1. If The United States Constitution=
is
the Supreme Law of the Land....
·
Why are higher courts ignoring prior precedent cases,
constitutional law & inalienable rights re. =
private property?
·
Why are the legislatures & executive offices ignoring found=
ing
laws & trashing basic rights re. private property?
·
Why are basic Constitutional laws, which are clear to us, not c=
lear
to the courts, legislature or administration?
·
Why are not the courts, legislature & administration unanim=
ous
in protecting property rights cases?
·
Why are all of our constitutional & inalienable rights being
taken?
·
Why does government create & enforce their own rules while
ignoring every basic God given, natural, common & constitutional law in=
the
land? e.g. green laws, alternative energy laws, =
social
programs, worthless paper money, taxes, state Ed, et al.
2. We the people are sovereign citizens in sovereign states
· The Framers understood there is no higher power than an indepen= dent free man or women, next to God.
· No judge, jury, legislature, executive, UN, elected or unelected body can usurp individual sovereignty, legitimately
· Not even the constitution can usurp individual natural and inalienable rights, without force
· "Citizens possess rights; these rights cannot be converted= to privileges by government or anyone"
· The only individuals who would not have these rights & would therefore be liable to regulation by government are NONRESIDENT ALIENS doing business and working within the United States ... "
· Anything taken by force from a sovereign citizen goes against a= ll laws of the land and of God, its called stealing
· The Framers knew this, they suffered & revolted from 100 ye= ars of tyrannical tax taking of King George III
· Why would they create forced tax tyranny in a constitution invo= king what they loathed?

This is in addition to the Washington Supreme Court subverting =
an
initiative by WA citizens overwhelming voting to limit property taxes.
·
This is in addition to Washington State property taxes being
unconstitutional and unworkable, as you will read below.
·
This is in addition to the governor and her army having to be
pressured to over ride the high court injustice

4. Here is how 5 of the 9 Judges on the Washington State Supreme
Court Violated the United States Constitution AGAIN.
· =
"But today, because=
of
a 5-4 ruling by the State Supreme Court saying
voters "didn't understand" and were "misled" into appro=
ving
I-747,
taxpayers now face the nightmare scenario…We're in for absolute chaos. For six years, local governments
(counties, cities, ports, library districts, fire districts, cemetery
districts, parks districts, etc.) have been held to a 1% levy each year. Th=
eir
ruling today says I-747 no longer exists, and so local governments now sudd=
enly
have the unused taxing authority that they've accumulated over the past six
years (5% per year -- 6% instead of 1%). That means that each local governm=
ent
now has the power to jack up property taxes 30% this fall without a vote of=
the
people (I-747 required voter approval -- now that I-747 is overturned, voter
approval is no longer be required). Every local government knows that if th=
ey
don't take advantage of the situation and unilaterally increase taxes using
this unused taxing authority, the Legislature in 2008 might take that autho=
rity
away. They'll have to "use it or lose it." Don't believe a local
government would ever raise property taxes in a single year? In 2002, the P=
ort
of Seattle jacked up their property tax levy an astonishing 37% using unused
taxing authority - they got heat for it but they never repealed it." T=
im
Eyman
.
· =
" The 4
justices (of the 9) who wrote the minority opinion said it well: "No <=
br>
reasonable argument can be sustained that voters were in any way misled or =
confused by the effect of I-747, ……which expressly and=
was
specifically aimed at lowering the tax growth to one percent. The majority
seems to suggest that the voters are unable to think or read for themselves,
when in fact our democratic process is based on the assumption that voters =
do
in fact read and understand the impact of their votes." Tim Eyman

17. "Our tax system is based upon voluntary assessm= ent and payment, not upon distraint"
The Supreme Court, Flora v. U.S., 362 US145, pg. 176
·
"Until the emergence of the democratic
state, governments were expected to live off their own assets, supplemented=
by
customs, excise receipts and a variety of dues.
·
Direct taxes like the French taille or the
Russian soul tax, were imposed only on the lower
classes, i.e. the poorest elements and regarded as a mark of inferior social
status.
·
The affluent were asked for money only=
in
national emergencies, ..i.e. war=
·
Hence, over the centuries direct taxes, when
required, were treated as voluntary aids.
·
In England, direct taxes were viewed as gifts=
..
·
This attitude prevailed also in colonial Amer=
ica.
·
In early modern France, taxes voted by the
provincial estates were deemed free gifts (dons gratuits)
·
In ancient Athens, taxes were considered a
hallmark of tyranny; Athenian citizens were exempt from them.
·
The city-state financed itself from incomes of
public properties, silver mines, court fees, indirect levies, sales tax, ha=
rbor
tax
·
In emergencies Athenians donated money=
for
the city's defense according to their ability
·
Historical evidence thus indicates that, as a
rule, in the Western world since classical antiquity and until the twentieth
century, regular (as distinct from emergency) direct taxations was regar=
ded
as unlawful except for subject peoples; when imposed it carried the sti=
gma
of social inferiority.
·
Governments were expected in peace time to be
self supporting.
·
Direct taxes were mainly resorted to in times=
of
war. When such levies were required, they had to be approved by those who p=
aid
them... These were seen not as something the government was entitled to =
BUT
AS GIFTS.
·
Doubts have been raised as to the moral
justification of the very principle of taxation. ..
·
Another scholar declares the power to tax to be
nothing but a form of eminent domain without compensation and therefore
confiscation without cause.
·
Richard Epstein concurs; "With a tax,=
the
government takes property in the narrowest sense of the term, ending up
with ownership and possession of that which was once in private hands.
·
Taxation is prima facie a taking of private
property
·
The American Revolution was carried out for t=
he
protection of property.."
·
Above quoted from "Property and
Freedom", pgs. 236-239, Richard Pipes, Baird Research Professor of His=
tory
Harvard University

