[00:02.480 --> 00:07.640] I conducted a poll on my Twitter page providing four choices for what topic I should cover [00:07.640 --> 00:09.680] in my next presentation. [00:09.680 --> 00:14.080] Turned out the poll was a tie between two topics, one of them being the details of the [00:14.080 --> 00:16.080] US government's income tax scam. [00:16.080 --> 00:18.760] It heartens me that people want to hear the truth. [00:18.760 --> 00:22.320] Evidence of the scam is as voluminous as it is irrefutable. [00:22.320 --> 00:25.280] Obviously, I can't share all of it with you here today. [00:25.280 --> 00:29.320] Nevertheless, I can share with you certain compelling key facts. [00:29.800 --> 00:30.720] I'm going to do that today. [00:30.720 --> 00:33.600] So stay with me and have your minds blown. [00:39.000 --> 00:41.960] The Doctor Reality Vodcast with Dave Champion. [00:50.320 --> 00:51.840] Let's start with this. [00:51.840 --> 00:56.960] The framework of everything you're about to hear is that the income tax is 100 [00:56.960 --> 00:58.800] percent constitutional. [00:58.880 --> 01:04.400] But for at least the last 60 years, the United States government has been running a massive [01:04.400 --> 01:10.320] and incredibly successful disinformation campaign to convince ordinary Americans the tax applies [01:10.320 --> 01:14.640] to them when in fact it does not and never has. [01:14.640 --> 01:18.280] The second thing you should bear in mind as we proceed is that what I'm about to share [01:18.280 --> 01:23.920] with you cannot be rebutted by any accountant, tax lawyer or lawyer for the government. [01:23.920 --> 01:24.920] How do I know that? [01:25.000 --> 01:29.680] I know that because I've given all of them countless opportunities to do so and they [01:29.680 --> 01:31.360] have never taken me up on it. [01:31.360 --> 01:34.440] The only place accountants or lawyers have attempted to rebut the information you're [01:34.440 --> 01:40.200] about to hear is in a private setting where they know they're not going to be recorded. [01:40.200 --> 01:41.640] Why is that important to them? [01:41.640 --> 01:45.080] Because they already know they have no credible rebuttal and if they were recorded, their [01:45.080 --> 01:49.280] professional reputations would suffer when the recording was made public. [01:49.280 --> 01:54.120] I should add that in every one of those private settings where they've attempted a rebuttal, [01:54.120 --> 01:56.480] they got their asses handed to them. [01:56.480 --> 02:02.120] Let's quickly review the broad outline of the disinformation campaign the government [02:02.120 --> 02:06.200] has been successful at getting most Americans to believe. [02:06.200 --> 02:07.840] It goes like this. [02:07.840 --> 02:08.960] You earn a living. [02:08.960 --> 02:13.800] In the course of doing so, you incur liability for income tax, which you can only discharge [02:13.800 --> 02:20.040] by filing a form 1040 or an 1120 if you're a business and paying the government a percentage [02:20.040 --> 02:21.960] of what you earned. [02:21.960 --> 02:27.160] And just to be clear from the outset, none of that is legally factual. [02:27.160 --> 02:31.200] The next thing to keep in mind as you watch this is that you've likely never read a word [02:31.200 --> 02:32.200] of tax law. [02:32.200 --> 02:37.400] You simply have come to believe the government's position because everyone, literally everyone, [02:37.400 --> 02:39.600] has told you it's true. [02:39.600 --> 02:43.760] I will remind you of the old adage, the truth is still the truth even if no one believes [02:43.760 --> 02:47.920] it and a lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it. [02:47.920 --> 02:50.700] Here's an interesting bit of information for you. [02:50.700 --> 02:56.140] I have never met an accountant or lawyer who knows the things we're about to discuss today. [02:56.140 --> 02:57.140] Why? [02:57.140 --> 03:02.100] Because despite the often stated view that if what we're about to discuss today is true, [03:02.100 --> 03:04.780] these professionals would know about it. [03:04.780 --> 03:06.820] That simply isn't true. [03:06.820 --> 03:10.620] Accountants and lawyers believe what they're told by those in authority, just like other [03:10.620 --> 03:11.620] people. [03:11.620 --> 03:16.660] As I said a moment ago, the government's disinformation campaign has been incredibly successful and [03:16.660 --> 03:22.900] a huge portion of the government's disinformation focus has been on brainwashing attorneys. [03:22.900 --> 03:27.240] As an example, in a recent presentation, I shared the content of a discussion between [03:27.240 --> 03:31.640] a company attorney and a person who knows the truth about the income tax. [03:31.640 --> 03:37.860] The attorney was so brainwashed that he would read a statute or regulation with his own [03:37.860 --> 03:43.580] eyes and then say it wasn't true. [03:43.580 --> 03:49.900] Why would a member of the bar childlessly deny what a statute or regulation says? [03:49.900 --> 03:54.260] Because he couldn't reconcile his brainwashing with what he'd just seen with his own eyes. [03:54.260 --> 03:59.780] Do you not find it fascinating that his brainwashing prevailed over what he'd read with his own [03:59.780 --> 04:00.780] eyes? [04:00.780 --> 04:05.060] I share that story to reinforce that despite what many Americans foolishly think, attorneys [04:05.060 --> 04:07.100] do not know the truth about the income tax. [04:07.100 --> 04:11.100] I'll put a link to that video in the notes so you can see the attorney deny the law for [04:11.100 --> 04:12.100] yourself. [04:12.300 --> 04:17.460] I'm going to make today's material as easy and streamlined as possible for you. [04:17.460 --> 04:18.460] That's it. [04:18.460 --> 04:20.340] I will need to quote some law. [04:20.340 --> 04:24.340] If I didn't, then you'd have to take my word for what the law says and that is counter [04:24.340 --> 04:29.140] to my belief that every American should see the law for themselves so you can stop having [04:29.140 --> 04:31.900] your property stolen from you. [04:31.900 --> 04:36.460] If at any time some legal jargon winds up being hard to follow, just back the video [04:36.460 --> 04:40.940] or podcast up a bit and listen again, it will all come together for you. [04:40.940 --> 04:44.700] The last thing you need to know before we jump into the facts is that I put my money [04:44.700 --> 04:46.020] where my mouth is. [04:46.020 --> 04:52.620] I haven't filed an income tax return or paid a penny of income tax since 1993. [04:52.620 --> 04:56.740] I'm also the author of Income Tax Shattering the Myths, the bestselling book in America [04:56.740 --> 04:59.500] revealing the truth about the income tax. [04:59.500 --> 05:05.220] Today you're going to hear a fraction of what appears in income tax shattering the myths. [05:05.220 --> 05:07.860] Now on with the evidence. [05:07.860 --> 05:12.260] In the government's disinformation narrative I mentioned a moment ago, a part of that is [05:12.260 --> 05:18.860] the ordinary working American has to file a tax return, a Form 1040. [05:18.860 --> 05:23.420] But let me be clear, that's complete nonsense. [05:23.420 --> 05:27.380] Income tax law says no such thing and never has. [05:27.380 --> 05:31.020] Let's talk about something called a treasury decision. [05:31.020 --> 05:34.700] While you've likely never heard of a treasury decision, it would be difficult to overstate [05:34.700 --> 05:37.980] how crucial they are to the proper understanding of tax law. [05:37.980 --> 05:40.140] Let me explain. [05:40.140 --> 05:44.900] Treasury decisions are the official determination of the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury concerning [05:44.900 --> 05:51.180] the interpretation of tax law and or establishes procedures the Secretary requires in order [05:51.180 --> 05:55.800] for a taxpayer to meet a tax obligation. [05:55.800 --> 06:00.580] Treasury decisions can be used and relied upon by employees of the Department of Treasury, [06:00.580 --> 06:07.580] the IRS, tax professionals, and the public as authoritative binding determinations concerning [06:07.580 --> 06:09.220] U.S. tax law. [06:09.220 --> 06:14.860] Employees of the Treasury Department, the IRS, are required to obey all treasury decisions. [06:14.860 --> 06:19.780] When the Secretary wants a treasury decision to have something that is in law called general [06:19.780 --> 06:23.880] applicability, the language of the