Question 0.1: Do you recommend filing 1040 forms and paying income tax?
Answer 0.1: We do not voluntarily pay income tax, nor do we file 1040 forms. We file a letter along with a 1040NR form that has 1 cent for income. We use to file zero returns using the 1040NR form but have since changed tactic to force the IRS to process my returns. S We believe it would be hypocritical of us to take a position on this website that is not consistent with what we are actually doing or would be willing to do when required. Therefore, we as fellowship members do indeed practice exactly what we preach, and we believe that doing so adds far more credibility to what we say than the words themselves. You won't find any hypocrisy in anything we say on this website.

Question 0.2: Isn't it a contradiction for you, on the one hand, to be working for the government, and on the other hand to be criticizing that same government?
Answer 0.2: This is a free country and the First Amendment guarantees us a right of Free Speech, and especially if that speech is based on religious beliefs and it is done during my off-duty time. The First Amendment also guarantees us a right to petition our government for Redress of Grievances (wrongs) and the focus of this website is all about wrongs committed by the government and how they need to be remedied in order to restore the credibility and integrity of our government. We do not hate government. The only thing we hate is what God commands us to hate in the Bible, including:
Evil (Prov. 8:13)
A proud look .(Prov. 6:17)
A lying tongue. (Psalms 119:163, Psalms 119:104, Prov. 13:5, Prov. 6:17)
Hands that shed innocent blood. (Prov. 6:17)
A heart that devises wicked plans. (Prov. 6:18)
A false witness who speaks lies. (Prov. 6:19)
One who sows discord among brethren. (Prov. 6:19)
All of the above things we hate are behaviors, not people. God hates sin and lawlessness but he loves the sinner and we are no different. See Sections 2.3.6, 3.7, and 5.10.14 of the Family Constitution for further details on the subject of hating and judgment as it relates to this subject. At the same time, our Christian beliefs also require us to rebuke and reprove evil when we see it:
"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."
[Rev. 3:19, Bible, NKJV]"But those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will come upon them."
[Prov. 24:25, Bible, NKJV]"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [rebuke] them."
[Eph. 5:11, Bible, NKJV]Thomas Jefferson, one of our founding fathers, a President of the United States, a judge, a patriot, a devout Christian, and the author of our Declaration of Independence confirmed that we should be jealous of our liberties and watchful of our government for encroachment upon them when he said:
"It would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights... Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism. Free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence. It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power... Our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence may go... In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."
[Thomas Jefferson: Draft Kentucky Resolutions, 1798. ME 17:388]"Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people."
[Thomas Jefferson to Isaac H. Tiffany, 1816. ME 15:66]"Unless the mass retains sufficient control over those entrusted with the powers of their government, these will be perverted to their own oppression, and to the perpetuation of wealth and power in the individuals and their families selected for the trust. Whether our Constitution has hit on the exact degree of control necessary, is yet under experiment."
[Thomas Jefferson to M. van der Kemp, 1812. ME 13:136]Quite to the contrary, we see it as hypocritical, unethical, and illegal to be working for the DOD or the government and NOT do or say the things that appear on this website. We're a patriot and we love our country and our fellow citizens. When we joined the military, we took an oath to "Support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic so help me God." Right now, the biggest enemy of our rights and freedoms is not foreign or an Afghani terrorist, it is domestic and it is treasonous employees of our very own covetous and deceitful government, who are trying very hard to transform our Republic into an atheistic socialist democracy and thereby trample on our God given Constitutional individual rights. See chapter 4, and in particular sections 4.5 and 4.8 of our Great IRS Hoax book for details on this. We see it as hypocritical indeed for any employee of the government who took a similar oath to criticize the goals and objectives of this website, which are explained in our DISCLAIMER and in section 1.1 of our Great IRS Hoax book and we have three X IRS agents with over 20 years of collective experience who agree with us and who resigned from the IRS after they learned the truths on this and other websites! At the same time, it isn't ALL government employees who are committing this treason. It is only selected employees working for the Congress, Treasury, IRS, and Dept of INjustice, who obfuscate the tax code, illegally enforce it, and look the other way by not punishing those in the courts and the IRS who violate the law in the process. They are on the take, and they'll do anything to get your money, and the Bible agrees that the love of money by these crooked people is the root of all evil in 1 Tim. 6:10. There is principally no difference between all the corporate scandals we have seen of late and the cooking of the books and obfuscation of the "code" that surrounds collection and expenditure of the Subtitle A federal income tax. All the crooked corporations have been doing is emulating what government has been doing with Social Security since the program started in 1936. See section 2.9 of the Great IRS Hoax for further details on this scandal. Click here to see a humorous joke about this situation as well.
