Public bailout, long overdue, revealed!
By Jeff Maehr
The bailout mania is sucking more and more companies along, zombie-like, with their hands out for money that simply doesn't exist. The bailouts are unconstitutional, and fraud on the American public, and it voids ANY liability they might try to hold the American public to. This public bailout can only come if we take the right steps and understand the economic problems.

Economics 101 - Finances and Bailout wake up call.
The bailout mania is sucking more and more companies along, zombie-like, with their hands out for money that simply doesn't exist. The bailouts are unconstitutional, and fraud on the American public, and it voids ANY liability they might try to hold the American public to. This public bailout can only come if we take the right steps and understand the economic problems.
The government corporate bailouts are a contract and bill Americans did NOT agree to... we have no representation for these bailouts, we signed no contract and we are not legally liable for the debt, and all Americans can tell the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, Henry Paulson, et al., who are involved with this scheme that "we simply will NOT pay one red cent on ANY of these bailouts."
The so-called "taxpayer" burden... paying for these bailouts... is bogus. Think for a minute... If the government has been spending trillions of dollars over these last 8 years, and plans to spend more for greater bailouts, WHERE DOES THIS MONEY COME FROM? It does NOT come from your taxes, not even one red cent. Did American's suddenly have a large tax increase to pay the trillion dollars for the Iraq war, or the 7-8 trillion in bailouts which the corporate greed black hole will consume? NO!
The so-called "bailout" from the government and the Federal Reserve (private banking corporation) going to the corporate industrial machine and banks, are based on ONE thing only... the future ability of all Americans, adult and children, for generations to come, to work and pay for these future debts, along with all assets all Americans hold, and even America herself.
In other words, "We, the People," our labor and all we own, and all America's lands and assets are the collateral on these bailouts, and they are willingly doing this to us all. Obama even assured his corporate buddies on prime time CNN TV last week that he would “uphold the public's commitment to these bailouts.” Public commitment? Did YOU commit to these bailouts?
All representatives in government... all Congress... voting and supporting these "bailouts," the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department... are those who are legally and financially liable for these bailouts. It is THEY who collectively hold the note on all this debt. Creating the bailout debt against our will is fraud at best.
The bailout money does not exist. It is being printed out of thin air. It is all based on a future financial collateralized "ball and chain" debt around the necks of every man, woman and child in America... and our children's children. The news media talks about how the "taxpayer" is being burdened with this debt, but this money simply does not exist as yet. You and your future are being sold out, and sold off.
Get rid of the Federal Reserve and banks who "loan" money that doesn't exist and charge you interest on it, and get back to Constitutional money. (Ron Paul - http://www.campaignforliberty.com - has been spot on for years on all these troubles we have now). The Congress/Treasury Department can legally provide interest-free loans to all Americans for mortgages, cars, education, etc., and do so without raising the national debt or have ANY interest which we now pay to a greedy corrupt banking cartel which prints the money out of thin air, charges us interest on it for our mortgages, credit cards loans, etc., and has only one goal in existence... that of sucking the financial life-blood out of most Americans, and make themselves richer.
Now for the public bailout plan:
The government is not listening to the vast majority of the American people. Corporate greed is not listening. They are lining their pockets with our future. So... here is the public bailout plan: as an individual, private citizen, Just say no to filing any tax forms, or paying any income taxes. Hear me out... This will legally put billions back into the economy and show this corrupt and lawless government who is in charge.
The so-called "income" tax is being applied against most average Americans unconstitutionally and illegally anyway. Do you even know what legal "income" is? Have you ever read the legal definition of income? Don't presume to know because that is what got us into all this to begin with.
Do you know where the law is that makes you personally "liable" for this "income" tax? The IRS (with Congressional backing) has such an excellent smoke and mirrors dog and pony show they have been using to obfuscate, distort and deceive the public about the laws. This "show" distracts us from seeing what is actually happening behind that curtain, and to keep people focused on the lie and not the actual reality.
No law exists making you a "taxpayer," and "income" is NOT your wages, salary or compensation. The scam has been working out of gross ignorance in this country, and out of threats, collusion, fraud and complete corruption by government agencies and others... all because "We the People" simply do not know what the law says, or the simple definitions of such things as "income."
