[00:00.000 --> 00:01.860]  Welcome to the show.
[00:01.860 --> 00:06.740]  Isaac Asimov and Bertrand Russell have quite a number of excellent quotes, two of which
[00:06.740 --> 00:08.640]  are pertinent to today's talk.
[00:08.640 --> 00:09.840]  We'll begin with Asimov.
[00:09.840 --> 00:16.540]  Quote, there is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been.
[00:16.540 --> 00:21.380]  The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through
[00:21.380 --> 00:27.340]  our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that
[00:27.340 --> 00:30.940]  my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.
[00:30.940 --> 00:35.380]  Asimov is saying, people in the United States take a stand on issues concerning which they
[00:35.380 --> 00:41.740]  are ignorant and then assert their position, which comes from ignorance, is just as good,
[00:41.740 --> 00:47.080]  just as valid, as a contradictory position stated by a person who has actual knowledge
[00:47.080 --> 00:48.080]  of the subject.
[00:48.080 --> 00:54.540]  I'd like you to take a moment and consider whether you agree with Asimov.
[00:54.540 --> 00:55.540]  Do you?
[00:55.540 --> 00:59.060]  Now to Bertrand Russell's quote, which reads as follows.
[00:59.060 --> 01:06.140]  The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly
[01:06.140 --> 01:07.140]  absurd.
[01:07.140 --> 01:13.400]  Indeed, in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely
[01:13.400 --> 01:16.500]  to be foolish than sensible.
[01:16.500 --> 01:19.940]  In other words, according to Russell, if the majority believes something to be true, it
[01:19.940 --> 01:22.520]  is quite likely false.
[01:22.520 --> 01:25.680]  Do you agree with Russell?
[01:25.680 --> 01:26.780]  Mark Twain did.
[01:26.780 --> 01:31.720]  He said, quote, whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to
[01:31.720 --> 01:34.560]  pause and reflect.
[01:34.560 --> 01:40.820]  Time to pause and reflect that something the majority believes may be false.
[01:40.820 --> 01:49.080]  We're going to discuss one such thing right now.
[01:49.080 --> 02:00.360]  The Dr. Reality Vodcast with Dave Champion.
[02:00.360 --> 02:01.880]  Let's start with this.
[02:01.880 --> 02:06.300]  Here's a true or false statement for you.
[02:06.300 --> 02:11.320]  If you earn a living in the United States, the law requires you to pay income tax.
[02:11.320 --> 02:17.720]  If your immediate reaction was, of course the law requires you to pay income tax.
[02:17.720 --> 02:23.680]  I hate to say it, but you're exactly the person Asimov and Russell were talking about.
[02:23.680 --> 02:26.640]  Now, let's get real for a moment.
[02:26.640 --> 02:31.360]  Why was your immediate reaction that it applies to everyone who earns a living?
[02:31.360 --> 02:37.040]  Was it based on tax law, of which you've never read a single word?
[02:37.040 --> 02:38.280]  Obviously not.
[02:38.280 --> 02:43.440]  It was because your mental framework on this subject is that everyone else believes it,
[02:43.440 --> 02:45.120]  so it must be true.
[02:45.120 --> 02:50.080]  In other words, your reaction was based on going along with the crowd, exactly what Asimov
[02:50.080 --> 02:52.000]  and Russell were talking about.
[02:52.000 --> 02:55.880]  I often speak about the truth that the income tax has never been imposed on ordinary working
[02:55.880 --> 02:57.160]  Americans.
[02:57.160 --> 03:04.560]  The widespread perception that it has been is based on blind acceptance by the American
[03:04.560 --> 03:09.360]  people of massive government disinformation on the subject for the last 60 years.
[03:09.360 --> 03:15.400]  That's the reason you reacted from a belief held by the masses.
[03:15.400 --> 03:18.720]  I was first introduced to the truth in 1993.
[03:18.720 --> 03:23.440]  Since then, I have always maintained that the government's lie will end when the American
[03:23.440 --> 03:25.880]  people choose it to end.
[03:25.880 --> 03:30.240]  The facts in law are clear and indisputable.
[03:30.240 --> 03:35.360]  The only reason the lie continues in effect is because the government's 60-year disinformation
[03:35.360 --> 03:41.200]  campaign has been so successful that most Americans dismiss the truth out of hand without
[03:41.200 --> 03:43.600]  even looking at it.
[03:43.600 --> 03:51.400]  When hundreds of millions of Americans refuse to look at the facts to their own detriment,
[03:51.400 --> 03:57.440]  that's some incredibly successful brainwashing by the government.
