Today is July 4th, 2020 also known as Independence Day. While a favorite holiday, it must sadly be admitted that the traditions, spirit, and culture of independence in America have long since vanished. What are we independent from exactly? Government tyranny? It’d be next to impossible to make an argument as such, especially with unjust and draconian lockdowns of commerce in place on the unsatisfactory justification of containing the spread of COVID-19. Certainly, nobody can legitimately argue that Americans have any independence whatsoever from the IRS or the unjust federal income tax, which is also not even constitutional, as will be argued and explained below – on that note, this post shall advocate the following:
-The repeal of the 16th Amendment of the United States Constitution
-The abolition of the Internal Revenue Services(IRS)
Extended details and reasoning follow.
To start, it is imperative to first define slavery. The Encyclopedia Britannica defines it as a condition in which one human being was owned by another. A slave was considered by law as property. The Encyclopedia Britannica then states that “There is no consensus on what a slave was or on how the institution of slavery should be defined.” This is a critical point because slavery, at least in the U.S., is rightfully associated with pre-Civil War plantation systems whereby white owners enslaved black laborers as property. However, planation systems tend to wrongly be used to define THE ESSENCE of slavery such that nothing else could be considered slavery. However, the plantation system is JUST A MANFIESTATION and example of slavery, not the core essence of it. While it may be easy to say that ownership of other human beings is the core essence of slavery, that too is not quite complete either. What is the essence of owning another human being – what does that mean? It means the ability to control and coerce another human being. Coerce is the key word because coercion is the essence of slavery, not plantation systems. Plantation systems entailed and enabled coercion, and it is that coercion which made the antebellum plantations products of slavery. Had the workers not been coerced and/or allowed to leave or exercise their rights to refuse plantation labor, then the plantation systems would not have been slavery. The same is true about the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act – had there been no enforcement of it, slavery very likely would’ve ended on its own without a bloody Civil War that destroyed half the country. Without coercion, there is no slavery. Therefore, the bottom line is, slavery is coercion at its core essence.
The 13th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution abolishes slavery and renders it illegal as it states the following: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction and that Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation”.
The 16th Amendment states “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.” What makes the 16th Amendment unconstitutional is that U.S. citizens are coerced to pay the income taxes, even if they don’t give consent to do so. By allowing Congress to coerce the U.S. citizenry through the IRS, the 16th Amendment effectively allows Congress to enslave the U.S. citizenry. This means that the 16th Amendment is in direct violation of the 13th Amendment, which makes slavery illegal, which thereby makes the 16th Amendment unconstitutional. Because the IRS is the mechanism used to enforce the slavery resulting from the 16th Amendment, the IRS too violates the 13th Amendment, and is therefore unconstitutional.
It therefore follows that neither the 16th Amendment nor the IRS should have ever been passed by Congress or approved by then U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. Furthermore, President Wilson was a racist who also failed to keep his country out of World War I by failing to heed Germany’s warning1 to prohibit Americans from boarding the Lusitania, the eventual sinking of which was the false-flag event that needlessly propelled America into the war. In addition to the IRS and 16th Amendment, the racist President Wilson also signed the Federal Reserve Act, which like the IRS and 16th Amendment, is a subtle mechanism of slavery and, therefore, also most definitely needs to be totally abolished. With the federal income tax being a product of a racist President, shouldn’t Americans be allowed to refuse to pay the racist federal income tax? Wouldn’t paying the federal income tax be racist??
In order to correct the mistakes of history, this post and author are calling for the following actions:
-The repeal of the 16th Amendment of the United States Constitution
-The abolition of the Internal Revenue Services(IRS)