treasury decision is published in the Federal Register [06:23.880 --> 06:26.820] and becomes a tax regulation. [06:26.820 --> 06:33.260] In short, treasury regulations are as authoritative as it gets. [06:33.260 --> 06:37.060] Now that you understand the importance of treasury decisions, you will remember a moment [06:37.060 --> 06:42.220] ago I mentioned they are used for, among other things, establishing procedures that must [06:42.220 --> 06:48.740] be followed by taxpayers, employees of the Treasury Department, and the IRS. [06:48.740 --> 06:55.140] Procedures specified in treasury decisions are 100% non-discretionary. [06:55.140 --> 06:58.960] As you can imagine, there can't be any conflicting instructions or material omissions. [06:58.960 --> 07:03.180] If there were, it would misguide the public and cause chaos. [07:03.180 --> 07:07.060] Since treasury decisions began being used before the turn of the 20th century, the Secretary [07:07.060 --> 07:10.100] knows exactly how that work must be done. [07:10.100 --> 07:15.020] Also, if we limit treasury decisions to just income tax, the Secretary has been issuing [07:15.020 --> 07:20.180] treasury decisions for that specific tax since 1913. [07:20.180 --> 07:24.140] So why did I educate you about treasury decisions? [07:24.140 --> 07:32.100] Does treasury decisions detail, with the required specificity, who exactly is required to file [07:32.100 --> 07:33.100] a Form 1040? [07:33.100 --> 07:36.060] I'd like to share those with you now. [07:36.060 --> 07:41.620] Treasury decision 1928 says a Form 1040 is to be used by a non-resident alien or his [07:41.620 --> 07:46.380] domestic agent to report the non-resident alien's U.S. source income. [07:46.380 --> 07:51.340] Treasury decision 2313 says a Form 1040 is to be used by a non-resident alien or his [07:52.020 --> 07:55.340] domestic agent to report the non-resident alien's U.S. source income. [07:55.340 --> 08:00.940] Treasury decision 2401 says a Form 1040 is to be used by a non-resident alien or his [08:00.940 --> 08:04.840] domestic agent to report the non-resident alien's U.S. source income. [08:04.840 --> 08:11.140] Treasury decision 2815 says a Form 1040 is to be used by a non-resident alien or his [08:11.140 --> 08:15.180] domestic agent to report the non-resident alien's U.S. source income. [08:15.180 --> 08:20.580] Treasury decision 2988 says a Form 1040 is to be used by a non-resident alien or his [08:20.580 --> 08:25.400] domestic or his domestic agent, to report the Non-Resident Alien's U.S. source income. [08:25.400 --> 08:31.040] Treasury Decision 6500 says a Form 1040 is to be used by a Non-Resident Alien or his [08:31.040 --> 08:34.760] domestic agent to report the Non-Resident Alien's U.S. source income. [08:34.760 --> 08:39.980] Treasury Decision 2109 says a Form 1040 is to be used by a Non-Resident Alien or his [08:39.980 --> 08:44.120] domestic agent, to report the Non-Resident Alien's U.S. source income. [08:44.120 --> 08:49.160] If you kept count, that's the Secretary of the Treasury saying, in seven different [08:49.160 --> 08:53.000] Treasury decisions that a Form 1040 is to be used to report the U.S. source [08:53.000 --> 08:57.300] income of a non-resident alien. So now let's get to the Treasury decisions [08:57.300 --> 09:01.540] that designate someone other than the non-resident alien is being required to [09:01.540 --> 09:07.100] file a Form 1040. I can't accommodate you on that because there are no Treasury [09:07.100 --> 09:11.340] decisions designating anyone else to file a Form 1040. In the next few months [09:11.340 --> 09:17.140] it will be 110 years since the income tax was enacted. Over those 110 years the [09:17.140 --> 09:22.500] Secretary has repeatedly stated to the entire country his official requirement [09:22.500 --> 09:28.460] that non-resident aliens or their domestic agents are required by law to [09:28.460 --> 09:32.940] file 1040 to report the non-resident alien's U.S. source income. Remember a [09:32.940 --> 09:37.620] moment ago I said there can be no material omissions because that would [09:37.620 --> 09:43.700] misguide the public and result in chaos? Well there are no material omissions. [09:44.340 --> 09:47.460] There are no Treasury decisions