Abolish the 16th Amendment and return power to the people

Both Democrat and Republican parties have supported an ever expanding federal government and the income tax has given them the power to control us. The only difference between parties is the degree to which they want to build a stronger central  government.  Election 2008 election was the choice of soft tyranny or hard tyranny, and you can pick the candidate represented hard tyranny.

I asked a number of poeple at the tea party why they were there. The overriding message I heard from worried grandmothers and grandfathers at the tea parties was they were afraid of their government. They fear government will deny their children and grandchildren freedom from a government controlled future. The tea parties want to send a message to government and both political parties: It’s time for real change.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.…  Thomas Jefferson

Money is power and American citizens have surrendered our money and liberty to an all powerful government that does not hesitate to  use our income tax money to control behavior. If citizens want to take back control of an out of control federal government and make government fear the people, we must take the source of their power:  money.

Next time you hold your paycheck look at the gross amount of that check. If the 16th amendment to the constitution is repealed, that money we surrender to government would be yours again. If you really want to take back your freedom, the first place to start is with the 16th amendment.

Amendment XVI.

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.

(Wikkipedia : Sixteenth Amendment (1913): Authorizes unapportioned. ) Wikipedia chronicles the history of the income tax

In 1848, Karl Marx wrote the communist manifesto to descrbe the perfect socialist government. If you want to read all ten, read the link at the top of this page, Communism. Karl Marx, author of the Communist Manifesto. Notice how close we have come to achieving them in America. The second plank of the manisfesto described taxes. To build the socialist state, we need:

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State “income” taxes. We call it “paying your fair share”.

Who else supports abolishing the 16th amendment?

Judge Andrew Napolatono hosts a program called Freedom Watch where he conducts a sophisticated discussion on our national problem with an out of control government. Crisis is a friend of the state and the statist.

    We certainly need to have physical rallies of patriotic Americans, viz., Americans loyal to the principles of governance set forth for us by our Founding Fathers! There is a limit however on how many of the aforementioned can meet up at a particular place and time. If the participants are mostly representative of the group sponsoring the rally (and the number of patriotic groups out there is mind boggling) that is also a participation limiting factor. Another is the fact that many of a group’s membership simply do not have the time and/or money to get to the rally.

    What if we could unite all of these groups to participate in a single campaign or project that unites all of their numbers plus individual Patriots who are not in Groups? And do so without distracting any group from their main focus? There is only one way. We design a campaign where anyone with access to the Web can participate without leaving the comfort of their home. Many millions could be rallied to participate in such a campaign, adding to those who have physical rallies.

    Such a campaign has been launched to keep those tea pots boiling! No group has to be joined to participate. Another group is not needed! We already have hundreds of large and small groups on the web fighting in their own ways to return our government to WE THE PEOPLE. This campaign was conceived by a relatively small activist group to allow for all to co-sponsor and co-promote it as equals! It has huge potential to generate awareness across our great land of the root of our common problems. Without wide spread awareness that there is a problem we cannot rally citizens to adopt the solutions advocated by our many patriotic groups.

    Here is the rallying point. July 12th, 2009 will mark the Centennial of the birth of the 16th amendment, a Day of Infamy! It was the first and enabling giant step toward a 180 degree turn away from the government set up by our founding fathers. Other major steps (changing how Senators were chosen and the Federal Reserve) have moved us further along but they would not have been possible without the Congress grabbing control of the personal income of Americans! With that power Congress can dictate to us rather than do what our forefathers set them up to do…REPRESENT us! One of our founding fathers predicted that the acquisition of the power allowed Congress by the 16th amendment would herald the end of our Republic. The passage of the 16th amendment to the States for ratification on that fateful date, July 12th, 1909, must have had our forefathers spinning in their graves. July 12th, 2009 has been declared a National Day of Mourning.

    Anyone can go to http://www.repealincometax.com/DOM/?T=0001fwjth and sign a “2nd Declaration of Independence”. The site suggests ways to co-promote and co-sponsor the National Day of Mourning but the Declaration and how it is used is up to each group. If we all organize our own ways of memorializing this Centennial AND invite our contacts all over the web to sign the Declaration, we could create a great shout for freedom from sea to shining sea. Having got their attention we then offer them our solutions!
