IRS's Dirty Secret -- Income Tax is Voluntary!

February 3, 2012

IRS taxation is a voluntary contract between consenting parties and cannot be compelled. Since we don't know this, they trick us into "consenting."

"Taxation by Misrepresentation"
, an E-book by John W. Benson,  is by far the best explanation of our income tax system and the laws involved in compelling citizens to pay income tax.

All IRS processes and procedures are based on the revenue procedures employed by the king's revenue officials in the Exchequer (Treasury) in 1791, dressed up in modern garb.

A precedent-setting Supreme Court tax case in 1856 cited several English treatises as authorities on the ancient processes used by the king's Exchequer.

Essentially, the statute staple process is a voluntary contractual process used in merchant law and not common law. The result is that IRS taxation is a voluntary contractual process between consenting parties and cannot be compelled on an individual.

Much of the IRS code and procedures are designed to both conform to this fact, while insidiously hiding its significance from the populace, and doing everything in their power to intimidate tax payers to "volunteer" payment, even if at gunpoint.

In other words, if you are a 14th Amendment "citizen", you are a serf on the land, a liege to your lord, in this case the Federal Government.

The Federal Government, as it would to a serf, "owns" your labor and can rightfully take your income now (the compensation for your labor) as it deems reasonable according to the contractual benefits you "applied for" when you "volunteer" or "contract" yourself into this status.

Remember that under the Constitution, we have unalienable rights and are Citizens (cap "C") of the United States of America (the country, not the corporation).

How do you "volunteer" yourself to become a 14th Amendment citizen-serf, under the definition designed for freed slaves?

Well, by "voluntarily" submitting your IRS Form 1040, you annually assert that you are a 14th Amendment citizen (small "c"). The 13th amendment prohibits involuntary servitude, but does not prohibit "voluntary" servitude according to contract law. 

Ergo, you have been had. This is less the Home of the Free and Land of the Brave, than the Home of Fools and the Land of Liars.

So, what do you do now?

John points out in very clear terms in his "Disclaimer" at the very opening of his book that this is a political battle. Do NOT stop filing the usual tax returns and paying the usual taxes that the IRS and the courts require.

This would be like going to a Mafia crime boss and telling him there's no law allowing him to extract his "security" payments. You will not come out better for the conversation. But realize that we have become a nation of thugs and corruption, and not laws, despite your education to the contrary. John pleads with his readers to unite to overturn the entire system and replace it with a fairer and more transparent tax system for all, rather than for a small number to try to win a few battles in courts that, in his view, are simply not going to allow any victories, truth and justice be damned.

Smart. I have followed this issue my entire life (now 59). There are a lot of reasons this is an illegal tax but laws do not matter to the PTB. Anyone challenging in court will lose, and suffer.

Thank you for a sensible article on this subject. The disclaimer is absolutely right but usually missing from discussions about individual rights. I see many, many articles and comments on the internet "proving" that we are free or that the government "cannot" do this or that, based on obscure laws and history. All law is simply a smokescreen to impute divine legitimacy to what is in essence organized crime. All governments have an army and a police force an if you do not go along with the program you will be shot. Period.


Doug said (February 4, 2012):

The trick is in representation - represent does not mean "act in your interest". Once you are represented you change from being a natural person in the flesh to being a surety to the phoney debt. Attorneys represent people, so do politicians. Its a legal maxim that debtors have no rights - hence the "legal" system. The legal system is for debtors and they have no rights and are assumed guilty until proven innocent - notice people are charged with crimes rather than merely accused - as one would expect in a free society (innocent until proven guilty). Its all a consequence of the 1933 bankruptcies that happened to us, USA, England- all "Western" countries.

There are lots of people talking about this in what is known as the "freeman" movement. Much of their thinking is undisciplined so you have to be careful, but if you see or hear enough noise it tends to average out to a very obvious truth based on Maxims of law and contract. Very simple once you can wrap your mind around it.


Nassim, South Africa said (February 4, 2012):

Is there a law in the USA which makes the paying of taxes compulsory? I believe not. The Federal government will claim the 16th amendment gives it a right to collect taxes, and the supreme court will endorse this view. What else is one to conclude, they passed a law allowing the US Government to arrest and imprison US citizens without trial and without any charges being brought against them. That violates many aspects of the Constitution.

This is made possible because the US adopts the position that the war on terror is a WAR and not a police operation, which it actually is. There is no declaration of war on any state and no state has declared war against it. Any country that declares war against criminals is not at war, but has declared its intention to use its police effectively against a particular crime or set of criminals.

However, during WAR, effectively the Constitution is suspended, a state of emergency prevails even if not declared since the military has the power to do as it pleases,but it uses this freedom to pass laws which keeps up the illusion of a nation under civilian rule. You cannot be at war and have civilian rule at the same time.

A coup has taken place and the US is already under military dictatorship.

There is no possibility of a civilian process making the point that taxes need not be paid.

The only way this is going to happen is if the people overthrow the military by force and restore civilian rule and the rule of law (which actually does not exist today because there is no supervision by the Constitution since it is effectively suspended. There is now carte blanche power to make any law and impose tit. This is tyranny and not "rule of law"). Any civil process to avoid paying taxes will result in one being declared a terrorist and we will never hear about you again.


Clifford Shack said (February 4, 2012):

The concept of voluntary servitude originates in the Old Testament. The voluntary slave was called the "eved ivri" which means simply, "Hebrew slave."

Crypto-Jews that had entered England apparently introduced the idea of contractual, voluntary servitude to the English monarchy which they may have infiltrated a very long time ago.

These ancient taxation schemes, in one form or another, reached the New World in the wake of the Virginia Company of London's colonial ambitions.

According to some researchers, the Virginia Company never disappeared as is still contractually...our master.

If you look carefully at the seal of the Virginia Company you will see it bears lions upon it. These are lions of Judah. You will also notice a harp. This is the harp of David. From the very beginning
the New World was created by crypto-Davidians. The big cat is out of the bag.