[03:57.440 --> 04:00.680]  Of course, you're not brainwashed, right?
[04:00.680 --> 04:03.160]  It's everyone else.
[04:03.200 --> 04:06.880]  People show that trust in government is at an all-time low.
[04:06.880 --> 04:11.480]  Government keeps spending like a drunken sailor, and politicians keep using tax dollars, your
[04:11.480 --> 04:13.960]  money, to buy votes.
[04:13.960 --> 04:17.520]  Everyone says they loathe that system and want change.
[04:17.520 --> 04:22.400]  Yet, year after year, the American people ignore the truth of the income tax and continue
[04:22.400 --> 04:28.240]  buying the government's propaganda hook, line, and sinker, again to their own detriment,
[04:28.240 --> 04:33.640]  and in opposition to their claimed loathing of that system.
[04:33.640 --> 04:35.680]  Ask yourself a question.
[04:35.680 --> 04:42.400]  Since the law does not require ordinary working Americans like you to file a tax return or
[04:42.400 --> 04:47.640]  pay a pending income tax, and you claim to loathe the waste and corruption that is part
[04:47.640 --> 04:54.680]  and parcel of the government's massive spending, why do you continue feeding the monster?
[04:54.680 --> 05:01.360]  There is no law requiring you to do it, so why do you choose to be a part of the problem?
[05:01.360 --> 05:06.880]  In today's presentation, I'm going to give you facts, data, and evidence that will help
[05:06.880 --> 05:11.240]  you make a better, more patriotic decision.
[05:11.240 --> 05:13.840]  Before we get rolling, a couple of quick items.
[05:13.840 --> 05:18.480]  First, what you're about to hear are segments from a couple of earlier presentations on
[05:18.480 --> 05:23.780]  subjects other than taxation that ended up discussing income tax because the original
[05:23.780 --> 05:29.860]  subject flowed naturally into discussing the obvious conflict of believing a privilege
[05:29.860 --> 05:35.780]  tax, which is what the Supreme Court has said the income tax is, operates upon your unalienable
[05:35.780 --> 05:38.340]  right to earn a living.
[05:38.340 --> 05:44.140]  Second, those who know the truth are going to cheer today's content, while those who
[05:44.140 --> 05:48.760]  have never seen the law will likely think that what they're hearing can't possibly
[05:48.760 --> 05:50.100]  be true.
[05:50.100 --> 05:52.860]  If you find yourself thinking that, consider this.
[05:52.860 --> 05:56.740]  If those who have read the law are thrilled with the facts you're about to hear, while
[05:56.740 --> 06:01.140]  those who've never read a word of tax law think it's kooky, where do you think the
[06:01.140 --> 06:06.380]  credibility lies with the group that has read the law or the group that hasn't?
[06:06.380 --> 06:11.620]  Last thing before we get into it, the only comprehensive compendium in America that provides
[06:11.620 --> 06:15.700]  you with all the facts, history, law, and evidence you need to become a part of the
[06:15.700 --> 06:20.500]  informed community is income tax shattering the mess.
[06:20.500 --> 06:25.220]  If you want to skip the fun, informative, and fascinating facts that are about to play
[06:25.220 --> 06:30.540]  and jump into the main course, you can get 15% off income tax shattering the mess for
[06:30.540 --> 06:38.220]  a limited time at drreality.news, drreality.news, I'll put the link and the discount codes in
[06:38.220 --> 06:39.220]  the notes.
[06:39.220 --> 06:42.620]  Enjoy the intriguing facts, data, and evidence you're about to hear.
[06:42.620 --> 06:46.020]  I'll visit with you again briefly at the end to make what I believe is a meaningful
[06:46.020 --> 06:49.740]  observation about what you learned.
[06:49.740 --> 06:54.620]  As you may know, I'm the author of income tax shattering the mess and the national expert
[06:54.620 --> 06:57.940]  on the question of who owes income tax and who does not.
[06:57.940 --> 07:03.180]  Now, I'm going to surprise you, let me ask you a question.
[07:03.180 --> 07:14.180]  Do you know who has never said Congress imposed the income tax on ordinary working Americans?
[07:14.180 --> 07:20.020]  The highest ranking tax authority in the United States is the Secretary of the Treasury.
[07:20.020 --> 07:26.060]  In the 110 years since Congress enacted the income tax, no Secretary of the Treasury has
[07:26.060 --> 07:30.380]  ever said the income tax has been imposed on ordinary working Americans.
[07:30.380 --> 07:36.280]  No commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service has ever made that claim.
