The Ratification of 16th Amendment and the Assault on Freedom

Among the worst events, 97 years ago this week a progressive income tax was made possible in the United States. Prior to this time the Federal Government paid all of its bills (including the salaries of congressmen, presidents, federal judges, et al) from the levies and duties it collected. There was no tax on individual citizens.

For more than 150 years the country was spared a progressive income tax because (a) the Constitution specifically forbade one and (b) the courts upheld the Constitutional prohibition.

But neither was able to deter the domestic advocates of this plank right out of the Communist Manifesto forever, unfortunately, and on Feb. 3, 1913, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified. A federal income tax and the authority to enforce it—the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)—soon followed.

Today, almost a century later, the average American toils for nearly five months to earn the money to pay the federal behemoth. It’s still not enough to balance the books, however, as the national debt is growing by $1.4 trillion a year. — Chip Wood ~ Liberty Alerts

1. Make sure house bill HR 450 is passed and in effect. (It forces all bills to meet a Constitutional litmus test.)

2. End the control of our monetary system by the Federal Reserve Bank. (Solution was established in 1943, see free downloadable book entitled “Land Lords of the World.”)

3. Demand Standards of public officials as listed on this link. What People Expect From Their Elected and Appointed Representatives.

4. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 - After 234 years government run mail has not been successful - get rid of it. Sell it off to private industry, offer it to FedEX, UPS, DHL or any one interested in taking parts, all, or whatever. Provide a safe guard of retirement to those employees that have been promised such with the sell off. Put the money in the General Treasury.

4. Social Security was established in 1935 - After 74 years it has been robbed, mismanaged and totally bankrupt. Phase it out through attrition keeping the promise to those currently on it, and privatize it with options. There are plenty of plans and options suggested to get this rolling.

5. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - Now over 44 years and same as above, mismanaged, expanded and broke. Do the same as with Social Security, privatize it. Government does not belong in the insurance business or the health business, and it is totally not constitutional for it to do so. We all know there are plenty of insurance companies that can do a far better job at this and I bet cheaper and without being robbed from by politicians. Let’s get this done.

6. Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - Seventy one (71) years into the loan business and look what Congress has done with it. Fire these SOB’s and put in back where it belongs, in the private sector, but remember, we have to get rid of the Federal Reserve Bank’s control over regulation and fractional reserves. Again see the book Land Lords of the world or World Held Hostage by debt to become knowledgeable in these areas, or see any of the many information sites on the Internet.

Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - 39 years of making a mess - same as above for the cure.

7. The "War on Poverty" started in 1964 - 45 years of entitlements (unconstitutional) never focused or money spent where it really should have been. Government controlled and run. Well guess who has always done a better job. Yup, private charities and faith based organizations in the private sector. Stop this crap immediately and provide tax breaks for those who support these worthy organizations and causes. Stop government fraud and abuse. Think ACORN. If ACORN wants to exists, fine, they can, but not with tax dollars.

8. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

9. Stop the unconstitutional redistribution of money through TARP, STIMULUS, CASH for Clunkers, and every other contrived scheme of control thought up by greedy politicians and businessman. In short, stop tampering in the private sector. It’s called RISK and FREE ENTERPRISE.

10. There are probably 3,000 bills or more on the books related to “Thou shall not kill.” How many different ways must people be told things that are basic to society survival? Get real and stop this idea that Congress goes to work each day to make a new law. Enough already!

Instead of going to work to make more convoluted laws that must be interpreted by the Supreme Court, clean up the books on the crap you have there now. This is what you should be going to work to do. Check them for Constitutionally for starters.

11. And for goodness sake, try using plain common sense. We don’t need lawyers and lobbyists making rules and laws for the people. We just need honest common sense people who love God, family, fellow men and community.

12. Amtrak government run since 1971 - broke - taxpayer boondoggle. Get rid of it also. Business knows how to run business far better than government does or ever will. Stop trying to be a Marxist government and a Socialist government. We’re were not established that way, nor do we the people want to be. - Stop stifling free enterprise with over regulation and unreal controls.