Lastly, it is illegal and a "prohibited personnel practice" to discriminate against whistleblowers who expose federal corruption and/or violation of law under 5 U.S.C. §2302(b)(8). Any person who engages in such illegal activities may be subject to criminal prosecution and dismissal from federal government service. Those persons who might feel inclined to contact my employer or institute disciplinary action against me for anything on this website, which collectively are a reflection of my religious views, is engaged in a "prohibited personnel practice" as legally defined. Click here for an example of an EEO complaint against those who engage in such illegal practices.
Question 0.3: Are you sure you don't see the moral, ethical and legal problem in your being paid by the tax dollars of Americans who actually pay their taxes and your refusing to pay your own taxes and advocating that others not pay theirs?
Answer 0.3: The fallacy of that question is that we, as am employee of the Department of Defense, am actually paid by Subtitle A federal income taxes. In fact, we are not. For the first 180 years of this country, defense functions of this country were paid exclusively by federal excise taxes on imports and we didn't even have personal income taxes up until WW II, except during a very brief period of the Civil war as an emergency war measure enacted by President Lincoln! We believe ALL AMERICANS and EVERYONE working for the government should obey the law. HOWEVER, the U.S. Code , 1 U.S.C. 204 legislative notes, clearly states that the Internal Revenue Code is NOT law. If it ain't positive law, then only those who consent can be required to comply. Even if it were law, no statute indicates a liability under I.R.C. Subtitle A. Consequently, then there is no cause for any legal, moral, or ethical problems with not volunteering. We devote an exhaustive amount of study in section of 1.11 of our Great IRS Hoax book to the subject of what would happen if the enforcement of federal income taxes by the IRS were reformed in the way that we suggest to make it consistent with the law and if Congress came clean and told the general public the truth about personal (Subtitle A) federal income taxes. To summarize the results of our detailed financial analysis in that section:
State income tax revenues would be reduced.
Medicare and Medicaid payments would need to end.
Social security participation would become voluntary and persons could withdraw payment at any time subject to the constraint that they would be able to collect benefits only based on what they put in and how much money the government has to spend at the time they retire.
Federal revenues would be reduced by 41%. This would necessitate a requirement for the federal government to ask the states for revenues directly and through apportionment as authorized by 1:9:4 and 1:2:3 of the U.S. Constitution. States would be likely to severely limit what they gave the feds through apportionment and take over a larger share of social services away from the federal government, thereby making state government more important to the average person.
Congress would have to start getting much more fiscally responsible, because the budget would get much tighter, and they would not be able to endlessly raise taxes to pay for increasing public debt, because most of their tax revenues would come from corporate excise taxes on foreign commerce, which they would have little control over.
Congress would have to stop its social engineering using the tax code because if people don't have to pay Subtitle A personal income taxes, then they aren't going to do crazy things to anymore just to earn the right to get a tax deduction. Congressional meddling in the economy would be replaced once again by an entirely free market based on capitalism. Keynesian economics and federal government meddling into our economy would also be far less frequent, because the feds would have fewer resources with which to meddle.
There would be a significant change in the job market:
7.1. IRS staffing could be shrunk by probably 50%, because 50 percent of its revenues come from personal income taxes.
7.2. Tax preparers would need to find another line of work, since they would have nothing they could charge for.
7.3. Probably half of the lawyers in the country would need to find a decent and honorable line of work finally. We wouldn’t need probate attorneys, living trusts to escape taxes, tax shelters, or offshore bank accounts or investments.
7.4. There would be massive cuts in the accounting field, since it would suddenly be much simpler to comply with all the laws and regulations regarding taxes.
7.5. Companies would probably be able to lay off 2/3 of their payroll people, because this job function would get much simpler without the need to deduct taxes.
The amount of money the federal government could borrow would be much less because its revenues would be less. Just like individuals, your borrowing power depends on disposable income after making payment on current debts.
There would be less partisanship in Congress, because there would be less money to fight about and fewer ways to raise significantly more.
There would be a natural check on the size of national government because most of federal revenue would come from taxes on imports. If the government got too large and charged to much for import taxes, other countries would be just as protective of their markets and our exports would go down. The system would naturally correct itself.
Federal elections would cease to be a vehicle of economic equalization. For instance, there would no longer be a financial incentive for older people to vote in congressmen and representatives who would perpetuate robbing the rich or the young to give to the poor or old. This would eliminate the use of the government for class warfare purposes, and would make politics far more objective and far less controversial.
Since the government would consume far less of the national income and very little personal income, federal politics would become less relevant and state politics would become correspondingly more relevant for the average American.
There would be far less reason for financial institutions to need or want a Social Security Number from depositors, since very few profit generating investments would result in a federal tax liability.