designating anyone other than a [09:47.460 --> 09:52.260] non-resident alien or his domestic agent to use a Form 1040 because that is the [09:52.260 --> 09:58.700] only person permitted in the law to use one. If you believe that such a glaring [09:58.700 --> 10:03.100] omission, if it actually was an omission which it is not, would be allowed to [10:03.100 --> 10:07.620] continue without correction for 110 years, then just turn this [10:07.620 --> 10:11.660] presentation off because you have Stockholm Syndrome and need to get some [10:11.660 --> 10:18.580] seriously serious mental health care. But wait there's more! Let's address the [10:18.580 --> 10:24.540] definitions of withholding agent and payor. Let's start with withholding agent [10:24.540 --> 10:28.660] and then we'll tie that into payor. The definition of withholding agent is found [10:28.660 --> 10:35.740] at 26 USC 1441 and reads, quote, all persons in whatever capacity acting [10:35.740 --> 10:39.500] having the control, receipt, custody, disposal, or payment of any of the items [10:39.500 --> 10:43.740] of income of any non-resident alien individual or any foreign partnership, [10:43.740 --> 10:49.260] close quote. So to be clear, in order to be a withholding agent one must have [10:49.260 --> 10:52.900] control, receipt, custody, disposal, payment of any items of income of any [10:52.900 --> 11:00.060] non-resident alien or foreign partnership. As an aside, the Secretary often compounds [11:00.060 --> 11:03.900] non-resident alien and foreign entities such as partnerships and corporations [11:03.900 --> 11:09.020] into the single term foreign person. You'll hear me use that term moving [11:09.020 --> 11:13.060] forward. Now that we know what a withholding agent is, let's have a look at [11:13.060 --> 11:20.220] payor. That definition is found in the regulations at 1.1441-1C19 and reads, [11:20.220 --> 11:27.500] quote, the term payor is defined in section 31.3401A2 of this chapter and [11:27.500 --> 11:37.860] section 1.6049-4A2 and generally includes a withholding agent, close quote. [11:37.900 --> 11:42.780] For our purpose at this moment, we want to focus on the last five words, [11:42.780 --> 11:48.020] generally includes a withholding agent. In law, generally means the thing is [11:48.020 --> 11:52.740] always true unless you come across a rare exception specified in law [11:52.740 --> 11:56.340] somewhere else. In other words, the Secretary of the Treasury is telling us [11:56.340 --> 12:01.340] we are always to consider a payor to also be a withholding agent unless [12:01.340 --> 12:07.220] specifically noted otherwise. Another way to phrase this is the terms payor and [12:07.220 --> 12:13.380] withholding agent are synonymous unless we are specifically told otherwise for [12:13.380 --> 12:18.020] the purpose of a particular part of a regulation. Because these terms are [12:18.020 --> 12:25.300] synonymous, withholding agent and payor mean the person who has control, receipt, [12:25.300 --> 12:31.540] custody, disposal, or payment of any items of income of any non-resident alien [12:31.540 --> 12:35.460] individual. With that understanding established, let me share with you the [12:35.460 --> 12:42.420] rest of the definition of payor, quote. The term also includes any person that [12:42.420 --> 12:47.220] makes a payment to an intermediary, flow-through entity, or U.S. branch that [12:47.220 --> 12:51.140] is not treated as a U.S. person to the extent the intermediary, flow-through, or [12:51.140 --> 12:56.500] U.S. branch provides a Form W-9 or other appropriate information related to a [12:56.500 --> 13:00.340] payee so that the payment can be reported under chapter 61 of the Internal [13:00.580 --> 13:06.660] Revenue Code and, if required, subject to backup withholding under section 3406, [13:06.660 --> 13:10.980] this latter rule does not preclude the intermediary, flow-through entity, or U.S. [13:10.980 --> 13:19.940] branch from also being a payor, close quote. That is a lot of jargon. But the [13:19.940 --> 13:25.860] meaningful part for this discussion are these words. The term also includes any [13:25.860 --> 13:29.140] person that makes a payment to an intermediate, flow-through entity, or U.S. [13:29.140 --> 13:33.300] branch