Think you aren't being fleeced? Think you couldn't be defrauded? Hard to believe this could be going on for many decades without anyone knowing about it? Do you KNOW... have you PROVEN... you owe taxes on your wages? Do you KNOW what "income" is, as the courts have defined it? Are you willing to sell your life down the river, along with your family, your neighbor and your country by allowing these liars and deceivers to continue to steal your money?
JUST SAY NO! NO to these bailouts and NO to ANY MORE TAXES until the government answers the People's Redress of Grievance on these issues... (see http://www.wethepeoplefoundation.org/, which brought these questions to the Supreme Court, and the court unconstitutionally refused to look at the evidence, for obvious reasons). YOU are not a "taxpayer" until you are proven to be one according to the Constitution, the Rule of Law and the courts: (Emphasis in all quotes mine throughout)...
"The revenue laws are a code or system in regulation of tax assessment and collection. They relate to taxpayers and not to non taxpayers. The latter are without their scope. No procedure is prescribed for non taxpayers and no attempt is made to annul any of their rights and remedies in due course of law. With them Congress does not assume to deal, and they are neither of the subject nor of the object of the revenue laws. Persons who are not taxpayers are not within the system and can obtain no benefit by following the procedures prescribed for taxpayers... The distinction between persons and things within the scope of the revenue laws and those without is vital." Long v. Rasmussen, 281 F. 236 (1922) stated at 238: (Also referenced in United States Court of Claims, Economy Plumbing and Heating v. United States, 470 Fwd 585, at 589 (1972))."
Where is the law that makes YOU personally "liable" for "income" taxes? "Conventional wisdom? That's not a law. "Everyone 'knows' we have to pay taxes?" In the past, everyone "knew" the earth was flat, too. Did that make it so? How do you KNOW you are NOT a non taxpayer by law? Have you proven you actually owe such taxes? Do you really have Constitutional "income" which the government can legally and constitutionally claim?
JUST SAY NO to income taxes! Give yourself an immediate LEGAL bailout by refusing to be extorted through income taxation. Take back your power and authority by giving yourself a bailout... believe me, the government won't give you one.
The American people are the rulers in America, not a sick bloated bureaucracy that is taking our 50 states down the road to destruction through violating countless laws, and our Constitution, the supreme law of the land.
Need proof, or are you content to keep spending your future and your children's future down a rat hole? Do you like being an economic slave... like being lied to, and manipulated to feed the greed of corporate and government corruption that seeks something for nothing and makes YOU pay for this greed? JUST SAY NO to income taxes! The government doesn't need them to function constitutionally anyway, and not one penny of all income taxes collected from ALL Americans today goes to pay for one service in America, not to mention any "bailouts." (Google the government's own "Grace Commission Report" for proof of this) All the "income" tax goes to pay the interest on a debt that is artificially created by government (so they can spend all they want without raising taxes or eyebrows and possibly getting people to realize the fraud and economic black hole they were creating), and banks, for extraction of money and to keep you from gaining any wealth or truly getting ahead in life. Public, individual wealth is a threat to power and control over the masses. They have most of us right where they want us... always financially struggling, or broke, and never able to get ahead.
Think the illegal tax issue is just conspiracy? Read on...
"Let me point this out now. Your income tax is 100 percent voluntary tax, and your liquor tax is 100 percent enforced tax. Now the situation is as different as day and night. Consequently, your same rules just will not apply." Testimony of Dwight E. Avis, Head of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, before the House Ways and Means committee on Restructuring the IRS (83rd Congress, 1953).
Alcohol, tobacco and firearm taxes are forms of legal excise taxes that must be paid, and the IR Code clearly states who is made liable for these taxes. Income taxes are not legally being applied, nor does the code clearly make most private Americans liable.
Any American can "volunteer" to pay money to the government from their own labor and efforts, and this is why the IRS does NOT send us a bill based on what is reported to them. That is too blatantly unconstitutional for them to risk doing. They let us "voluntarily" fill out and sign the 1040 form, under penalty of perjury, (and possible self-incrimination under the 5th Amendment)... our own self-assessment of what we think we "owe" based on what we are told. You know, our "fair share." Isn't that nice of them?