Much greater individual freedom would be the result, as individuals (natural persons) would:
14.1. Have 10% more disposable income per capita.
14.2. Could use the increase in their income to:
14.2.1. Donate more to their favorite charity or church (which would also help take care of those with medical expenses no longer covered by Medicare and Medicaid)
14.2.2. Put their children in private schools and get them away from the harmful affects of public schools.
14.2.3. Help their families, and especially older people in the family who need medical care (to replace Medicare and Medicaid).
14.3. Have ultimate privacy about their own financial affairs and would answer to no one.
14.4. Would no longer be required to incriminate themselves.
14.5. Would have more autonomy, respect, and authority in their own families, because children would need to depend more on their parents and other family members for charity and help until they can get on their own two feet.
Legal affects:
15.1. Federal courts and judges would no longer derive their pay from income taxes paid by individuals, and therefore would no longer have the conflict of interest they currently do in attempting to illegally enforce a voluntary income tax against Americans. This would produce a more objective legal system.
15.2. Law schools would have to focus on lines of business other than taxation.
Business climate:
16.1. The rate of new business failures would go dramatically down. Income taxes are a big drain on most small businesses, and it is very difficult, especially when they are first starting up, to deal with all of the payroll, tax, insurance, and employee benefit drain on their income. A very high percentage of first-time businesses fail because the taxes are so high. However, if there were no income taxes, then their cash flow situation would be drastically improved and the complexity of managing their business would be reduced, which would give most businesses more time to focus on customer satisfaction, which would thereby improve their profits and viability.
16.2. The price of goods and services would go down probably 20-30%, because businesses would not have to build in so many taxes into the price of their products and services.
16.3. The profitability of most small businesses would go dramatically up.
16.4. Employees would have a lot more take home pay, so they would have more spendable income, which would really promote an expansion of the economy and a redirection of income away from inefficient government projects toward a more consumer-oriented mentality.
Family affects:
17.1. Many families who currently have two breadwinners would only need one. The wife could quit her job and take care of the children or elderly parents. The children would turn out better than before because they would get more attention and supervision
17.2. Divorce rates would go down because there would be less financial stress on the family and because the majority of divorces are caused by disputes over money or the lack of it.
17.3. More people would choose to home school their kids, resulting in a better educational system.
17.4. More parents could afford to take their children out of public schools and put them into private schools. This would create more competition for the public schools and raise their standards.
17.5. The more traditional model for families, where the man is the breadwinner, would be much more common than it is today, because much more families could afford to implement it without paying income taxes.
We believe that all of the above changes in our political system that would have to result from the changes in the tax system that we advocate would be not only positive, but highly desirable and long overdue. More importantly, the number of systemic conflicts of interest would be reduced as well, including:
- Voters could no longer be tempted to vote for politicians who promise tax dollars to their favorite pet project because there wouldn't be tax dollars available for pet projects anymore. See our Tax Deposition Questions, Section 5 on First Amendment and Socialism, for some background on this subject.
- Federal judges would no longer be put in the awkward position of hearing tax trials while at the same time being beholden to the IRS and getting their paycheck from Subtitle A income taxes. Such a conflict of interest violates 28 U.S.C. 455. See our Tax Deposition Questions, Section 8 on Courts are Closed, for some background on this subject.
- Taxpayers would no longer be put into a conflicted state on the one hand thinking they have Constitutional rights, but on the other hand having those rights completely disregarded by the federal courts because of 28 U.S.C. §2201, which says that judges may not rule on rights or status regarding federal tax matters. See our Tax Deposition Questions, Section 4 on Fifth Amendment, for some background on this subject.
- Congress would no longer be incentivized to run up big public debt to bribe constituents for their votes. Remember, this public debt has to be paid of by unborn children at interest. That violates their rights and makes them financial slaves of the government in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1581, which prohibits slavery to pay off a debt, in this case to the Federal Reserve. It also represents taxation without representation, which is the very reason this country was founded. See our Tax Deposition Questions, Section 2 on Right to Labor, for some background on this subject.
- The Congress, the Treasury, and the IRS would no longer be incentivized to obfuscate the tax code to deceive the average American into thinking that they owe taxes because they simply wouldn't. See our Tax Deposition Questions, Section 9 on Ambiguity of Law, for some background on this subject.
- The growth of government and the encroachments of liberty this represents would be stopped because the food that keeps the beast alive would be reduced. America would return to being the Constitutional Republic (NOT DEMOCRACY, but REPUBLIC) that our founding fathers originally intended. It would become a beacon and light of freedom and liberty once again revered all around the world, rather than terrorized for its socialistic intervention in the affairs of other nations.