This is a list of 12 things that will take scores of years to clean up and correct. Why not get to work and do it. Stop making politics a career and one of personal gain. Clean up your personal act, if necessary. I might add to the list one more item. Stop all the hidden taxes you add to we the people. You know, like the phone bills that are over 100% taxed. Yah, that's right, more than 50% of my total phone bill is for taxes of every kind. Stop this sneaky crap and try being honest for a change. Again, just abide by the Constitution and we and you will be just fine.

Congress people and Senators get to work serving we the people by doing the 10 things mentioned above for a limited number of terms and then go home. Enjoy your family. Enjoy life. Work a real job. I bet you will do just fine like the rest of us have to. Let the next person come in and serve his country in the same manner. There is no reason for far Left nor far Right, just abide by what we were given as a model and standard - The Constitution of the United States.

And lastly, stop trying to destroy the Constitution or bastardizing it. If you don’t like the Constitution, find it abhorring, there are plenty of other countries to try that do not have the same Constitution. They may welcome you with open arms, or perhaps with pointed arms. Your choice.

God bless America and all the true Patriots that appreciate the gift we have been given and must protect.

Daniel J. Stafford

Thank you for coming - Dan

Enough of what, you may ask! Enough of what is happening in Washington D.C. The rapid passing of new legislation, spending, the manipulation of laws, provision for new hidden taxes, IRS rules that comprise thousands of pages that even IRS employees don’t understand. All designed to use and target individuals and companies in order to control by brutal submission. Total it up and you get the loss of freedom for the citizens of the United States.

Is it any wonder that at last count, 25 states have organizations formed in a quest to secede from the Union?

People from all walks of life are at the point of feed up with these actions coming from Congress and the Senate for years. They are tired of the Constitution of the United States being abused and ignored.

My two Senators voted for the “Hate-Crime Bill.” We hear a lot of negative effects that will result from the bill and that it is redundant. The justice system is supposed to be blind to race, creed, color, or life style. Is it not? Are those that voted for this saying things are not treated fairly within the Justice system? Or, is the intent to slant the judicial system?

I heard an Evangelical preacher say “God has abandoned the United States of America.” He will provide the proof using the book of Romans Chapter 1 to point this out.

Upon reading Romans chapter 1, I read with interest what was in Verses 18-32. It hit home in a flash as to Washington’s blindness and actions. It is clear what is happening today. We are giving into perversity.

God has never really abandon people. People have abandon God. We’ve taken him out of our schools, our government, our way of life. We have made ourselves gods. The 10 commandments were not good enough for us. So we removed them from the halls of justice and have replaced them with tens of thousands of laws and the list of them continues to grow in Congress and the Senate and through executive orders.

This is the principle of lording over people. It’s been going on for centuries. One Guy came along to improve the system, but we crucified Him and continue to do so today.

There are some that want us to believe our country was not founded on Judea Christian principles and values. There is plenty of evidence that proves otherwise.

I recently learned we have states that do not provide a way to verify whether a person has voted more than once. Without this basic safeguard in place, how can any election be trusted as valid? A quick Google search will provide information to states that allow people to walk into any voting precinct and vote. No computer check to see if they are a legal, or properly registered, no printed registry. Once a person has voted they can simply go to another precinct, and vote again. Any wonder how some individuals have won an election.

In less than five minutes, I found this to be so in Ohio and Wisconsin. I stopped my research there to make time to write this essay. Who needs help for voter fraud from ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). It is easy to do with the lack of a proper system in place within some states. I understand that ACORN has changed their name due to the many investigations of fraud and money mis-handling.

Then there is Minnesota where the leftwing activist group ACORN was busy, registering every warm body they could find. They were aided by Minnesota’s absurd same-day registration law. In Minnesota, election officials trust but don’t verify. How many illegal immigrants, felons, non-residents and other ineligibles did ACORN manage to get to the polls? We’ll never know. But you can bet it was a whole lot more than Al Franken’s razor-thin margin of victory. (excerpt from http://www.personalliberty.com/personal-liberty-articles/they-stole-that-election-fair-and-square/ )

Obviously, Washington D.C. is not the only thing that is broke. If a state has issues that allow for bad elections, how can those same votes be trusted to be valid when sending people to Washington.