[07:36.280 --> 07:40.340]  Under the commissioner are a number of assistant commissioners.
[07:40.420 --> 07:45.620]  None of them have ever asserted that the income tax has been imposed on ordinary working Americans.
[07:45.620 --> 07:51.820]  No chief counsel of the Internal Revenue Service has ever said that.
[07:51.820 --> 07:56.580]  No director of the IRS's criminal investigation has said it.
[07:56.580 --> 08:02.000]  No U.S. attorney in charge of the Department of Justice's tax division has said it.
[08:02.000 --> 08:06.660]  Why have none of those officials ever said the income tax has been imposed on ordinary
[08:06.660 --> 08:09.580]  working Americans?
[08:09.580 --> 08:14.300]  Because as government officials, they can be put on trial and sentenced to prison for
[08:14.300 --> 08:19.740]  making a false statement of law that adversely affects your rights.
[08:19.740 --> 08:24.820]  As an example, imagine the Secretary of Energy stated publicly that while Americans have
[08:24.820 --> 08:30.340]  the right to free speech, that right does not extend to criticizing the Department of
[08:30.340 --> 08:31.340]  Energy.
[08:31.340 --> 08:35.760]  Shortly thereafter, someone criticizes the Energy Department and criminal investigators
[08:35.760 --> 08:39.640]  from the Energy Department arrest that person for doing so.
[08:39.640 --> 08:42.680]  In the subsequent lawsuit, who do you think would be named?
[08:42.680 --> 08:44.560]  It wouldn't just be the arresting agents.
[08:44.560 --> 08:48.800]  The suit would include the Energy Secretary because she has authority over the Energy
[08:48.800 --> 08:53.480]  Department investigators and her public statement would be seen as communicating to those investigators
[08:53.480 --> 08:59.280]  that their actions, which violated the unalienable right of the American citizen they arrested,
[08:59.280 --> 09:02.280]  were authorized by the Secretary.
[09:02.280 --> 09:07.940]  Furthermore, the Energy Secretary's public statement could be used as the basis for criminal
[09:07.940 --> 09:15.040]  prosecution under 18 U.S.C. Section 242 entitled Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Authority.
[09:15.040 --> 09:23.000]  I encourage you to spend as many hours of research as it takes for you to be certain
[09:23.000 --> 09:29.160]  that government tax officials I listed a moment ago have never once said the income tax applies
[09:29.160 --> 09:32.000]  to ordinary working Americans.
[09:32.000 --> 09:38.160]  Not only have those officials never said any such thing, but I have invited every one of
[09:38.160 --> 09:46.020]  them to join me in an open public debate about the proper application of the income tax.
[09:46.020 --> 09:50.400]  Every single one has refused to debate.
[09:50.400 --> 09:54.020]  Here's the list of those I have invited to debate me.
[09:54.020 --> 10:01.360]  The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, Assistant
[10:01.360 --> 10:07.440]  Commissioners of the Internal Revenue Service, the Chief Counsel of the Internal Revenue
[10:07.440 --> 10:14.200]  Service, the National Director of the IRS's Criminal Investigation Division, a Regional
[10:14.200 --> 10:19.640]  Director of the IRS's Criminal Investigation Division, the U.S. Attorney in Charge of the
[10:19.640 --> 10:23.480]  Department of Justice's Tax Division.
[10:23.480 --> 10:28.520]  I've also challenged to debate me a number of private sector so-called tax experts who
[10:28.520 --> 10:33.400]  have condemned Americans who are telling their fellow citizens the truth about the
[10:33.400 --> 10:34.760]  income tax.
[10:34.760 --> 10:38.900]  I started putting out those invitations about 20 years ago.
[10:38.900 --> 10:45.900]  Not a single so-called tax professional has been willing to debate me.
[10:45.900 --> 10:51.440]  That said, I understand why so-called tax professionals condemn Americans who are telling
[10:51.440 --> 10:53.240]  the truth.
[10:53.240 --> 10:55.600]  It's self-preservation.
[10:55.600 --> 11:01.960]  Once the truth goes viral, they know those so-called tax experts are going to be financially
[11:01.960 --> 11:05.880]  devastated and have to go get a real job.
[11:05.880 --> 11:10.720]  In fact, I've estimated that when Americans know the truth and act upon it, nine out of
[11:10.720 --> 11:13.360]  ten accountants will be out of work.
[11:13.360 --> 11:17.680]  Plus, the remaining 10% will make a lot less money because their value will be greatly
[11:17.680 --> 11:21.000]  diminished instead of making the lion's share of their money from income tax.