As we explain in section 1.11 of our Great IRS Hoax book, even without the Subtitle A federal income tax, our federal government would easily be able to afford to support the core functions of government identified by the founding fathers in the Constitution on the budget that would remain after Subtitle A federal income taxes would be eliminated. As a matter of fact, our government did exactly that from 1776 all the way up to 1943. Certainly it can repeat this again. Core functions of government include:
· Courts
· Prisons
· Military
· Roads
· Food and Drug Administration
· Coast Guard
Question 0.4: Why do you have to quote the Bible so often in your books and your website? I am disgusted at the numerous religious references. As a Libertarian, I hold the separation of church and state very dear. The numerous Christian references contained therein, in our opinion diminish the respectability of the work. Law should stand on the Constitution of the United States alone, and not religious or moral grounds. I fear the numerous Biblical references only serve to portray you and the work as a religious 'nut case' who is pushing your religion on the citizens of this country. That would make you no better a person than the socialist agenda currently unfolding in our government.
Answer 0.4: If you don't like God or the Bible or morality, then this isn't the website for you! Use of this website is a privilege, and not a right. No one forced you to download or use or read our materials and if you don't like them, then don't read them. No one is holding a gun in your back and forcing you to use our materials. However, just like the media, where people put up with 15 minutes of commercials every hour, you are going to have to not only put up with, but to ENJOY the commercials on this website or you will be asked to leave. Our sponsor is God and He is the ONLY reason this website even exists. Who are you to be looking a gift horse in the mouth?
The only thing that educating and empowering ungrateful atheists and blasphemers like you accomplishes is to make them more vain. "Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies." 1 Cor. 8:1. We don't want you benefiting from God's wisdom without believing in Him because that would be selfishness. "For everyone to whom much [information] is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more." Luke 12:48. Everyone has to serve someone and when there is no God, government or our own selfish hedonistic desires become our god. Christians describe this situation as idolatry, which is the worst kind of sin and is forbidden in Exodus 20:1-11. This very attitude is behind liberal efforts to remove God from our schools and public places, as a matter of fact. Furthermore, we mention in section 1.9.1 of our Great IRS Hoax book that if you are selfishly looking at our materials to get more money for yourself rather than to spend at least ten percent of the money you make on charitable causes and the Lord's causes as the Bible requires in Mal. 3:8, then you don't have our permission to use the materials on this website and have violated the user license and conditions of the copyright. Those who are selfish deserve to have a selfish government that lies to them and steals from them, because we should always reap what we sow. This is the golden rule:
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
[Matt. 7:12, Bible, NKJV]Furthermore, even if we do donate 10% of our income to charitable causes, if we tell anyone what we gave or who we gave it to rather than doing it secretly, then we have violated Matt. 6:1-4 and have a pride problem that will be our downfall eventually.
“Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.”
[Matt. 6:2, Bible, NKJV]Family Guardian does not have any religious tests or faith requirements, other than that people are believers. They don't have to be Methodists or Buddhists or Christians or Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses, or any other such thing, as long as they:
Have sincere love and affection for a single God and put their allegiance and obedience to that God above any thing or man or earthly nation or government.
Do not believe in multiple Gods. That's paganism and idolatry.
Strictly follow the laws in whatever sacred book their God is described in. They put allegiance to those laws above that of any earthly law or government or man.
Don't believe they can become gods or like gods. That is what Satan tried to do, which earned him an eternal curse.
Don't practice "smorgasbord religion". For instance, they don't write their own divine law or bible or pick subsets of all faiths to make their own hodge-podge religion. This is nothing but a self-serving way to escape accountability or liability under any single divine law. Click here for details.
Anyone who meets the above criteria, we believe, is capable of being worthy to deserve liberty, which the Declaration of Independence points out comes only from "Nature's God". Government should not be used to either establish a religion or to disestablish one, or to promote Christianity over any other faith. To do otherwise would be to deprive people of all faiths the "equal protection of the laws" (see Great IRS Hoax, section 4.3.2). You answer to your God, and not us. We are not the judge of whether you have satisfied the laws of your God and to do otherwise would make us into bigots and zealots. We are, however, the judge of whether you are injuring your neighbor, which is the subject of the last six commandments of the ten commandments and the origin of all moral and legal authority that the government has. We assume that role as a jurist and a voter. Beyond keeping people from injuring each other, governments and religions should BOTH leave people alone to do as they please, and not force them to subsidize or participate in things they don't believe in. Thomas Jefferson said it best, when he said:
"With all [our] blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow citizens--a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities."
[Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801. ME 3:320]Churches should also ensure that government's don't get into the charity or the welfare business, because the laws of my God say that these are the exclusive province of the family and the church, and NOT the government. By instituting income taxes, the government is usurping sovereignty from churches and families and from individuals.
