The 23% National Sales Tax; known as the Flat Tax is Unconstitutional
The National sales tax is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
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. The Congress does not have the power to lay an Un-apportioned tax, period. A sales tax is un-apportioned and a tax on consumption, which is a reverse income tax. Is the Income tax legal? Only in the United States. What is the jurisdiction of the United States? In the USC code, the jurisdiction of the United States are: the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virigin Islands. It is not the several states known as the State ‘Republics’. A person in the USC code; IRC Chapter 75 26 U.S.C. 7343 which contain all the criminal penalties in the code.
[A]n officer or employee of a corporation, or a member or employee of a partnership, who, as such officer, employee or member, is under a duty to perform the act in respect of which the violation occurs.
An individual who is not in such a capacity is not defined as a “person” subject to criminal penalties. Unpriviledged natural persons, who do not impose the income (excise) tax upon themselves by volunteering to file returns and be liable, are not subject by law to the tax and they are not “persons” who can lawfully be subjected to criminal charges for not filing a return or not paying income tax.
A flat tax of say $500 per person is Constitutional, a direct tax on consumption is not. The money is taken out of your hands after you purchase your basic goods for survival. This is another version of the communistic graduated income tax. Do you really want the federal government to regulate every one of your personal transactions? You will need a federal ID to buy or sell. Sounds like the Real ID Act; starting three years from now, if you live or work in the United States, you’ll need a federally approved ID card to travel on an airplane, open a bank account, collect Social Security payments, or take advantage of nearly any government service. Practically speaking, your driver’s license likely will have to be reissued to meet federal standards. Remember the book of Revelations. The second beast of Revelation 13 will cause “all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (verses 16-17).
I rather keep the voluntary tax of the IRS, than the mandatory tax of a national sales tax. Atleast, I have a choice not to pay the IRS. Will the government issue me an exemption, for not being under their jurisdiction? Even if they do, I will then have to fight with every merchant to get it honored. In order to sell on the internet, I will need a national merchant ID, if I do not collect every single itty-bitty scrap of tax for the vamps;they will be breaking down my door and locking my ass up. Currently the iRS cannot do this they have to actually have to use the court system,… sometimes. A flat tax no way baby. Without ever admitting the fraud of the IrS? I like Huckabee’s idea to Terraform Mars, before a flat tax.
