wealth transfer scheme by a humanist government that could run Public Service Announcements on television tonight explaining the truth in vivid detail, but chooses not to. This is fraudulent concealment. Also, fraudulent representation.

Fraud, as defined in Black's Law Dictionary, Revised 4th Edition: "A false representation of a matter of fact, whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of that which should have been disclosed..."

Fraudulent Concealment, as defined ibid: "The hiding or suppression of a material fact or circumstance which the party is legally or morally bound to disclose."

Fraudulent Representation, also as defined ibid: "A false statement as to material fact, made with intent that another rely thereon, which is believe by other party and on which he relies and by which he is induced to act and does act to his injury, and statement is fraudulent if speaker knows statement to be false or if it is made with utter disregard of its truth and falsity."

From God's Law as set forth in The Holy Bible, 6th Commandment: "Thou shalt not steal." But what is it to steal?

"Steal", as defined in Black's Law Dictionary, Revised 4th Edition: "...the felonious taking and carrying away of the personal property of another...without right and without leave or consent of owner...the criminal taking of personal property either by larceny, embezzlement, or false pretenses."

"Steal", as defined in Webster's New 20th Century Dictionary, Unabridged, Second Edition: "To take or appropriate without permission, dishonestly or unlawfully, especially in a secret or surreptitious manner."

From The United States Constitution: "...nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation."

The grim, bald truth is that millions of Americans, including Christian Americans who enjoy the receipt of Social Security and other entitlement benefits, are unwittingly stealing from their brothers and sisters in clear, undeniable violation of the 6th Commandment. They live in opposition to God's law, yet, although "ignorance of the law is no excuse", perhaps they are nonetheless to be forgiven in that their moral defense lies in their ignorance.

Are you currently receiving Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or unemployment benefits; food stamps; agricultural or housing subsidies; a small business or college loan; free milk or cheese, etc.?

All such funds are transfer payments extracted from the employment taxes of other Americans, a direct transfer of personal property via the government middleman from one private pocket to another -- perhaps to yours. In large part, the victims remain ignorant of this socialist wealth redistribution scheme which stands in repugnance to the intent of the Framers of the Constitution.

But you, Dear Christian Reader, you can no longer claim ignorance. Now you know.