One very important reason the bible quotes are so prevalent on our website is to grab people's hearts. If their minds are engaged but their hearts aren't, then they won't be willing to fight. Without a fight, the problems will get worse. The only limit of tyrants is the degree to which an apathetic citizenry will tolerate their abuses. The social problems documented on Family Guardian are primarily evidence of spiritual decay, immorality, apathy, and selfishness. These diseases are destroying our society and they are primarily political diseases which require a political and spiritual change. Spiritual problems need a spiritual remedy. We have a society without morals because we don’t teach morality in schools and government has been destroying families and undermining churches so that kids don't have an opportunity to learn morality in these classical contexts. This has made them easy prey for tyrants. Hence, we must overcompensate by reviving the study of morality on our site so that people will be willing to take up arms and mobilize to fight the evil. People have become so jaded and desensitized by TV and media culture that it seems there is nothing that will awaken them from their hedonistic stupor any more. Law is a moral code and a contract that the Sovereign people got together and agreed on. It is based on reason and logic. Law is just the vehicle to implement the needed political changes. It is a tool, but not the end. Morality is the end, and religion is the basis for all morality. Who better to learn the "laws" of morality from than "Nature's God". We only quote the Bible, because that is what we are most familiar with, but if you went to any other sacred book, you would find the same laws of morality, whether it be the Quran, The Teachings of Buddha or Confucius, or any other sacred text. Don't get obsessed with the source or the name of the book, because that will only generate conflict that the government will try to exploit to prevent us from combining forces to eliminate the evil. Instead, focus on the moral laws revealed. Try to treat the Bible less as a religion and more simply as a law book. You obviously enjoy the study of law or you wouldn't be visiting our website to begin with. Why is that so hard? Such an approach will keep the discussion focused objectively on morality and logic and establish a common set of beliefs that we all share which can become the basis for cooperation in effecting political change.
According to several of our founding fathers, when a people forget or repress God, then tyrants forge their chains:
"It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains ..."
[Patrick Henry]“Those people who are not governed by GOD will be ruled by tyrants.”
[William Penn (after which Pennsylvania was named)]"A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate."
[Thomas Jefferson: Rights of British America, 1774. ME 1:209, Papers 1:134]"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?"
[Thomas Jefferson : Notes on Virginia Q.XVIII, 1782. ME 2:227]“Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.”
[Benjamin Franklin]"Propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained."
[George Washington (1732-1799)]You, an admitted atheist who rejects God and morality, deserve an immoral and tyrannical government that acts like a false god, steals your property, and lies to you. If you are going to insist on a world without God, then we insist on your world being without us or the benefit of ANY of our materials. We too believe in separation of church and state. We are the "church" (believer) and you are obviously the "state" (atheist). Lets separate. You go to HELL and we'll go to Heaven. If you don't believe there is a HELL, then we'll just have to wait and see about that, friend! The real nut case is you, who wants the golden eggs but kills the goose that lays them.
“Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares, she cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city she speaks her words; how long, you simple [atheist] ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge. Turn at my rebuke; surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, because you disdained my counsel [and My law: God's law], and would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror [and the IRS] comes. When your terror [and the IRS] comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. Because they hated knowledge [and were too lazy and complacent to seek it out], and did not choose the fear of the Lord. They have none of my counsel and despised my every rebuke. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled to the full with their own fancies. For the turning away of the simple will slay them. And the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me [God and the wisdom that comes ONLY from God] will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil.”
[Prov. 1:20-33, Bible, NKJV]
Question 0.5: Your website and the materials on it are superb! Do I have your permission to link to your website and distribute or sell your materials on CD-ROM or in print? Can I mirror your website?
Answer 0.5: Thanks for your kind words, encouragement, and interest. Provided that the following requirements identified in section 13 of our Help page, then you are encouraged to do as you request:
Question 0.6: The Bible, in Prov. 20:2 says "The wrath of the king is like a roaring lion; Whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life." Because your website appears to mock many aspects of government behavior, it would appear to me that you violate that scripture and endanger your own safety by inviting the wrath of public officials.
Answer 0.6: In our country the PEOPLE, not the President or the Congress, are the sovereigns and therefore the kings in a biblical sense. The government and the Congress are their servants. Even our Supreme Court agrees with this notion.
"Sovereignty itself is, of course, not subject to law, for it is the author and source of law; but in our system, while sovereign powers are delegated to the agencies of government, sovereignty itself remains with the people, by whom and for whom all government exists and acts."
[Yick Wo, v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356; 6 S.Ct. 1064 (1886)]"The people of this State, as the successors of its former sovereign, are entitled to all the rights which formerly belonged to the King by his prerogative. Through the medium of their Legislature they may exercise all the powers which previous to the Revolution could have been exercised either by the King alone, or by him in conjunction with his Parliament; subject only to those restrictions which have been imposed by the Constitution of this State or of the U.S."