If it were truly a law, and was Constitutional, they could easily send us all a bill like every other legitimate company we receive services from does. After all, they have all the "income" records from all employers, right? Those companies write off every penny of wages paid to people, so the IRS can know full well what someone is making.
So why do they say it is "voluntary," but also "required?" Because that way they avoid this unconstitutional taxing scheme by forcing us to tax ourselves, (even though it is still unconstitutional, but they don't care because no one is watching THAT unconstitutionality) and allow us to assess ourselves and voluntarily pay them, all the while trying to make us believe it is illegal to not do this self-assessment.
"The IRS's primary task is to collect taxes under a voluntary compliance system." Jerome Kurtz, IRS Commissioner.
"Our tax system is based on individual self assessment and voluntary compliance." Mortimer Caplin, IRS Commissioner. Internal Revenue Audit Manual (1975).
"The income tax system is based upon voluntary compliance, not distraint." (Not through force) United States Supreme Court, Flora v. United States, 362 US 145. Helvering v Mitchell, 303 U.S. 391, 399, 82 L ed 917, 921.
"The tax system is based on voluntary compliance..." 26 CFR 601.602
What does "voluntary" legally mean?
Voluntary: 1) given freely without compulsion, 2) having the power of free choice.
Voluntary: 1 a: proceeding from one's own free choice or consent rather than as the result of duress, coercion, or deception b: not compelled by law: done as a matter of choice or agreement. Webster's Dictionary.
"Only the rare taxpayer would be likely to know that he could refuse to produce his records to IRS agents... Who would believe the ironic truth that the cooperative taxpayer fares much worse than the individual who relies upon his constitutional rights." Judge Cummings, U.S. Federal Judge, in US. v. Dickerson (7th Circuit 1969).
There are many hundreds of documents with testimony and case laws which address this issue. Ask your accountant or tax attorney, or any so-called "tax expert," where the law is stated that you, personally, are a "taxpayer" and where the law is that makes you personally "liable" for these taxes. Also ask them for the legal definition of "income"(*1), and where you can read that definition. They likely won't be able to give it to you. So, why are you still paying these unconstitutional taxes?
If you received a bill from the IRS demanding a $2000 tax on the alcohol or tobacco they are presuming you make or grow, would you simply give it to them even though you KNOW you don’t produce either? Would you assume that they must be right," or would you challenge their presumption?
JUST SAY NO to income taxes!
Here's what you need to do to take back your money and your power:
1. Get rid of the withholding of any taxes by your employer... it is voluntary, not required by law and your employer cannot force this. Just read the tax withholding laws, (http://law.justia.com/us/cfr/title26/26-15.0.1.1.1.5.15.64.html) and go to http://www.svpvril.com/pdffiles/Withholding_Taxes.pdf for more information. Google "stop withholding" for many sources for this information. It is legal as you will learn by the IRS' own code and laws. Notice in part...
26 C.F.R. 3402(p)-1(b) Voluntary withholding agreements
(b) ... an employee who desires to enter into an agreement under section 3402
(p) ... shall furnish his employer with Form W-4.
The furnishing of such Form W-4 shall constitute a request for withholding...
26 C.F.R. 31.3402(p)-1(b)(2):
"...An agreement under Section 3402(p) shall be effective for such period as the employer and the employee mutually agree upon. However, either the employer or the employee may TERMINATE the agreement prior to the end of such period by furnishing a signed written notice to the other...."
If it were a "law," why would the employer seek to terminate the agreement? Perhaps because they are sick and tired of being told they HAVE to be collection agents for the IRS for every employee, and having to pay someone to perform this unnecessary task??? If it were a "law," why does it say the employee can terminate this withholding at any time? The government simply makes interest on your money which you don't owe, some of which they later refund back to you when you file a "return." Neat scam isn't it?
(Keep in mind that if you plan to continue to "voluntarily" pay "income" taxes every year, and you self-assess yourself, you will have to come up with the tax which wasn't withheld but that you swear you owe if you don't have it withheld).
2. Send a letter to the IRS requesting specific tax information. (See example below). You have the right and DUTY to know the law, and to stand on it, and to require it from those who supposedly know the law...
"Persons dealing with the government are charged with knowing government statutes and regulations, and they assume the risk that government agents may exceed their authority and provide misinformation." Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Lavin v Marsh, 644 f.2D 1378, (1981).