that is not treated as a U.S. person to the extent the intermediary, [13:33.300 --> 13:41.620] flow-through, or U.S. branch provides a Form W-9, close quote. What that means is [13:41.620 --> 13:47.300] when any of the entities listed provides the person making the payment with a Form [13:47.300 --> 13:54.420] W-9 that notifies the person who is making the payment of income that it belongs to a [13:54.420 --> 13:59.220] nonresident alien or foreign entity. And as such, the person making the payment meets the [13:59.220 --> 14:04.980] definition of payor or withholding agent and must act as such under U.S. tax law. [14:04.980 --> 14:10.260] I hope you took note of the fact that the person making the payment is notified that the payment [14:10.260 --> 14:18.420] belongs to a nonresident alien or foreign entity by being given a Form W-9. I wonder how many of [14:18.420 --> 14:23.220] you own your own businesses and have provided a ton of W-9s over the years to people paying you [14:23.220 --> 14:29.460] for your work. I bet you didn't know you were telling the person making the payment that the [14:29.460 --> 14:36.020] amount being paid to you belongs to a nonresident alien. And to be clear, the only purpose of a Form [14:36.020 --> 14:44.100] W-9 is the recipient of the payment notifying the person making the payment under penalty perjury [14:44.100 --> 14:50.500] that the payment belongs to a nonresident alien. There is no other purpose for Form W-9 anywhere [14:50.500 --> 14:55.620] in U.S. tax law. Now that you know providing a W-9 tells the person making the payment that [14:55.620 --> 15:01.140] it belongs to a nonresident alien, which is then reported to the IRS on Form 1099, [15:01.780 --> 15:07.540] the sole requirement to file a Form 1040 being upon a nonresident alien or a domestic agent [15:08.420 --> 15:16.180] likely makes a lot more sense. If you didn't quite catch it, the way the payor notifies the IRS [15:16.180 --> 15:22.900] that you said the payment belongs to a nonresident alien is by sending them a Form 1099. [15:22.900 --> 15:29.540] The Form 1099, which is provided under penalty perjury, tells the IRS that you said, again under [15:29.540 --> 15:35.700] penalty perjury, that the payment belongs to a nonresident alien. Do you get how the scam works? [15:36.500 --> 15:42.180] Someone who owes you money says they won't pay you or will initiate backup withholding unless [15:42.180 --> 15:48.980] you provide a W-9. You don't know a thing about tax law, so you feel you have no choice. You [15:48.980 --> 15:55.460] provide a W-9 under penalty perjury, saying the money belongs to a foreign person. The payor [15:55.460 --> 16:02.100] centers the IRS at 1099 under penalty perjury, testifying that you identified the payment as [16:02.100 --> 16:09.220] belonging to a nonresident alien. Everyone in the process is making representations under penalty [16:09.220 --> 16:16.980] of perjury. Then, come April 15th of the following year, the IRS says, where's your 1040 and the [16:16.980 --> 16:23.460] money you owe us? And why shouldn't the IRS say that? You set all of it in motion by submitting [16:23.460 --> 16:29.300] EW-9 under penalty perjury. It was you. I get that it's out of ignorance resulting from a 60-year [16:29.300 --> 16:34.580] government disinformation campaign, but it was still you who created the legal presumption upon [16:34.580 --> 16:41.780] which the IRS is operating. A moment ago, I mentioned backup withholding. This is a particularly [16:41.780 --> 16:47.860] pernicious tactic businesses often use when a person declines to provide a Form W-9 to the person [16:47.860 --> 16:53.540] or entity making a payment. In that situation, the business may threaten to backup withhold. [16:54.260 --> 16:59.620] Since you already earn the money, therefore it is your property, and Americans have an [16:59.620 --> 17:04.020] unalienable right to property. As you might imagine, no business can summarily [17:04.020 --> 17:08.660] choose to take 31% of your property and hand it over to someone else, in this case, the government. [17:09.300 --> 17:16.180] Yet that's what these scumbags threaten to do. But, is it legal? As you might imagine, that depends [17:16.180 --> 17:23.540] on who the