[Lansing v. Smith, 21 D. 89., 4 Wendel 9 (1829) (New York)]The “king” has every right to do with his servants what he wishes. They are his "property" and his stewardship alone and he is answerable only to God for what he does as the sovereign. On this website and in our Great IRS Hoax book, we rebuke unlawful and therefore evil BEHAVIOR rather than evil people. To condemn and legally prosecute their harmful and illegal actions is to pursue justice against our collective servants, that is our public servants. It is indeed ludicrous to suggest that corrupted and criminal servants in government are the only ones who can pursue or enforce justice and that the sovereigns are not empowered directly to do so if the servants have neglected their stewardship and attempted to take over the house. Here is what the Bible says our duty is as the sovereign when a servant gets out of line:
“But if that servant says in his heart ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.”
[Luke 12:45-47, Bible, NKJV]Trusting lawyers to police themselves or be honest and honorable is a recipe for disaster and tyranny. Does anyone like or even trust lawyers these days? All they are interested in is money and power, and they have enslaved most of our culture with their greed and sophistry:
“The Lord is well pleased for His righteousness’ sake; He will exalt the law and make it honorable. But this is a people robbed and plundered! [by the IRS] All of them are snared in [legal] holes [by the sophistry of greedy IRS lawyers], and they are hidden in prison houses; they are for prey, and no one delivers; for plunder, and no one says, “Restore!”.
Who among you will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come? Who gave Jacob for plunder, and Israel to the robbers? [IRS] Was it not the Lord, He against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in His ways, nor were they obedient to His law, therefore He has poured on him the fury of His anger and the strength of battle; it has set him on fire all around, yet he did not know; and it burned him, yet he did not take it to heart.”
[Isaiah 42:21-25, Bible, NKJV]If these arrogant and covetous public servants who occupy public offices today really were the "king", then you would be right, but they aren't. They want to deceive everyone into believing that they are the king, but this simply is not the case: you and me are!
On the other hand, Proverbs 21:7 says:
"The violence of the wicked will destroy them because they refuse to do justice."
[Prov. 21:7, Bible, NKJV]Justice in America for our public servants is to remind them that they are precisely that: servants. We explain very clearly in sections 2.1, 2.2 and 4.1 of the Great IRS Hoax book that the law imposes on our public servants and public officials a "fiduciary relationship" in relation to us as the sovereigns, and that this relationship imposes the highest standard of care under law. If they exceed their delegated authority and thereby act unlawfully, then we have a duty as the sovereigns to rebuke and punish this sin or eventually we will be destroyed by their violence because we refuse to do justice as God's law requires.
For those of you in government inclined to want to shoot the messenger and your fellow coworker (me) rather than heed the message, I'd like to remind you that it is ILLEGAL and a "prohibited personnel practice" to discriminate against whistleblowers who expose federal corruption and/or violation of law under 5 U.S.C. §2302(b)(8). Any person who engages in such illegal activities may be subject to criminal prosecution and dismissal from federal government service. Those persons who might feel inclined to contact my private employer or institute disciplinary action against me for anything on this website, which collectively are a reflection of my religious and political views, is engaged in a "prohibited personnel practice" as legally defined.
Question 0.7: Great presentation on taxes. Overall you have done a great job, with a broad list of issues. How about lightening up on morality, feminism and life in general? Your position against sexual diversity- health consideration are certainly valid, but the rest of your rhetoric makes you sound like a heathen Pork-Eater or something. (Kosher is King!). I worship God, not Levitical Priests. And not King James. I follow Christ's message and example, not the Hebrew model. As excited about your site as I am, I am somewhat embarrassed to share it, based on your anti-femi-nazi-ism and promotion of morality-based hate mongering. [EDITORIAL: This inquiry, by the way, was written by a libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate!]
Answer 0.7: We think what you might be trying to say is that we may sound too legalistic or judgmental. We don't hate people, we hate sin and bad behavior that violates law--God's law. This is exactly the same thing that policemen do: fight criminal behavior but act respectful toward the criminal, thus "hating and punishing crime" while trying to help and reform the criminal. God does the same thing: He loves the sinner but he hates the sin. We point out in section 4.1 of the Great IRS Hoax book that God designed our government so that the people are the sovereigns and the government are their servants. Isn't it hypocritical to say that individual sovereign citizens are not authorized to condemn and discourage bad or criminal behavior but their servants in the government can? That is a double standard that simply won't work. We can't on the one hand be self-governing men and women of God who don't want government interfering with our lives without also practicing some measure of discipline and punishment of evil at a personal level. Government simply can't and doesn't have a monopoly on disciplining criminal behavior, and any behavior that violates God's law is just as criminal as behavior that violates man's law.
"We have staked the whole future of American Civilization not upon the power of Government, far from it. We have staked the future...upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
[James Madison]Everything we advocate is entirely consistent with God's law found in both the old and the new testament and we back every aspect of our position with scriptures in the Family Constitution. Your issues with our approach towards feminism are addressed in the new testament in Eph. 5:22-24, where it says:
"Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in everything.
