To quote James Madison; "if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood, the result is tyranny, whatever the political theory in vogue"
The hated Tax Form 1040 is so well known that hardly any American has NOT heard of it. Income Tax crimes are usually high profile and well known celebrities lead the long list of prosecutions designed to scare the common man on the street. The tax code of the federal government is over 6000 pages long and quite complicated. Some would say a Philadelphia lawyer has trouble with many parts of the tax code.
For many readers a background historical understanding of where we stand from the inception of "our constitution" is in order, two books come to mind. The modern tax honesty, "patriotic", movement, formerly called the tax revolt, chronicled for historical purposes by Dr. Martin Larson, in Tax Revolt, U.S.A. Another historian is Ralph Boryszewski, (an octogenarian retired police officer from New York), the founder of Foundation For Rights and the author of three books, the most popular being, 'The Constitution That Never Was". This book gives ample and generous information to indict the lawyers as traitors and usurpers since the end of English rule by monarchy.
It is common knowledge that our U.S. Congress, in conjunction with the U.S. Senate pass laws that are then signed by the President to become the law of the land. One such law is the Paperwork Reduction Act, originally passed in 1981, revised in 1995 and codified as Title 44 U.S. Code 3500, et seq.
Section 3512 reads:
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of
information that is subject to this subchapter if -
(1) the collection of information does not display a valid
control number assigned by the Director in accordance with
this subchapter; or
(2) the agency fails to inform the person who is to respond to
the collection of information that such person is not required
to respond to the collection of information unless it displays a
valid control number.
(b) The protection provided by this section may be raised in the form of
a complete defense, bar, or otherwise at any time during the agency
administrative process or judicial action applicable thereto.
We can come to agreement that the intent and purpose of this law is commendable and was long needed to aid and protect the public from "bootleg" or "outlaw" forms that a myriad of federal agencies send out. There are always challenges to every law that often are necessary to clarify the intent and purpose of laws. So it is no surprise to find that this law has had court cases that have gone to various appeal courts and the Supreme Court of the US.
Lindsey K. Springer is recognized expert in this field of study regarding the Paperwork Reduction Act, hereinafter PRA. He is in the process of litigating the factual issues that surround this law, (concerning the IRS Form 1040), that was enacted for the public protection as all laws should be. Mr. Springer is able to speak in lawyer jargon and research the necessary law and cases to litigate in "our" courts. Mr. Springer has two websites, www.penaltyprotestor.com and .org, that utilize video, audio and the written word. The one video on site is very well done and explains the intent, objectives and goals of his ministry, Bondage Breakers. That mission is essentially to eliminate the Internal Revenue Service, read that again and see the video!
Below is one issue that is presented in his Opening Brief to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, case no. 06-5123, entered on the record about Aug. 15, 2006, succinctly detailing the issues to be decided and asking for a permanent injunction against the IRS, (all should be cheering at this point, but some may wait to find out the reasons why);
3. Statement of the Issues.
The Issues in this Case are:
a. Whether the IRS Form 1040, for any year after 1980, is a request for information that is subject (and not exempt) to the Public Protection Provision, 44 U.S.C. ยง 3512? Is this Court's answer the same whether in regard to the 1980 PRA or the 1995 PRA?
The above is only one of the issues in his appeal but it is the essence of Lindsey Springer's document of 38 pages to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Mr. Springer contends that the IRS does not now nor has the IRS ever complied with the Paperwork Reduction Act, therefore the Form 1040 is not mandatory for any American to fill out. It is now public information filed in the courts and fully available via Internet at his websites.
The websites are well organized and easily read text that every American should read to fully understand the lawless actions of the IRS and Department of Justice officials over a period of 26 years which demonstrate their contempt for the Rule of Law and for the public. Anyone reading the material, that can still muster rationale thought, will be mad as hell. For those with busy schedules I suggest reading the Motion for Sanctions against the Department of Justice lawyers in Mr. Springer's Injunction case.
Justice may yet prevail in the U.S.A.

Post a CommentFiling taxes can be very confusing, as this article so correctly points out.
I work for an employer who knows that the government will bankrupt it if it refuses to withhold tax from my salary. The courts have bamboozled juries into finding people guilty of income tax evasion, but the tide is turning. I predict that it will not be long before juries begin to refuse to convict members of the tax protest movements and the idiots in Washington DC will have to get off their lazy asses and do something about the unconstitutional income tax!