"All persons in the United States are chargeable with knowledge of the Statutes at Large... It is well established that anyone who deals with the government assumes the risk that the agent acting in the government's behalf has exceeded the bounds of his authority." Bollow v. Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, 650 F.2d 1093, 9th Cir., (1981).
"Whatever the form in which the government functions, anyone entering into an arrangement with the government takes the risk of having accurately ascertained that he who purports to act for the government stays within the bounds of his authority, even though the agent himself may be unaware of limitations upon his authority." The United States Supreme Court, Federal Crop Ins. Corp, v. Merrill, 332 US 380 388 {1947).
The government is relying on public ignorance of law, and blind trust of their authority and understanding of the laws. This is a gross mistake on our part, and we need to be responsible and act directly to correct them and their perverted practices and beliefs.
Sample letter to IRS:
IRS (address your regional disclosure office - addresses at http://www.irs.gov/foia/article/0,,id=120681,00.html)
I understand that the government has the right to tax citizens, but this is only according to law and the Constitution. I have received conflicting information regarding my personal liability to file the 1040 form and pay the so-called "income" tax, and have information that I have been mislead on taxation requirements for filing the income tax 1040 forms in the past. I am requesting, in good faith, and under the Freedom of Information Act, the following documentation, or direction where I will locate these documents, so I may comply with constitutional and legal tax laws I may be liable for. I have not received such information from tax consultants and Attorney's to date, or on the IRS web site. I am depending on IRS compliance with its own manual:
1.2.1.6.4 (Approved 03 14 1991) P 6 12
1. Timeliness and Quality of Taxpayer Correspondence: The Service will issue quality responses to all taxpayer correspondence.
2. Taxpayer correspondence is defined as all written communication from a taxpayer or his/her representative, excluding tax returns, whether solicited or unsolicited. This includes taxpayer requests for information, as well as that which may accompany a tax return; responses to IRS requests for information; and annotated notice responses.
3. A quality response is timely, accurate, professional in tone, responsive to taxpayer needs (i.e., resolves all issues without further contact).
Request for information:
a. Please provide me the section of the Internal Revenue Code where it makes me, a private citizen, personally liable for income taxes.
b. Please provide me documentation for a legal definition of "income" so that I may comply with the lawful duty to file on any legal "income" I may have. (*1). This is NOT a request for "Section 61 - Gross income defined," but for the legal definition of the word "income" as used in section 61.
c. Please provide documentation on what type of tax "income" tax is... direct or indirect, or some other form of tax, and how the IRS complies with the Constitutional forms of taxation in its application of "income" tax laws.
d. Please provide documentation on IRS compliance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) laws regarding the 1040 form. (*2)
Please do not send me form letters, or documents with hearsay testimony, or lower court case law that does not specifically answer these issues.
Based on the present evidence (see attached), I believe I am no longer required to file any 1040 form, (except where doing so is necessary for a refund of taxes paid), or pay the so-called "income" tax. I also rescind my signature on any and all documents previously submitted regarding income taxes under the false presumption that I was legally required to do so, and rescind any suggestion that having ever signed such 1040 forms or documents constitutes any agreement or prima facie evidence that it was a lawful, Constitutional requirement to do so. I no longer believe that is the case as evidenced herein.
I look forward to your response so that I may better understand tax laws and IRS requirements under the Constitution and laws of the land, and to fully comply with them.
Sincerely...
Your name and address and SSN (so they can add it to your file)

Sources for your information referenced in the sample letter...
*1. (See http://www.thematrixhasyou.org/PDF/what-is-income.pdf and http://www.givemeliberty.org/NoRedress/STOP/StmtOfBeliefs3-09-03.PDF for details on the truth they don't want you to know about what "income" is, and other highly relevant facts involved).
*2. (See http://www.thematrixhasyou.org/affidavit-updated/attachment-d-u.html for information on the "bootleg" 1040 form and how it is in violation of OMB law and is NOT required to be filed as is).