How about starting in the proverbial backyard? People generally do not take responsibility to educate themselves to prevent state and federal government from stealing liberties from us. Why not? Because it takes time and effort, and people often feel intimidated in the process of doing so. We often hide behind a basic principle believing that things will balance out and that by human nature people are trustworthy and will do the right thing. We’ve given up our right to be involved in a process that governs us. It’s now a runaway train that without switching tracks or putting on the brakes, we will suffer the consequences of a total train wreck.

We have not been paying attention. Some label it as apathy. There are abuses, violations of trust, breaking of laws, at the local, state, and national level. Worse, many times those with authority to investigate and remove individuals fail in their responsibility to discharge their duties.

All of our lack of attention has led us to an out of control government, non-responsive to the constituents, allowing ourselves to be over governed and over taxed. Soon our life expectancy will be determined by government run "Health Care." Actually, it is currently happening through Medicare and Medicaid.

We all know on the front end of life that life expectancy is controlled. It’s called abortion. It’s a safe bet to say it will be on the opposite end as well. Watch what “National Health Care” will do to us as we get older. We have relinquished those inalienable rights. We have discarded the commandment; “Thou shall not kill.”

That brings us to another concern leading to destruction of freedom. Our education system has been infiltrated with rewritten history to fit those that wish to control the world and govern the thinking of the masses. All one has to do is read what their grandchildren or children are provided from the public schools and in our universities. Compare it to what was provided in the 40's, 50's and 60's. Better yet, pick up the book, “Under God” authored by two young men, one white and one black. Toby Mac and Michael Tait. Very interesting read. Truth can still be found. Luckily, unlike the Nazi’s, we haven’t burned all those books yet, we have just provided other books with missing information, half truths, and even untruths.

We can be thankful there are groups of activists that question what is going on and take a position of opposition. There are many that look at such action as being extreme. In fact, our very own government officials have labeled people with good moral fiber and character as being “Right Wing Extremists.” Nonetheless, there is hardly anyone that does not feel in their heart and mind that something is not right with Washington D.C. and our state and local communities. That’s because it was implanted by God. Yet, due to free will, there are some that do not feel that way. It may be because they feel they have something to gain. I’m talking about those that have ideals that take from others in order to get want they want. And they are often willing to take such action at any costs. Most always at someone else’s expense or sacrifice.

Lets look at a few other questions first.

1. When does a society feel they need to stop curtailment of freedoms and to bring back common sense?

2. Has change come so gradual that it matters not and we have gotten used to out of control government?

3. Has society closed it eyes to excessive taxation on everything we purchase and work for?

(Do we simply feel it is all justifiable? - Of course, taxation done fairly and where needed to serve the majority is justifiable.)

The government knows how to hide taxes very easily in everyday utilities to taxes on labor. Imagine what a “Value Added Tax” will do to your life style. And still to come, the "Cap and Trade Bill" that will add more taxation and the loss of jobs. Did you know that the bill even outlines what must be in your house in order to sell it: e.g. how your windows and doors must be. If not, you cannot sell it. Think of such demands and what it would do to the housing market from then on. Control from the womb to the tomb it has been called.

This summer, I attended the annual meeting of my utility (power)company in Florida. The guest speaker was the president of a large company that provides power to local companies throughout the southeast.

He talked about the Cap and Trade bill and how it would apply a heavy tax on the users. He said if anyone had questions they could talk to him after his presentation. I took that opportunity and asked if his company and other utility companies would be lobbying Washington to prevent this type of legislation from occurring. “Oh no,” he said. I was floored by the answer. Well, why not I asked. Well, you see, utility companies are governed (controlled) by the Federal government through the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). We are allowed to make a profit and our profit is tied to revenue. It does not matter how those revenues are generated. So, a mandated increase in cost is passed on to the consumer, (you and me) and the utility company automatically has an increase in profit. They are assured a percentage of profit per the amount of revenue that is generated. It’s like this. Would you rather have 2% of $100 dollars or 2% of 100,000 dollars?

Again, government regulation has placed the consumer, citizens, at the bottom of the food chain and in the hands of government control in every aspect of our life. Enough yet?

We don’t need to recreate the wheel. Our system of government, if used per the constitution works very well, when not abused.

Lets outline just a few major problems we have.