"Income" taxes are voluntary, i.e.
there is no law that says you have to file or pay. - search the key words a=

In Illinois, a judge must
take a second oath of office. Under 705 ILCS 35/2 states, in part, that

19. The U.S. Constitution allows for only two types of taxes
· Each state must follow the U.S. Constitution and ..
· The spirit of the Framers and the era it was written
· The first legitimate constitutional tax is "indirect"= and may be enforced
1.&n= bsp; It must be applied uniformly
2.&n= bsp; e.g. imposts (e.g. a custom duty), duties (import or export tax= ), excises (an inland tax or duty on commodities)
3.&n= bsp; while this tax is collected by business it is ultimately passed onto the consumer
4.&n= bsp; who then pays by free choice of purchasing the goods or service= s or not
· The second legitimate constitutional tax is "direct" meaning;
1.&n= bsp; It must to be apportioned evenly among the states by population=
2.&n= bsp; It is to be applied in emergency only
3.&n= bsp; It is to be 1/4% to 2% maximum (The Great Income Tax Hoax, pg 37)
4.&n= bsp; 2% was considered to hea= vy (Ibid)
5.&n= bsp; Direct taxes are VOLUNTARY (See #17 above)
6.&n= bsp; The colonies did not want any direct tax, they ran and revolted from this tyranny .
7.&n= bsp; They were well aware of the unfolding tyranny resulting from unbridled force of a FORCED DIRECT TAX.
8.&n= bsp; This "direct tax" was a compromise, i.e. they allowed= it but it was VOLUNTARY .
9.&n= bsp; The intent of the Founders was to keep the government the servant & prevent it from becoming the master.
10.&= nbsp; Government could not be restrained with FORCED DIRECT TAX.
11.&= nbsp; The SPIRIT of the leading colonialists can be found in the Declaration of Independence.
12.&= nbsp; This SPIRIT became the B= ODY of the laws of our land through our Constitution.
13.&= nbsp; The Founding Fathers = Would Not impose the same Forced Direct Tax= on themselves, they revolted from.
20. The key to understanding our freedoms & taxes is in the= INTENT & SPIRIT leading to the American Revolution
· The substance of this SPIRIT was in those who rebelled & revolted from the British imposed FORCED TAXES
· One third of the colonists wanted freedom from British FORCED TAX TYRANNY over the preceding 100 years
· The second one third, did not share in this spirit
· These Loyalist/Tories tried to subvert the uprising, i.e. they wanted their "security" under King George III
· The remaining one third, waffled depending on who was winning in the moment& their own self interest
· "The chief oppositi= on for independence came mostly from Pennsylvania, New York and South Carolina= .
· As Thomas Jefferson said, they "were not yet matured for falling from the parent stem."= http://thedeclarationofindependence.org/
· Only 1% fought and died for those 30% who wanted to free themse= lves from FORCED TAX TYRANNY
· Of that 1%, only ONE man was entirely responsible for our freed= om, i.e. General George Washington.
· Even congress uprooted & did not support General Washington & the troops consistently (sound familiar?)
1.&n= bsp; General Washington & the remaining 2,000 rag tag rebels were left to starve & freeze to death by Congress!
2.&n= bsp; George Washington was betrayed numerous times
3.&n= bsp; The war started in 1763 and ended in 1783
4.&n= bsp; 21 years + 94 battles + 62 troop movements + 33 Acts of British Parliament (sound familiar?)
5.&n= bsp; The American Revolution took an estimated 25,000 American lives=
6.&n= bsp; 1% of the population died for the some 30% wanting freedoms, equivalent to 3 million today
7.&n= bsp; It was the most costly war in American history except for the C= ivil War.
8.&n= bsp; All the freedoms won from this long battle were quickly lost to= the dark side, e.g. Congress
· Our current form of government is broken, tyrannical & enslaving compared to the Framers intent
1.&n= bsp; We The People do not have a legitimate government in any sense = of the meaning
2.&n= bsp; Free Choice is the key to stopping tyranny, the Founding Fathers knew this secret
3.&n= bsp; We must connect all the illegitimate dots of taking ASAP to ret= urn to freedom
4.&n= bsp; Politics and politicians are a dirty business and a dirty word, they live by taking from A and giving to B
5.&n= bsp; 99.9% of Americans are confused on these truths
6.&n= bsp; It goes against all the laws of the land to take by FORCE
7.&n= bsp; Now the majority are controlled by the minority & governmen= t is upside down and backwards
8.&n= bsp; The irony is, a "majority" & "minority", without individual free choice & sovereignty, ARE TYRANNICAL
9.&n= bsp; "Something has to die in order for us to begin to know our truths", Adrienne Rich
10.&= nbsp; What has to die is the u= se of force & tyranny in America by any government or non government group= s