3. If you have already paid into the IRS and had money deducted over the year, you will need to file a proper return to get that refund and ALL the rest of the money they try to say you owe. (You can even do this for the past 3 years as well and get ALL your money back). This will take some reading, but many people are doing this. Just go to http://www.losthorizons.com/ for explanation and sources for the actual procedure to legally get all your money back through the 1040 form and laws. Then you can keep all the money, and never file another 1040 form again... unless you actually ever have "income" that is legally taxable under the law and Constitution.
You may want to copy your Congressional representatives with the above letter to further expand your efforts to obtain the information and show your good faith efforts to understand the laws. You can also print out the statement of beliefs and "what is income" documents and any other documents you think you want to NOTICE them on, or burn them to a cd disc with your name, address and SSN on it. Be sure to request the IRS to add this material to your Individual Master File (IMF) as further evidence against them.
Your Congressional representatives are legally required to investigate any possible illegal activity they are made aware of, so, in your letter to them, ask them to investigate what you believe to be illegal and unconstitutional activity by the IRS and others, and ask them to research the material you provide. If they do not do so, they can be sued in a group suit under Private Attorney General laws, or Grand Jury investigation, for Racketeering and complicity in illegal activities.
Doing all this provides evidence that you no longer believe that you are required to file 1040 income tax forms until they can provide you with the actual evidence in fact that you are. "Willful failure to file" charges are destroyed when you have evidence that you honestly believe there is no requirement to file, and you have the legal evidence to support such a belief. (Of course, you would ONLY do this when you understand the laws, and truly know and believe that you are not liable and that there is fraud taking place. If you do not believe this, and cannot give an answer if challenged, you are looking to fail in your position).
With that simple letter and educating yourself on the actual tax code, Constitution and case laws on taxation, (VERY IMPORTANT http://www.thematrixhasyou.org/no-tax.html) you will suddenly discover your power to give yourself a "bailout" right out of the scam that government and banks have perpetrated since 1913, and have a defense of actual laws, along with millions of others, your peers, who challenge the corruption and fraud, by withholding their money as we all lawfully have the right and authority to do, and to demand answers, and to bring lawsuits (it isn't nearly as hard as you might think) against these individuals, which is occurring at a greater rate by the day:
"The privilege of giving or withholding our money is an important barrier against the undue exertion of prerogative which if left altogether without control may be exercised to our great oppression; and all history shows how efficacious its intercession for redress of grievances and reestablishment of rights, and how important would be the surrender of so powerful a mediator." Thomas Jefferson: Reply to Lord North, 1775, Papers 1:225.
"If money is wanted by rulers who have in any manner oppressed the People, they may retain it until their grievances are redressed, and thus peaceably procure relief, without trusting to despised petitions or disturbing the public tranquility." Continental Congress To The Inhabitants Of The Province Of Quebec. Journals of the Continental Congress. 1774, 1789. Journals 1: 105 13.
Unless you, personally, stand up for the law and Constitution, you will never be free again. It takes knowledge of the laws and facts, and courage to stand against the school yard bullies, once and for all. We have countless laws and court rulings to support our collective stand. Join with the spirit of our Founding Father's and Mothers and take back our country and finances from thieves who have usurped their power from us and created illusions under the color of law:
"The people themselves have it in their power effectually to resist usurpation, without being driven to an appeal in arms. An act of usurpation is not obligatory: It is not law; and any man may be justified in his resistance. Let him be considered as a criminal by the general government; yet only his fellow citizens can convict him. They are his jury, and if they pronounce him innocent, not all powers of congress can hurt him; and innocent they certainly will pronounce him, if the supposed law he resisted was an act of usurpation." See: 2 Elliot's Debates, 94; 2 Bancroft, History of the Constitution, 267.
Only when we ALL stand up together against these traitors, and JUST SAY NO to illegal, unconstitutional and fraudulent practices, will any of us get out of the financial black hole that is enveloping our country and lives. We MUST get our government back to sound money practices and away from theft and collusion, away from removing our freedoms and liberties, and away from fake money and debt dependent on future generation's labor and assets to repay.
It is ALL fraud, so JUST SAY NO TO TAXES ... and educate yourself on the true laws of the land and feel the power and authority of "We the People" return to America. Your future depends on this!
(I am not an attorney nor am I giving legal advise. If you trust legal advise of "the man," I suggest you obtain it and take your risks. This is opinion based on the law I read, the Constitution I read and the court cases I read, so there!)