backup withholding is being applied against. It is 100% illegal when applied to you, [17:24.180 --> 17:27.940] unless you're receiving payment of US source income belonging to a foreign person. [17:28.580 --> 17:35.540] As you've already learned, a payor is someone making a payment that belongs to a foreign person, [17:35.540 --> 17:41.620] even if not paid directly to the foreign person. And, payor is synonymous with withholding agent. [17:42.420 --> 17:45.540] Guess who's the only person authorized in law to conduct backup withholding? [17:46.180 --> 17:52.740] If you said the payor withholding agent, you are 100% correct. The requirement to backup withhold [17:52.740 --> 18:00.420] is found in Statute 26 USC 3406A, which reads, quote, requirement to deduct and withhold. [18:01.060 --> 18:05.780] In the case of any reportable payment, if the payee fails to furnish his taxpayer identification [18:05.780 --> 18:11.460] number to the payor in the manner required, what I hope jumped out at you in that statute [18:11.460 --> 18:16.020] is that backup withholding can only be conducted by a payor, the definition of which being a person [18:16.020 --> 18:21.300] making payment of US source income belonging to a foreign person. For the sake of completeness, [18:21.300 --> 18:28.980] this is a good time to revisit the regulations at 1.1441-1C19 we discussed a few minutes ago. [18:28.980 --> 18:36.820] It reads, quote, the term payor is defined in section 31.3406A2 of this chapter and [18:36.820 --> 18:45.620] section 1.6049-4A2 and generally includes a withholding agent, close quote. [18:46.580 --> 18:58.020] The regulation mentioned in that passage, 31.340A2, is entitled definition of payors obligated to [18:58.020 --> 19:03.940] backup withhold. So you can easily connect the dots that one must be a withholding agent payor [19:03.940 --> 19:08.020] in order to engage in backup withholding. When a company threatens to backup withhold on the [19:08.020 --> 19:15.460] payment that does not belong to a foreign person, they are breaking the law and violating your rights. [19:16.340 --> 19:26.500] The passage also mentions 1.6049-4A2. What is the title of that? The title is return of information [19:26.500 --> 19:33.060] as to interest paid and original issue discount, included in gross income after December 31, 1982, [19:33.780 --> 19:38.260] which obviously has nothing to do with the company paying you for the work you performed for them. [19:38.900 --> 19:44.580] Again, when a company threatens to backup withhold on a payment that does not belong to a foreign [19:44.580 --> 19:50.980] person, they are breaking the law and violating your rights. I know this video is going a bit [19:50.980 --> 19:55.860] long, but let's quickly discuss one more thing. Let's talk about Treasury decision 8734, [19:55.860 --> 20:03.700] which is entitled withholding of tax on non-resident aliens. 8734 is 123 pages long [20:03.700 --> 20:10.020] and eight point type. I have read all 123 pages several times. There is much in Treasury decision [20:10.020 --> 20:15.060] 8734 that makes clear what most Americans don't understand about U.S. tax law, [20:15.620 --> 20:21.300] including the correct applicability of various well-known tax forms. Before we jump into Treasury [20:21.300 --> 20:29.060] decision 8734, it is imperative that you keep in mind that all 123 pages of this Treasury decision [20:29.060 --> 20:35.140] pertain exclusively to withholding on non-resident aliens. If you lose sight of that during the [20:35.140 --> 20:39.140] discussion, you won't grasp the stunning implications of this Treasury decision. [20:39.780 --> 20:44.180] One of the numerous revealing statements by the Secretary of the Treasury in 8734 [20:44.180 --> 20:51.940] is this, quote, reporting to the IRS may be required under sections 6011 and 1461, [20:51.940 --> 20:59.140] or under the reporting provisions of chapter 61 of the code, such as 6041, 6041A, 6042, 6044, [20:59.140 --> 21:10.740] 6045, 6049, 6050A, or 6050N, parenthesis, the 1099 reporting provisions, close parenthesis, [21:10.740 --> 21:20.740] and close quote. Let's quickly break this down. 6011 is the general requirement for filing income [21:20.740 --> 21:26.260] tax returns, and it reads as