Tax Freedom - A Personal Odyssey

While reading usenet posts on alt.libertarian, I came across a thread stating that TAXES ARE YOUR MONEY.  Within this thread, I found an article which asked:  What kind of Citizen are you?  Are you a state Citizen protected by the Constitution, or are you a U.S. citizen, subject to any and all laws passed by Congress?  It listed a URL which I followed to a site which said I did not have to pay federal income tax unless I:  1) Work for the federal government, 2) Live in Washington, D.C., the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, its trust territories or possessions (the Federal Zone), or 3) Have income from a corporation chartered in the Federal Zone. 

I said to myself, "Gee, none of that applies to me, I better look into this." 

Note:  I now believe that this is inaccurate.  The IRC applies to foreigners (non-resident aliens) doing business in America, and American citizens working abroad in a country which has a tax treaty with the United States. 
 

I followed all the links I could find. 
I learned that there are not one but three legal meanings for the metaphor "United States".  I learned that there are two sets of laws depending on the "United States" to which you refer.  I learned that wages are not "income", as described in 26 CFR (the Internal Revenue Code)  I learned that the 14th Amendment and the 16th Amendment to the Constitution may not even have been Constitutionally ratified. The 14th was "approved" by the legislatures of most of the states during wartime. The 16th was "approved" on the say-so of the Secretary of State at that time, and that at least two of the states he listed as having passed the legislation, in truth did not (Illinois and Kentucky).
I even spoke to my lawyer.  He told me that he really did not have expertise on this, but gave me the number for the Virginia Lawyer's Referral Service. I asked my lawyer, and a friend who is a lawyer what they knew about the guy to whom I was referred, and they told me he was a "boob", and I would probably get only $25 dollars worth of free advise from him.  There being no real professional "expert" available, I decided that I was NOT a U.S. Citizen, and to proceed along those lines. 

Note:  It appears that a U.S. citizen is different and distinct from a citizen of the United States.  I still have no authoritative citation on whether a citizen of the United States is the same as a Citizen of the United States of America.  Until I see otherwise, I am proceeding along the lines that I am neither a
U.S. citizen nor a citizen of the United States.  Rather I am a Citizen of the United States of America, or a Citizen of the states United. 
 

Note:  The check and letter were returned with no forwarding address.
I later found 'Mitch' as Paul Andrew Mitchell at Supreme Law Library.
This is a very good site. 
 

Here is what I have to do to become a Sovereign Citizen: 

• Change my withholding statement by filing an amended or substitute W-8. 
• Rescind my Socialist Insecurity number (SIN). 
• Rescind my Birth Certificate from Kansas as it states I am a U.S. citizen.  My parents unknowingly delivered me into a government trust and collateralized me against the National Debt. 
• Rescind my voter registration as it states I am a U.S. citizen.  I will later reapply and amend the form so I do not state this status. 
• Replace my driver's license as it has my SIN attached.  I can reapply and get them to issue me one without a SIN on it. 
• File an amended W-8 with all my bank accounts, creditors, and the credit bureaus, as they have my SIN on file. 

Stop using the federal form of the address: NAME ADDRESS CITY, ST ZIPCODE

and start using my Citizen's address: Name c/o Domicile City, State united States of America non-domestic [ZIPCODE]

Note:  'Vultures' improperly tells you to declare yourself a Non-Resident Alien.  This is most definately not what you want to do.  The rest of the information is good, and I have yet to find another source for it. 
 

Note: If you are a nonresident alien individual married to a U.S. citizen or resident and have made an election under section 6013(g) or (h), you are treated as a U.S.resident and may not use form W-8. 

They were incredulous!  They asked if I was just changing my address, and I answered, No.  I told them that I realized I was not a U.S. citizen and that I was in the process of rescinding my SIN.  They said that they would not be able to re-register me without a SIN, that it was required.  I asked them to show me this law.  They had the proper statute handy and I read it to them:  "Individuals registering to vote must supply proper identification; their legal name; residence address; Social Security Number, if any; ..."  They agreed from this that a SIN was NOT required.

I also asked if I could register without marking the check box for "U.S. citizen".  They said yes, but that I would be signing the form under penalty of perjury that I was a U.S. citizen.  I showed them the text, and it said that I was swearing under oath that I am a citizen of the United States. 

I explained that I intended to change the small "c" to a large "C" in citizen, and to add the words "of America" to the oath and sign that 'Without prejudice to my inalienable rights, and reserving all of my inalienable rights, UCC 1-207, and UCC 1-103.6.'  They said that should not be a problem, and I left whistling a happy tune. 
 

• Form W-7 - Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) 
• Form 1040NR - U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return 
• Form 2555 - Foreign Earned Income 
• Instr 2555 - Instructions for Form 2555 
• Form 9465 - Installment Agreement Request 
• Publication 519 - Publication not mentioned in 1040 Forms and Instructions

More on this later. 

Note:  The crux of Subtitle A (Income tax) of Title 26 (I.R.C.) is that the only "person liable" for the tax is the "Withholding Agent" (section 1446).  Since all of the language states that the "person liable" for the tax is "required to file" a return, only a citizen who is a withholding agent is required to file a return.
Are you a withholding agent?
 

I found this great site!  This material seems to be much more complete and understandable than any other I have seen to date.  I went ahead and ordered the entire package. 

Sorry, but this link seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.  If you have information as to where it went, please email me. 

Note:  This package is well worth what I paid.  You do, however, need to customize out the references to declaring yourself a non-resident alien. 
 

I hurried to put together a substitute W-4 and some supplementary forms to send along with it.  The letter I wrote to the tax department should bear fruit. 
 

I am getting tired of writing my new form of address, and so have ordered two rubber stamps which I can use to stamp all the official mail I am going to send out next week.

I received my "benefits statement" from the Social Security Administration today.  I have been taxed over $50,000 over the last 25 years!  I will mail off the rescission of my signature on my Social Security Application and demand a refund of these monies when I send off my Declaration of Independence next Wednesday. 
 

When I got home, I found that 'Vultures in Eagles Clothing' had finally arrived!  And only 2 months after I ordered it.  It did, however, have someone's story in it whose situation is similar to mine.  The Patriot actually enlisted the help of the IRS!  I adapted the letter for my purposes, and will send a copy of this to the IRS along with a copy of the original W-8. 

Note:  This letter has never been replied to by the I.R.S.  I wonder where they bury these. 

I also wrote this letter to Mr. Siscoe and enclosed the IRS letter along with it. 
 

I took my originals over to the copy center and made:

32 of the Declaration of Sovereignty and Independence.  This will be mailed to the service list I have been accumulating.  I took two friends of mine to lunch and had them Common Law witness my signature on these.  We had a Freedom Party!

8 copies of my Social Security Application rescission and request for refund.  I sent this to 4 principles from the service list (including the two Attorneys General) as well as to Newt Gingrich (Speaker of the House), The Federal Reserve Bank, Inc., the Department of Health and Human Services, and to the Social Security Administrator.

3 copies of a notice of Revocation of signature on IRS forms filed in the past to the Local, District, and Regional IRS Directors.

4 Copies of a supporting Declaration, and an Amendment to be filed in my Individual Master File, sent to the District and Regional Directors, and to the District Disclosure Officer and to the IRS Service Center. 
 

Let me tell you about the various theories I have found. 

One thinks that this country is only free for the progeny of the original "We the People...", meaning only the White people in America.  I had to reject this, because I firmly believe that all natural born state Citizens are eligible to reclaim their birthright.  This would have to include any progeny of any immigrant group.  This same group believes we are still living under martial law from the Civil War, and that the Buck Act of 1940, just codified it.  I agree that we are living within a federal jurisdiction so long as we do not directly challenge it.   But I postulate that we can also live within the republic if we so choose. 

I have found several groups which want to withdraw from society, and build a free society in the midst of all this corruption we find ourselves in.  Although this is noble, I still think that it is still OUR right to live our lives under whatever form of government we choose.  And we do not even need everyone else to come along.  If we assert our rights under the Constitution, and demand a Constitutional jurisdiction whenever hauled into court, I think we can prevail. 

Another thinks that you "color" yourself with statutory law by registering to vote.  I discard this as every state Citizen is guaranteed not only the right to vote, but the right to vote under a republican (NOT the PARTY!) form of government.  I firmly believe that if all who could reclaim their birthright did so, and became a force to be reconned with, we could FORCE the government to allow us to live under the Constitution once again. 
 

This link took me to Save-a-Patriot.  Highly recommended.
I ordered Save-a-Patriot's Employer Termination of W-4 agreement for F$30. 
 

Also, I wanted to ensure that my credit union was appraised of this situation.  I cannot afford to lose any funds due to an improper Notice of Levy, so I wrote the President of the credit union this letter. 
 

Also, I filed this motion to treat the Registrar's answer (still forthcoming I assume) via the Commonwealth's Attorney, as "taken as confession" along with the Order for voiding the Registrar's Letter of Revocation of Voter Registration.  This means that as the Registrar has not answered my petition within the requisite 21 days (Virginia Court Rule 2:12), that they not be allowed to file any pleadings or appear, and treat this as if they do not dispute my facts.  I have already contracted a court reporter, so I will post the transcript of the trial later. 
 

I sent copies of this to Save-a-Patriot Fellowship, and within days they sent out a return salvo.
