Do you earn wages?

Are you sure?

Do you know the LEGAL DEFINITION of "wages?"

26 USC is Title 26 of the United States Code (all federal laws).

Title 26 is the Internal Revenue Code (laws having to do with internal revenue).

26 USC 3121 is section 3121 of the Internal Revenue Code, which has these definitions:

26 USC 3121(a): Wages

... the term “wages” means all remuneration for employment ...

26 USC 3121(b): Employment

... the term “employment” means any service ... performed ... by an employee for the person employing him ... within the United States

26 USC 3121(e)(2): United States

The term “United States” when used in a geographical sense includes the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.

Do you live or work in Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, or American Samoa?

26 USC 3121(e)(1): State

The term “State” includes the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.

Again, do you live or work in one of these federal territories?

US Supreme Court says that whenever there is a specific definition in any law, we MUST use ONLY that definition, EVEN IF IT IS CONTRARY TO NORMAL USE of that term.

In this context, "includes" also means "excluding" anything not listed, or not of the same class of things.

IOW: Alabama and Kansas are not listed, so they are not "included" in THIS SPECIFIC definition of "United States."

This is NOT an oversight.

This deception was built into the system from the beginning.

In the 1913 Income Tax statute, the term "United States" meant Alaska, Porto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Philippine Islands.

Alaska became a federal territory in 1912. Porto Rico, Guam and Philippine Islands became territories as a result of the Spanish-American War. The Philippines was given independence, and Porto Rico's name was changed to Puerto Rico.

When Hawaii became a territory, it was added. When Alaska and Hawaii became States, they were removed.

At NO TIME has any State been listed as part of "United States" when it comes to the income tax, estate and gift tax, or employment tax laws.

That is because the federal government has NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY to tax the People of the 50 States ... DIRECTLY.

So, they MUST give "outs." But they use deception to try to convince you otherwise.

Do you happen to own a "trade or business?"

Are you sure?

What is the definition of "trade or business?"

26 USC 7701(a)(26):

The term “trade or business” includes the performance of the functions of a public office.

Do you perform the functions of a public office, such as federal judge or member of Congress?

The regulations to enforce the Income Tax laws have changed over the years, and going back to see what they used to say is very interesting.

"Gross Income" is what it all starts with, as far as the IRS is concerned.

26 USC 61: Gross Income Defined

Gross income means all income, from whatever source derived ... blah blah blah.

But the REGULATIONS to enforce that is at 26 CFR 1.61-1:

Gross income means all income, from whatever source derived, unless excluded by law.

What does "excluded by law" mean?

Excluded by WHAT law?

The SAME section, going back to 1939 said:

Gross income means all income, from whatever source derived, unless excluded by fundamental law or otherwise not taxed.

They removed "fundamental law" and "or otherwise not taxed."

Why?

What does THAT mean?

Well, the 1939 code ALSO said:

No other items may be excluded from gross income except (a) those items of income which are, under the Constitution, not taxable by the Federal Government ...

"Fundamental law" MEANS the Constitution.

Congress was granted the power to tax INCOME, not "gross income" or "taxable income," and the US Supreme Court ruled that the 16th Amendment did NOT grant Congress any NEW power of taxation, as that power always existed.

The 16th Amendment was just to close a loophole that a previous SCOTUS ruling had created.

But it was written in a way to deceive.

And is enforced today in a way to deceive.

And yet ...

"Voluntary compliance."

Seems like an oxymoron, no?

No, because you CAN volunteer ... or not. But if you DO volunteer, then you MUST comply with the rules.

Imagine setting up an IRA (Individual Retirement Account).

You don't HAVE TO do it. But you CAN volunteer to do it.

IF you choose to do it, then you MUST follow the rules.

You cannot withdraw money early without paying a tax penalty, for example.

That is how the system is set up.

You don't HAVE to choose to take a federal government job or engage in any federal privileged activity.

But if you CHOOSE to do so, then you must comply with the rules.

If you happen to live in a federal territory, then you have no choice, because Congress has EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION to create ANY law it wants in those territories, per the Constitution (Art 1, Sec 8, Clause 17 and Art 4, Sec 3, Clause 2).

What Congress has actually done is to create a tax law that is NOT part of their "enumerated powers" in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1-16, but instead created a tax that is under Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2, which ONLY APPLIES TO FEDERAL TERRITORIES ... and they use deception so the IRS can ASSUME that you live in the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA and must pay the tax.

But if you do NOT live THERE (and do not engage in other federal privileged activity), then it does NOT apply to YOU.