[11:21.000 --> 11:25.040]  They'll end up being a little more than glorified bookkeepers.
[11:25.040 --> 11:29.920]  I should also mention that just as the income tax has never been imposed on ordinary working
[11:29.920 --> 11:35.800]  Americans, it also has never been imposed on ordinary domestic businesses whose revenue
[11:35.800 --> 11:38.280]  comes from within the states of the union.
[11:38.280 --> 11:44.480]  In other words, if you own a mechanic shop, a real estate firm, clothing store, dog grooming
[11:44.480 --> 11:51.360]  business, computer repair, a consulting service, construction firm, and on and on, Congress
[11:51.360 --> 11:56.800]  has never imposed the income tax on your business, and you've never been required
[11:56.800 --> 12:01.560]  to file a Form 1120 or pay a penny of income tax.
[12:01.560 --> 12:05.760]  Every small and medium business person knows the drill.
[12:05.760 --> 12:10.860]  You decide to open your own business, so you reach out to other business people or an accountant,
[12:10.860 --> 12:18.360]  and they share completely ignorant shit with you about getting an employer identification
[12:18.360 --> 12:24.200]  number, filing quarterly tax returns, annual returns, withholding from your workers' paychecks,
[12:24.200 --> 12:28.120]  filing 941s, W2s, blah, blah, blah.
[12:28.120 --> 12:34.240]  And you do it all because people told you that's the right way to run a business.
[12:34.240 --> 12:37.080]  But you never read the law, did you?
[12:37.080 --> 12:39.620]  You just did what they said.
[12:39.620 --> 12:40.980]  How do I know that?
[12:40.980 --> 12:46.400]  Not only have I seen it done thousands of times, but before I read the law myself and
[12:46.400 --> 12:50.200]  learned the truth, I did the exact same thing.
[12:50.200 --> 12:54.960]  Looking back, I feel like an ass for having done it that way.
[12:54.960 --> 12:59.560]  It was foolish of me, and it was foolish of you.
[12:59.560 --> 13:02.960]  It was all we knew at that time, right?
[13:02.960 --> 13:06.040]  But it's not all we know today.
[13:06.040 --> 13:12.720]  Today, thanks to income tax shattering the mist giving you a crystal clear detailed look
[13:12.880 --> 13:18.760]  at the indisputable truth that Congress has never imposed the income tax on you or your business,
[13:18.760 --> 13:23.800]  we know that none of that was or is required.
[13:23.800 --> 13:30.080]  The kicker is how to correct all that so you and your business can keep 100% of the profits
[13:30.080 --> 13:35.200]  rather than giving the government a cut to which it is not legally entitled.
[13:35.200 --> 13:40.800]  Income tax shattering the mist gives you the tools to do just that.
[13:40.800 --> 13:45.080]  Today you learned that an excise tax is a tax upon the exercise of a government-granted
[13:45.080 --> 13:46.080]  privilege.
[13:46.080 --> 13:52.320]  Now, you just heard Jefferson, 33 years after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution,
[13:52.320 --> 13:58.280]  saying freedom of property is part of the liberty of the American people.
[13:58.280 --> 14:00.560]  But you don't have to take Jefferson's word for it.
[14:00.560 --> 14:03.760]  In Corn v. Fort, the court stated, quote,
[14:11.800 --> 14:15.640]  To own property is a natural right.
[14:15.640 --> 14:19.240]  That begs the question, what is property?
[14:19.240 --> 14:23.920]  I think many Americans are a bit vague on what constitutes property.
[14:23.920 --> 14:28.960]  The short and sweet answer is it's anything you own, whether it be a home or a bowling
[14:28.960 --> 14:30.000]  ball.
[14:30.000 --> 14:33.000]  Everything that belongs to you is your property.
[14:33.000 --> 14:39.840]  But in America, we have all sorts of euphemisms that I believe dull our sense of what is property.
[14:39.840 --> 14:44.480]  In business, as an example, we use words such as profit, margin, income, cash flow,
[14:44.480 --> 14:46.240]  and revenue stream.
[14:46.240 --> 14:51.600]  Workers get a paycheck, which I don't think many of them see as their property.
[14:51.600 --> 14:57.640]  One of you heard someone who received a paycheck say, I just got $2,000 of my property.
[14:57.640 --> 15:00.040]  All wager, never.
[15:00.040 --> 15:05.040]  Americans have been conditioned not to think about such things as property.
[15:05.040 --> 15:07.600]  Let me give you a couple of quick scenarios.
[15:07.600 --> 15:11.200]  Let's say a guy wants a ditch dug on his property.