follows, quote, when required by regulations prescribed by the [21:26.260 --> 21:31.780] Secretary, any person made liable for any tax imposed by this title or with respect to the [21:31.780 --> 21:38.180] collection thereof shall make a return or statement according to the forms and regulations prescribed [21:38.180 --> 21:44.260] by the Secretary, close quote. I love this statute because you now know which person the [21:44.260 --> 21:51.220] Secretary designated to use a form 1040, non-resident alien with US source income or his domestic agent. [21:51.780 --> 21:57.700] It next mentions 1461, which simply states that when a withholding agent withholds income tax from [21:57.700 --> 22:01.860] a foreign person, the withholding agent becomes liable to the government for that amount. [22:02.660 --> 22:07.780] Now we get to the juicy part. The Secretary says the requirement to file information returns [22:07.780 --> 22:14.740] under the various sections within chapter 61 are upon the person making payments to non-resident [22:14.740 --> 22:20.900] aliens. How do we know that? Because as I mentioned a moment ago, every word in 8734 [22:20.900 --> 22:26.100] is about payments made to non-resident aliens, and the Secretary was even kind enough to call those [22:26.100 --> 22:33.460] sections the 1099 reporting provisions. In 8734, the Secretary was being clear that the requirement [22:33.460 --> 22:40.340] to file 1099s is upon the person making a payment of US source income belonging to a foreign person. [22:41.300 --> 22:46.660] That said, I imagine someone out there is thinking there must be other Treasury decisions saying [22:46.660 --> 22:53.940] 1099s are to be filed on ordinary business between Americans. I've been at this for 30 years, [22:53.940 --> 22:59.700] and I can assure you there isn't. But more importantly, no one, including the United States [22:59.700 --> 23:05.140] government, has been able to provide a Treasury decision saying that. And of course that parallels [23:05.140 --> 23:09.140] the government cannot provide a Treasury decision saying any US citizen living and working in the [23:09.140 --> 23:15.140] 50 states earning their own domestic source income are required to file any income tax form. [23:15.940 --> 23:22.820] No such Treasury decision exists. It doesn't exist because Congress has never imposed the income tax [23:22.820 --> 23:31.700] on you. 8734 goes on to say, quote, a payor. You know who that is now, right? Making payments [23:31.700 --> 23:37.300] to foreign persons must also be aware of the information reporting provisions under chapter [23:37.300 --> 23:44.580] 61 of the code and of other withholding regimes such as section 3406, backup withholding, [23:45.220 --> 23:52.500] section 3402, wage withholding, and section 3405, withholding on pensions, annuities, [23:52.500 --> 23:59.460] et cetera. Close quote. And yes, payroll withholding is also only upon non-resident [23:59.460 --> 24:06.740] aliens receiving US source income, but that's a presentation for another day. 8734 then says, [24:07.060 --> 24:11.860] under chapter 61 of the code, many types of payments such as interest, dividends, royalties, [24:11.860 --> 24:16.580] broker proceeds, et cetera, open parentheses, reportable payments, close parentheses, [24:16.580 --> 24:24.500] must be reported on a form 1099 if paid to US persons. In addition, section 3406 requires the [24:24.500 --> 24:32.260] same US payees to furnish a taxpayer identification number to the payor generally on a form W9. [24:32.980 --> 24:38.340] Close quote. This is another great admission by the secretary because it speaks of payments [24:38.340 --> 24:44.740] that belong to a foreign person but are being made to a US intermediary, known as a US person, [24:44.740 --> 24:50.740] and declares that the US person receiving the foreigner's US source income must file a form [24:50.740 --> 24:58.900] W9 with the withholding agent payor. I can go on and on for hours, perhaps days, because as I said [24:58.900 --> 25:04.660] at the outset, the evidence is as voluminous as it is irrefutable. I mentioned in my opening remarks [25:04.660 --> 25:10.420] that I would not be able to provide you with the mountains of evidence that exist. Examples of [25:10.420 --> 25:15.540] subjects I didn't get into today are that payroll withholding is also upon US source income being [25:15.540 --> 25:20.900] paid to a non-resident alien. Everything you've learned today doesn't just apply to individuals [25:20.900 --> 25:25.300] but to domestic corporations as well. Just as Congress has never imposed the income tax on the [25:25.300 --> 25:30.020] ordinary working American, Congress has also not imposed the income tax on ordinary domestic [25:30.020 --> 25:35.220] corporations. In other words, while I didn't have the time to get into it, the same principles you [25:35.220 --> 25:41.700] learn today not only apply to you but also to your business. Phrased another way, there is no more [25:41.700 --> 25:47.860] requirement for an ordinary American business to file a form 1120 than there is for me or you to [25:47.940 --> 25:56.820] file a form 1040. How did this subject get so convoluted? I told you at the outset, a massive [25:56.820 --> 26:03.700] 60-year government disinformation campaign, and it continues to this very day. I don't know how you [26:03.700 --> 26:10.740] feel about having your property wrongfully stolen from you your entire life. I know how I feel about [26:10.740 --> 26:16.340] it. It was my revulsion and sense of betrayal with the fraud being committed against the American [26:16.340 --> 26:21.380] people by our so-called servant government that caused me to stop filing and paying when I learned [26:21.380 --> 26:27.620] the truth. That sense of revulsion and betrayal is what led me to write Income Tax Shattering the [26:27.620 --> 26:32.580] Mist, which lays out the entire scam from A to Z. You've only heard a fraction of it today. [26:33.300 --> 26:37.060] I wrote Income Tax Shattering the Mist so that my fellow Americans wouldn't have to spend [26:37.620 --> 26:43.620] years pulling all the pieces together in order to understand that the U.S. government has knowingly, [26:43.620 --> 26:49.780] willfully, and intentionally perpetrated the largest financial crime in world history and did [26:49.780 --> 26:58.180] so, is doing so, against the American people. What do you do now? That's up to you. I'm not big on [26:58.180 --> 27:04.180] telling others what to do. I will suggest you read Income Tax Shattering the Mist and get all the [27:04.180 --> 27:09.060] facts under your belt, not just the few I've been able to share with you today. Once you have all [27:09.060 --> 27:14.580] the facts under your belt, then you can decide whether you want to keep getting fucked over by [27:14.580 --> 27:22.180] the government or whether you'd like to safely walk away. I say safely walk away because when [27:22.180 --> 27:28.180] you have all the facts, you can do just that. In fact, tens of thousands of your fellow Americans [27:28.180 --> 27:32.740] have done just that with the information you'll find in Income Tax Shattering the Mist. You can [27:32.740 --> 27:38.180] get Income Tax Shattering the Mist. All you need to do is go to drreality.news. [27:40.580 --> 27:42.340] Robert Bruld famously said, [27:43.220 --> 27:48.580] worse than telling a lie is spending the rest of your life staying true to the lie. I would [27:48.580 --> 27:53.860] modify that a bit and say, worse than believing a lie is spending the rest of your life staying [27:53.860 --> 27:59.700] true to that lie once you know it is a lie. If you have found this presentation compelling, [28:00.340 --> 28:05.940] please share it. The scam isn't going to get unwound if people see the facts and say, [28:05.940 --> 28:13.220] oh, that's cool, but don't share it. The power of social media is sharing. No matter on what [28:13.220 --> 28:20.020] platform you're seeing this, you should be sharing it with everyone you know, everywhere you can think [28:20.580 --> 28:27.700] to share it. To go from hearing these irrefutable facts to having a full and complete command of [28:27.700 --> 28:34.180] the subject and easily becoming the expert in the room, go to drreality.news and get your own copy [28:34.180 --> 28:38.740] of Income Tax Shattering the Mist. You have my word. It will be the most fascinating non-fiction [28:38.740 --> 28:44.740] book you will ever read. Thanks for being here. Take care.