If a woman isn't married, then there is nothing wrong with expecting equal pay for equal work or equal opportunity between the sexes. However, the recent trend in our increasingly global society is:
Conflict within marriages because both spouses want to have the last say. This kind of chaos and conflict only breaks families apart, as evidenced by the very high divorce rate of over 50% throughout most of America. Someone has to be in charge, and God said it is the man when there is a tie, but many women will no longer accept this and are in direct disobedience to God because of their rebellion against authority.
The high family conflict and high divorce rate means that far too many children grow up in single parent homes. This leads to many increased risk factors, none of which are helpful for children, such as:
Teen suicide
Teenage pregnancy
Drugs
Smoking
Violence
School delinquency
Gang activities
For women to put their career ahead of their family or children or getting married, and this is the opposite of what God expects in Prov. 31, and contributes eventually to the extinction of a race. In Europe, for instance, the population is actually shrinking and there is an explosion in the old age community with no younger members of society around to support the aging older people. This byproduct of feminism creates long-term problems for society that it doesn't propose solutions for. The rebellion of women against authority started with Eve when she disobeyed God by eating the fruit.
We also cover the subject of feminism in our article entitled "Feminism is Socialism" and although we didn't write that article, we agree 100% with it.
On the subject of morality, our Family Constitution book very clearly documents what our moral standards must be from a biblical standpoint. Anything else would be disobedience towards God. Keep in mind the following very important fact:
"The essence of worship is obedience."
"Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the LORD?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,
And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the LORD,
He also has rejected you from being king[and sovereign over your government]."
[1 Sam. 15:22-23, Bible, NKJV]The introduction to Chapter 1 of our Great IRS Hoax explains why it is our responsibility and stewardship to God to ensure that our government is ethical, moral, and free of conflict of interest at all times. Below is an excerpt from that portion of the book which explains why morality and ethics and "hate-mongering" as you call it is part of our biblical calling and one of the methods by which we are sanctified and set apart form the rest of the world. If you are going to condemn us for doing what God expects, then you're going to have to explain how we can be politically correct and still obey scripture. There doesn't appear to be any way to do that to us.
If our agents and servants and representatives in government obtain our money through deceit, dishonesty, immorality, and unlawful and evil acts, like most of the people who work for the IRS, then our means of living is counted as covetousness and evil, which is a grave sin according to Jesus in Luke 12:13-21. The Bible says in no uncertain terms that we should find such evil behavior contemptible and abominable and rebuke it publicly and frequently, as you will see below. And for those of you who think that hating what the IRS does to destroy our liberties is not a biblical or family value or is wrong, we refer you to the following scriptures contradicting such a misinformed conclusion, and notice that the focus of the hatred is not people, but bad and evil behavior and the organizations and laws that foster it (God loves the sinner, but he hates the sin because sin hurts our brother and separates us from God and the people around us):
“If God had been a Liberal, we wouldn't have had the Ten Commandments, we'd have had the Ten Suggestions.”
[Malcolm Bradbury]“You who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.”
[Psalms 97:10, Bible, NKJV]“An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous: and he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.”
[Prov 29:27, Bible, NKJV]“The boastful shall not stand in your sight: You hate all workers of iniquity.”
[Psalms 5:5, Bible, NKJV]“Through Your precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
[Psalms 119:104, Bible, NKJV]“Let us hear the conclusion of this whole matter: Fear [respect] God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.”
[Eccl. 12:13-14, Bible, NKJV]“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.”
[Proverbs 8:13, Bible, NKJV]“Do not let your heart envy sinners, but be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day; for surely there is a hereafter, and your hope will not be cut off.”
[Prov. 23:17, Bible, NKJV]“By humility and fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.”
[Prov. 22:4, Bible, NKJV]“These six things the Lord hates, yes seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look.
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans, [IRS revenue agents]
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who speaks lies, [IRS]
And one who sows discord among brethren.” [illegally imposed income taxes and the financial problems they create destroy families, and the number one cause of divorce is disputes over money]
[Prov. 6:16-19, Bible, NKJV]“Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.” [Psalms 139:21-22, Bible, NKJV]
“I hate and abhor lying, But I love Your law.”
[Psalms 119:163, Bible, NKJV]“Through your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way.”
[Psalms 119:104, Bible, NKJV]“A righteous man hates lying, But a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame.”
[Prov. 13:5, Bible, NKJV]“For everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: ….. A time to love, and a time to hate.”
[Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, Bible, NKJV]“But those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will come upon them.”
[Prov. 24:25, Bible, NKJV]“He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward than he who flatters with the tongue.”
[Prov. 28:23, Bible, NKJV]God, in the scriptures above, even commands us above to reprove and rebuke evil when we encounter it, and we can’t rebuke that which we can’t judge, so we better judge!:
“Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
[John 7:24, Jesus speaking in the Bible]“Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.”
