The IRS is falling apart, which is great news. Right?
Anyone reading this may be saying, “this is music to my ears”.
The Treasury Inspector General for the Tax Administration admits that the IRS is systematically destroying data for around 30 million filers. This comes with the struggle by the IRS to hire and maintain staff to process the backlog of paper returns. While some are happy to hear this news, those in the tax community are angry.
For years, maybe decades, people have reluctantly reported income and filed returns. Thinking it to be the duty of the taxpayer. If they knew it was a voluntary system, they would be livid.
If you consider the history of the 1040 form, you would know that the form was created by President Lincoln in 1861 as a means to raise money during the war. It was never meant to be permanent. But as with any government program, if it benefits the elite and file their deep pockets, it will remain in effect as long as the people comply.
When we research the taxation in the form of the Income tax return, we learn that it’s unconstitutional. Congress repealed income taxes in 1872, but they were revived in 1894.
In 1895, however, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the income tax to be unconstitutional. That didn’t stop Congress from proposing it again as the 16th Amendment, where they set in place the federal income-tax system we see today. It was illegally ratified by the corporate Government in 1913. Conveniently, right around the time the Federal Reserve Banking system took effect. See Jekyll Island for more information on the Fed.
Everyday we learn something new. That is, if we take the time to do our research.