[15:11.200 --> 15:13.680]  You tell him you'll do it for $500.
[15:13.680 --> 15:16.980]  When you complete the ditch, he hands you $500.
[15:16.980 --> 15:20.800]  In Coppage v. Kansas, the U.S. Supreme Court said, quote,
[15:20.800 --> 15:27.240]  The property that every man has is his personal labor.
[15:27.240 --> 15:30.320]  In other words, you started with property in the form of labor.
[15:30.320 --> 15:33.800]  You exchanged that property for another form of property.
[15:33.800 --> 15:39.520]  But whether it is your labor or the $500 you received in exchange, it is at all times
[15:39.520 --> 15:41.520]  your property.
[15:41.520 --> 15:49.480]  Hopefully you recall from earlier in the presentation that a right is the opposite of a privilege.
[15:49.480 --> 15:51.360]  Let's say you're an entrepreneur.
[15:51.360 --> 15:54.620]  You see a widget being sold for $100.
[15:54.620 --> 15:57.680]  At that moment, the widget is whose property?
[15:57.680 --> 16:00.300]  It's the property of the seller, right?
[16:00.300 --> 16:04.100]  You give the seller $100 in exchange for the widget.
[16:04.100 --> 16:06.500]  Whose property is the widget then?
[16:06.500 --> 16:07.500]  Yours.
[16:07.500 --> 16:11.020]  And the seller has something worth $100 you gave him.
[16:11.020 --> 16:15.560]  Whatever you gave him that he values at $100 is now his property.
[16:15.560 --> 16:18.700]  There was an exchange of equal value.
[16:18.700 --> 16:22.820]  You then reach out to people you know who need widgets and you tell them you have one
[16:22.820 --> 16:25.420]  they can get for $200.
[16:25.420 --> 16:28.700]  One of them takes you up on your offer, giving you $200.
[16:28.700 --> 16:34.120]  If you valued the widget at $200 by setting that as the price and the buyer showed he
[16:34.120 --> 16:40.260]  also valued it at $200 by paying you $200 for it, then again, there was an exchange
[16:40.260 --> 16:42.180]  of equal value.
[16:42.180 --> 16:47.900]  Between you paying $100 for the widget and then selling it for $200, you increase the
[16:47.900 --> 16:51.740]  property you possess by $100.
[16:51.740 --> 16:56.060]  That is what is known as the fruits of your labor.
[16:56.060 --> 17:00.400]  Now, let's put this all together by hearing the words of the U.S. Supreme Court in Butcher's
[17:00.400 --> 17:03.780]  Union Company, the Crescent City Company.
[17:03.780 --> 17:09.940]  In Butcher, the court said, quote, the property that every man has is his personal labor,
[17:09.940 --> 17:16.360]  as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable.
[17:16.360 --> 17:21.340]  To hinder his employing it in whatever manner he thinks proper without injury to his neighbor
[17:21.340 --> 17:28.460]  is a plain violation of the most sacred property, close quote.
[17:28.460 --> 17:33.620]  Why am I directing your attention to what is property and that acquiring, possessing,
[17:33.620 --> 17:40.880]  and disposing of property in whatever form is one of your fundamental, unalienable rights?
[17:40.880 --> 17:45.140]  Just a moment ago in Corn v. Fort, you heard the court say,
[17:51.340 --> 17:55.740]  cannot be imposed.
[17:55.740 --> 17:59.860]  For which an excise cannot be imposed?
[17:59.860 --> 18:01.520]  That makes perfect sense, right?
[18:01.520 --> 18:07.500]  Because you know a right is the opposite of a privilege and an excise is a tax upon a
[18:07.500 --> 18:08.500]  privilege.
[18:08.500 --> 18:14.860]  So, with all this wonderful information under your belt, I have to add one critical piece
[18:14.860 --> 18:16.540]  of knowledge.
[18:16.540 --> 18:21.220]  Here is U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Edward Douglas White Jr. writing in the court's
[18:21.540 --> 18:24.900]  Bruce Schaber decision, quote,
[18:24.900 --> 18:34.100]  The Pollock case recognized the fact that taxation on income was in its nature an excise,
[18:34.100 --> 18:35.100]  close quote.
[18:35.100 --> 18:39.540]  That's Justice White in Bruce Schaber pointing out the precedent the court said in Pollock
[18:39.540 --> 18:45.660]  that income tax is an excise tax, a tax upon the exercise of a government-granted privilege.
[18:45.660 --> 18:50.180]  I should add that Bruce Schaber has never been reversed in whole or in part, so the
[18:50.180 --> 18:55.980]  holding of the court that income tax is an excise remains in force today.