1. Enough officials have sold themselves out or have developed and demonstrate poor moral character and judgement. When that happens they no longer have the ability to have our best interests in mind. Washington D.C. maintains a hierarchy of leadership and those in the club do the beck and call of their leadership and not that of the people. Their minds are clouded and their ability to see clearly is lost.

2. Unlimited terms of office. (Some states do have limits, but Federal does not. Ever wonder why? - Think control.)

3. States that have sloppy voting procedures that make for a corrupt system.

If these 3 things are changed, the beginning of a larger change can take place.

Thus, people need to lobby or rally within those states to have voting procedures corrected to prohibit this voter fraud from continuing. It matters less that we have uneducated voters, at this point. What matters is there is a fair playing field. At least, then educated and honest voters will have a chance.

Next, we need to support people with a good moral life style, values and character. It matters not whether the candidate comes from an organized group or party. When candidates do NOT have the basics listed above, it’s up to us to let them know they will not be supported in the voting booths. We do not have to accept the lesser of two evils.

Parties or organizations on a national level can be given notice of unacceptable candidates. You do not have to follow in step with party desires. When you don’t it causes fracture. Any organization worth its salt does not want fracture that can take votes elsewhere and forfeit a potential win. Let that be a litmus test. If they care not by not responding with a proper candidate let them know you are going elsewhere for a candidate.

Just keep in mind that looking elsewhere does not imply doing nothing.

Next, there needs to be a platform that consists of the basics such as the candidate promising to promote to the fullest extent changes that reverse the reasons for our current conditions coming out of Washington D.C.

For Example, term limits for all offices, including Federal appointed judges. Life time seats some how just don’t seem right, do they? No wonders they create legislation from the bench. There is no recourse.

Additional ideas:
No more than two terms for any office.

House and Senate seats for state representation should not fall on the same election cycle to provide for balance and experience in office.

After an official has termed out, said official cannot be in the employ of any lobby group for the same amount of years in which they served in office. Further, said candidate cannot turn around and run for a senate seat after serving in the house or vice versa for a period equal to the terms previously served. The idea is to counter an over influence of any party, business or organization.

A valid candidate and there supporters must also guarantee to work toward a real balanced budget without inflated dollars or estimated income. They must work within the confines of the previous year’s actually tax revenue. It matters not what they include or not include in social programs. They must be fiscally responsible the same as citizens are expected to be in their personal life. No more false promises. And certainly no bail outs. We must return to a natural operation of allowing business to succeed and fail upon the real value of the business. This does not curtail making sure businesses do not operate within the confines of fair play. There are plenty of laws on the books to cover that.

My personal belief is that it would not hurt to have a moratorium on any further legislation until we clean up the mess we have made. In fact, we should be removing rules, laws, and legislation from the books. It seems that inevery election cycle, those in office must prove their value by creating more legislation. Give me a break! How about legislation to get rid of bad legislation.

All candidates must agree to sign a contract that includes consequences of resignation and or removal, if found to violate the contract. A platform needs to include promises of no more pork barrel / special interest group spending and line item veto power provided to the president should such occur. Each bills needs to stand on its own without the attachment of so called riders that have nothing to do with the original enactment. Legislation should be introduced and passed to fix this problem.

Further, legislation should be provided that prohibits a president from passing action on his own with executive orders and creating bureaucracy with czars or any other form of governmental growth. All actions must abide by the constitution with checks and balances in place and honored.

All previous executive orders still enforced and any government agency in existence that had not been established within the binds of checks and balances needs to be reviewed to determined if required for the betterment of the majority of society, not a minority. If serving a minority, it becomes a special interest issue. These types of issues need to be addressed within the confines of their geographic locations.

And finally, the removal of the Federal Reserve Bank controlling United States currency. There are scores of excellent books written on this subject to simplify and clarify what our constitution says on this matter and how to rectify it. This should be done on day one. You will see a stop to inflation, and over spending. Not one congressman other than Ron Paul has demonstrated an understanding of proper and constitutional monetary control.

The above is a good place to start. No?

All of the above requires individuals (citizens) to be proactive. If not, we fail and continue the path to enslavement to those who wish to rule over us. The choice is ours. Will we each become proactive? Will we let our voices be heard? