Fundamentals #5

Why did our forefathers come to this new land in the first place?  Forget for a moment all the trappings of mind control on your TV.  Forget the monuments and trappings of power over you for just this brief moment in history.
Why did those that came before us leave the comfort of their known homes and come across the vast ocean to seek liberty.  It was because of bondage by some form of despotism.  Their production wasn’t theirs to do with as they saw fit.  The revered Knights of the Round Table and the sacred Samurai were the toughest among them.  They were the TAX collectors.  The Knights met their demise because of the long bow that penetrated their Armour and left them in the mud.  The samurai met their demise at the end of a cannon.
This was to be a land where your production was yours.  How many of you know that there is a clause in our constitution that prevents our government from taking our production?  What makes us different from every other place on planet EIarth?  Liberty and the protection it affords your property.  Your property is whatever the fruits of your labor bring to you.  If your property can be taken for any one elses idea of utopia but yours, then you are once again living in bondage.
Try understanding this:  You toil all day to fill a wheel barrel full of coal for your family and yourself.  On your way out, a man comes up and takes all but enough for you to maintain the basics of life.  Are you free, or are you now a slave to someone else?  YOU’RE A SLAVE!  Turn your wheel barrel into a pay check, and you begin to get the picture.  Now, if you want to sell some of your coal then those that you have selected to keep the mine going can put a markup on it that is paid by the consumer–not you!
Here is how we told the Seat of the Government of the United States it could raise a limited amount of money to perform its limited duties for the States:  (prior to the “Victory Act” of 1942, this particular government raised the vast majority of its income on Tariffs)

"Section 8
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and
Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general
Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be
uniform throughout the United States;"

It should read, "To collect taxes by charging duties on imports and exports."

impost

IM’POST, n. [L. impositum, impono.]

excise

EXCI’SE, n. s as z. [L. excisum, cut off, from excido.]

An inland duty or impost, laid on commodities consumed, or on the retail, which is the last state before consumption; as an excise on coffee, soap, candles, which a person consumes in his family. But many articles are excised at the manufactories, as spirit at the distillery, printed silks and linens at the printer’s, &c.

EXCI’SE, v.t. s as z. To lay or impose a duty on articles consumed, or in the hands of merchants, manufacturers and retailers; to levy an excise on.

As you can see, these taxes are on inanimate objects, not on your production.  

Section 8:
"To borrow money on the credit of the United States;..."

This is the banker’s clause.  This is like giving your teenage son whiskey and the keys to your car on Saturday night.  If we the people don’t want to fund some off the wall program, the government can borrow the money, at interest, and do it anyway.  This is putting our children in debt before they even get started.  We need to put stipulations on both of these clauses–limits.

Here is the very definition of this new land.  This is what we forbade the government, any government, from doing.

Article I section 9
“No capitation, or other direct, Taxshal; be laid…”

capitation

CAPITATION, n.

We are either free or we are chosing to live in bondage where our production isn’t our own.  No, the XVI amendment did not alter this clause.
What led to this heavy and escalating income tax was the “Victory Act” of 1942.  The income tax comes right out of the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx in 1848.

Next, the meat and potato(e)s of our U.S. Constitution

“…God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.  The people cannot be all, and always, well informed.  The part, which is wrong, will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive.  If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. …and what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that the people preserve the spirit of resistance?  Let them take arms.  The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them.  What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?   The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.  It is its natural manure.”

Thomas Jefferson, Nov. 13, 1787, letter to William S. Smith, see Jefferson On Democracy, 20 (S. Padover ed. 1939).

Why twenty years?  It’s because the creeps haven’t had time to completely infest our government in twenty years and we don’t have to burn down the entire house to rid ourselves of them.  There are creeps among us, and they want power.

You don’t think about having power over your fellow man like these power seekers we elect to office.  They spend their entire life getting into a position of power.  Once they gain that power, they want to use it.  Our Bill of Rights ends at the border.  The ultimate power for power seekers is murder with impunity.  Governments are the ultimate mass murderers with over 150,000,000 deaths attributed to them in this century alone.

This is what we are dealing with, never forget that.  A government will never relinquish its power willingly–we have to taken it.  Stay home Mr. Propitiation, your time is ended.  Never forget that you are supposed to be dangerous.  Here in our republic, this government is supposed to be afraid of abusing the Citizens.  It is the reason we have arms.

In Liberty,