[18:55.980 --> 19:02.220]  You know what an excise tax is, a tax upon the exercise of a government-granted privilege.
[19:02.220 --> 19:06.660]  You now know that your property, your labor property, and the fruits of property, such
[19:06.660 --> 19:11.340]  as your paycheck, are all constitutionally protected rights.
[19:11.340 --> 19:16.400]  And you know that the income tax is a tax upon the exercise of a privilege.
[19:16.400 --> 19:22.320]  So then, can you explain to me why you think you owe income tax?
[19:22.320 --> 19:24.620]  I'll wait.
[19:24.620 --> 19:28.200]  What you're seeing on the screen right now is a form W-4.
[19:28.200 --> 19:31.960]  If you've ever worked for a company, you've undoubtedly filled out this form.
[19:31.960 --> 19:37.240]  I want you to listen to what I'm about to say very carefully.
[19:37.240 --> 19:44.280]  The form you're looking at is legally required ONLY for non-resident aliens working for a
[19:44.280 --> 19:49.880]  government employer that is under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress.
[19:49.880 --> 19:57.680]  I know that's not what you've been told, but hopefully 2020, 2021, and 2022 taught you
[19:57.680 --> 20:04.080]  how essential it is to question everything the establishment tells you.
[20:04.080 --> 20:07.920]  What you're seeing on the screen now is a form W-9.
[20:07.920 --> 20:12.000]  If you work for yourself, you've undoubtedly filled out more than a few of these.
[20:12.000 --> 20:16.800]  Again, I want you to listen carefully to what I'm about to say.
[20:16.800 --> 20:22.900]  The form you're looking at is legally required ONLY from those who are receiving payment
[20:22.900 --> 20:27.640]  of U.S. source income belonging to a foreign person.
[20:27.640 --> 20:30.640]  And again, I know that's not what you've been told.
[20:30.640 --> 20:34.760]  Do I need to repeat the part about how essential it is to question everything you've been
[20:34.760 --> 20:35.760]  told?
[20:35.760 --> 20:37.360]  Now, the kicker.
[20:37.360 --> 20:42.960]  Signing a form W-4 requires an employer to send the government a form W-2 about you at
[20:42.960 --> 20:44.840]  the end of the year.
[20:44.840 --> 20:50.920]  The form W-2 received by the government is presumptive evidence that you signed a W-4,
[20:50.920 --> 20:57.240]  which is ONLY to be signed by a non-resident alien working for a government agency or instrumentality
[20:57.240 --> 21:00.560]  under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress.
[21:00.560 --> 21:06.120]  Do you remember the Supreme Court said income tax is a tax upon the exercise of a government-granted
[21:06.120 --> 21:07.120]  privilege?
[21:07.120 --> 21:10.120]  Well, guess what?
[21:10.120 --> 21:15.960]  It IS a privilege for a non-resident alien to obtain U.S. source income.
[21:15.960 --> 21:21.280]  When the government receives the presumptive evidence that you signed a W-4, the government
[21:21.280 --> 21:26.160]  takes you at your word that you're a non-resident alien with U.S. source income and then expects
[21:26.160 --> 21:31.840]  you to sign a form 1040 and pay the privilege tax, the income tax.
[21:31.840 --> 21:33.840]  Why do they expect that?
[21:33.840 --> 21:41.840]  Because by signing a W-4, YOU told them you're a non-resident alien with U.S. source income.
[21:41.840 --> 21:44.920]  Here's the kicker for those who work for themselves.
[21:44.920 --> 21:51.040]  When you sign a form W-9, you are attesting, under penalty of perjury, that the payments
[21:51.040 --> 21:55.540]  you're receiving are not your income, but rather are U.S. source income belonging to
[21:55.540 --> 21:57.360]  a foreign person.
[21:57.360 --> 22:01.280]  Once you sign that W-9, the party paying you is obligated to send the government a form
[22:01.280 --> 22:05.240]  1099 about you at the end of the year.
[22:05.240 --> 22:10.480]  That 1099 is presumptive evidence that you certified, under penalty of perjury, that
[22:10.480 --> 22:15.720]  the payments you received are U.S. source income belonging to a foreign person.
[22:15.720 --> 22:22.000]  And again, it is a privilege for a foreigner to derive U.S. source income.
[22:22.000 --> 22:27.460]  That privilege is taxable and that tax is known as the U.S. income tax.
[22:27.460 --> 22:31.820]  If you attest, under penalty of perjury, to receiving U.S. source income belonging to
[22:31.820 --> 22:34.580]  a foreign person, you have to do one of two things.
[22:34.580 --> 22:39.380]  First, you can pass the income down the line, meaning you pay it out to a person who gives
[22:39.380 --> 22:47.220]  you a W-9, requiring you to send in a 1099, thus showing you no longer possess the foreign
[22:47.220 --> 22:48.340]  person's income.
[22:48.340 --> 22:53.100]  Or second, you have to pay the income tax owed by the foreign person on his or her U.S.
[22:53.100 --> 22:54.700]  source income.
[22:54.700 --> 22:58.180]  How do you pay the tax on the foreign person's U.S. source income?
[22:58.180 --> 22:59.180]  Simple.
[22:59.180 --> 23:01.460]  You file a 1040 or an 1120.
[23:01.460 --> 23:05.300]  Both of these are for reporting U.S. source income of a foreign person and paying the
[23:05.300 --> 23:07.220]  tax the foreign person owes.
[23:07.220 --> 23:10.560]  One form is for individuals, the other for corporations.
[23:10.560 --> 23:14.860]  You may have heard me talk about the fact that in the 110-year history of the income
[23:14.860 --> 23:22.420]  tax, nine different treasury decisions say form 1040 is to be used by a non-resident
[23:22.420 --> 23:30.300]  alien with U.S. source income or the non-resident alien's U.S. agent while there is not a single
[23:30.300 --> 23:34.460]  treasury decision saying an American living or working in a state of the union earning
[23:34.460 --> 23:45.860]  his or her own domestic source income is required to file any form whatsoever, none, nada, zilch.
[23:45.860 --> 23:48.580]  Now perhaps that makes more sense to you.
[23:48.580 --> 23:53.860]  What you've learned today is 100% factual, but it has also been basically an outline
[23:53.860 --> 23:57.340]  of the constitutional issues at play.
[23:57.340 --> 24:02.780]  Income tax shattering the mess is a master class in the origins and proper legal application
[24:02.780 --> 24:04.540]  of the income tax.
[24:04.540 --> 24:08.700]  It verifies everything I've shared with you today.
[24:08.700 --> 24:13.020]  But it's even better than that because the material is presented in a way that every
[24:13.020 --> 24:20.700]  American can follow, understand, retain, and apply in their own lives if they so choose.
[24:20.700 --> 24:24.060]  Jefferson spoke about our rights and duties.
[24:24.060 --> 24:28.660]  I believe with every shred of my being that we have been losing our freedoms because far
[24:28.660 --> 24:33.500]  too many Americans focus solely on their rights with little or no concern about our commensurate
[24:33.500 --> 24:35.460]  responsibilities.
[24:35.460 --> 24:42.060]  As Payne said, we must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting freedom.
[24:42.060 --> 24:48.640]  In my opinion, Americans must learn the truth about the income tax and spread the word.
[24:48.640 --> 24:50.500]  We need to make the truth go viral.
[24:50.500 --> 24:56.020]  In terms of ending this scam, what might be difficult for 2 million people will be incredibly
[24:56.020 --> 24:59.600]  simple for tens of millions of people.
[24:59.600 --> 25:01.420]  How do we get there?
[25:01.420 --> 25:06.900]  We learn, we spread the truth, and we encourage our fellow Americans to do the same.
[25:06.900 --> 25:12.040]  I haven't filed an income tax return or paid a penny of income tax in 30 years.
[25:12.040 --> 25:16.280]  That should be an unexceptional statement because the tax has never been imposed on
[25:16.280 --> 25:17.280]  you.
[25:17.280 --> 25:21.480]  The difference between me and you is I studied the law and learned the truth.
[25:21.480 --> 25:27.080]  After 17 years of research and 17 years of living the truth out of my own life, I wrote
[25:27.080 --> 25:32.600]  a book making the matter crystal clear for my countrymen.
[25:32.600 --> 25:37.200]  Hundreds of thousands of Americans have already safely walked away from the government's income
[25:37.200 --> 25:42.920]  tax scam simply by learning what the law really says.
[25:42.920 --> 25:44.920]  You can too.
[25:44.920 --> 25:49.880]  I look forward to the day when every American says, I can't believe we all used to pay
[25:49.880 --> 25:50.880]  income tax.
[25:50.880 --> 25:53.640]  What were we thinking?
[25:53.640 --> 25:55.520]  I hope you enjoyed what you just heard.
[25:55.520 --> 25:59.840]  Earlier, I mentioned that the people who believe the government's false income tax narrative
[25:59.840 --> 26:02.080]  have never read the law.
[26:02.080 --> 26:05.360]  So what about attorneys and accountants?
[26:05.360 --> 26:09.520]  I've discussed lawyers and their ignorance of tax law in an earlier video, I'll put
[26:09.520 --> 26:10.520]  the link down in the notes.
[26:10.520 --> 26:14.900]  But for today, I'll simply tell you that in the 30 years I've been at this and the countless
[26:14.900 --> 26:19.680]  attorneys with whom I have spoken, not one has been able to tell me critical definitions
[26:19.680 --> 26:25.900]  and provisions within the tax code that determine who is liable for the tax and who is not.
[26:25.900 --> 26:27.660]  Not one.
[26:27.660 --> 26:31.160]  In 30 years, accountants read the law, right?
[26:31.160 --> 26:33.540]  Why aren't they telling their clients the truth?
[26:33.540 --> 26:39.060]  So first, most don't know because they never get into that area of tax law.
[26:39.060 --> 26:44.820]  They work exclusively from the block of law I call the rules of computation.
[26:44.820 --> 26:48.340]  The rules of computation are sections that explain how to figure the proper amount of
[26:48.340 --> 26:54.540]  tax for someone upon whom the tax has been imposed, but does not address who that is
[26:54.540 --> 26:56.460]  or is not.
[26:56.460 --> 26:58.100]  Are there accountants who know the truth?
[26:58.100 --> 26:59.100]  There are.
[26:59.100 --> 27:01.000]  I've spoken with several of them.
[27:01.000 --> 27:02.980]  Here is their dilemma.
[27:02.980 --> 27:05.500]  Imagine you own a store that sells widgets.
[27:05.500 --> 27:09.660]  100 people a day walk into your store looking to buy a widget.
[27:09.660 --> 27:14.420]  As you talk with each of them and hear the particulars of their situation, your conscience
[27:14.420 --> 27:19.020]  dictates that you have to tell 99 out of 100 that they don't need a widget.
[27:19.020 --> 27:23.580]  So instead of selling 100 widgets a day, you sell just one.
[27:23.580 --> 27:26.780]  Within several weeks, you'd be out of business, right?
[27:26.780 --> 27:30.100]  That's the situation faced by accountants who know the truth.
[27:30.100 --> 27:33.220]  Those I've spoken with say they cannot afford to tell people the truth.
[27:33.220 --> 27:37.400]  So when a person sees them about an income tax matter, the accountant takes the position
[27:37.400 --> 27:43.660]  that the responsibility to educate themselves falls on the individual and not on the accountant.
[27:43.660 --> 27:48.340]  I'm not thrilled with the ethics of that position, but I certainly understand why they've
[27:48.340 --> 27:49.900]  chosen that path.
[27:49.900 --> 27:54.940]  The bottom line is, whether you're talking about attorneys or accountants, an Upton Sinclair
[27:54.940 --> 27:57.740]  quote hits the nail on the head.
[27:58.620 --> 28:04.620]  It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding
[28:04.620 --> 28:05.620]  it.
[28:05.620 --> 28:10.340]  To pick up a copy of Income Tax Shattering the Mist and get 15% off the everyday price,
[28:10.340 --> 28:16.700]  go to drreality.news and enter the discount code OWNIT.
[28:16.700 --> 28:18.460]  Link and code are in the notes.
[28:18.460 --> 28:21.220]  15% off is a limited time offer.
[28:21.220 --> 28:24.460]  While you're on the website, take a look at the other publications.
[28:24.460 --> 28:29.700]  There is a Business Withholding Guide designed to help you properly communicate the law to
[28:29.700 --> 28:35.580]  your employer and the W-9 1099 Handbook designed to help you do the very best job at communicating
[28:35.580 --> 28:39.740]  to a company with which you're doing business why you are not a person required to furnish
[28:39.740 --> 28:42.220]  them with a Form W-9.
[28:42.220 --> 28:43.500]  Then there's body science.
[28:43.500 --> 28:46.500]  I'm not going to get into that today, but if you want to live in the manner for which
[28:46.500 --> 28:52.060]  your body is genetically coded rather than the illness creating way we live today, you
[28:52.060 --> 28:54.940]  will be thrilled with body science.
[28:54.940 --> 29:00.340]  The package containing all four is deeply discounted, so have a look around while you're
[29:00.340 --> 29:01.340]  there.
[29:01.340 --> 29:05.080]  Also, by purchasing Income Tax Shattering the Mist and or body science, you help me
[29:05.080 --> 29:10.620]  to continue to be here for you with these revealing and thought-provoking presentations.