[Luke 17:3, Bible, NKJV. QUESTION: How can you rebuke as Jesus commands here if you can’t first judge or discern bad behavior?]“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose [rebuke] them.”
[Eph. 5:11, Bible, NKJV]"The violence of the wicked will destroy them because they refuse to do justice."
[Prov. 21:7, Bible, NKJV]God’s holy word should be the only basis for our rebuke of the sin of others in the world:
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
[2 Tim. 3:16-17, Bible, NKJV]Even the Apostle Paul, who some people falsely say told us not to judge, rebuked those who taught falsehoods, and his words below pretty much sum up exactly the state the IRS and our deceitful government is in today and what it is doing to pervert our nation. Here are his strong words of rebuke, from Titus 1:10-16:
“For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers [at the IRS], specially they of the circumcision:
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses [and families], teaching [and saying] things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's [money’s] sake.
One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own [IRS Commissioner Rossotti], said, The Cretians [are] always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies [the tax protesters].
This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them [IRS and government] sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Not giving heed to Jewish fables [in this case, the Internal Revenue Manual or the IRS Publications], and commandments of men [their 800 telephone support service, that gives wrong advice over 60% of the time by the IRS’ own admission], that turn from the truth.
Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure [the IRS and the Congress]; but even their mind and conscience is defiled [their conscience has been warped because they took a bribe, in violation of Exodus 23:8].
They profess that they know God [and at least PRETEND that they love their brother and the people they serve]; but in [EVIL] works they deny [Him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”
Does it sound like the Apostle Paul was NOT judging above, and if he was, then why shouldn’t we also? He was rebuking EVIL, which is exactly what God commands us to do throughout the Bible. His approach derives from the following scriptures:
“For the commandment is a lamp, and the law [God’s law] the light; Reproofs of instruction are a way of life..”
[Prov. 6:23, Bible, NKJV]“Rebuke one who has understanding and he will discern knowledge.”
[Prov. 19:25, Bible, NKJV]“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
[Romans 13:9, Bible, NKJV]“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.”
[Rev. 3:18, Bible, NKJV]If our faith be not evidenced by such works of reproof and rebuke, then of what political good can we be in the world with such DEAD faith (see James 2:17-20)? The only reason for any Christian to think otherwise is IGNORANCE of what God’s word says. Ignorance and sin are the enemy, and the only way to eliminate these two evils are rebuke and education of those who perpetrate them to inform them of their error and encourage them to remedy it. Based on the scriptures above, if you are going to accuse the author of spreading a message of hate, you will also have to commit blasphemy against a sovereign God by telling Him that He is wrong or else be accused as a hypocrite. In the process of doing this, you risk suffering His wrath on judgment day. See section 1.7 later for further treatment of the sin of ignorance. If you would like to know more about why you must rebuke and reprove and judge in order to do justice as the Lord commands, read our series on “A Call for Discernment” by John MacArthur on our website at:
How should we rebuke sin? The Bible once again tells us:
“And the servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.”
[2 Tim. 2:24-26, Bible, NKJV]Another good book about why you can’t remain passive or politically isolated either as a citizen or as a Christian is the following:
Why You Can’t Stay Silent: A Biblical Mandate to Shape Our Culture
by Tom Minnery
Tyndale House Publishers, Wheaton, Illinois
ISBN 1-56179-925-4This website therefore represents our attempt to fulfill the Godly calling described above of judging and rebuking evil on a grand scale within our own government. It is not a message of hate, but of love toward hard-working Americans everywhere who deserve a lot more respect and loving behaviors from their government for their rights than they have been getting of late. Likewise, for those of you who already have your act together and have been informed of the truth by this website, our hats are off to you and we want to thank you and pray for God’s blessings and His grace upon you.
Question 0.8: Aren't you worried that because the government has been shutting down so many tax honesty websites, that they will try to shut you down as well?
Answer 0.8: The thing that all the tax websites have in common that the corrupt IRS and DOJ have shutdown over the last few years is that all of them without exception are in business to make money and their content is therefore classified as commercial speech. This includes the following former websites:
http://www.nite.org: Run by Thurston Bell and shut down in January 2003
http://www.taxinformer.com: Run by Chad Prater and shut down Dec. 2002.
http://www.paynoincometax.com: Run by Irwin Schiff. His book the Federal Mafia was banned in April 2003.
http://www.joyfoundation.com: Run by Jack Malone and shut down Oct 21, 2002.
http://www.taxgate.com: Run by Rick Briant, shut down 4/12/2003.
All of the above websites and several others have been shut down over the last few years because they were "promoting" what the government calls "false commercial speech". "promoting" means selling. The government in all the above cases never actually met the burden of proving that the content of these sites was false and never indicated exactly what aspect of their offerings was false. They simply put a label on the sites and
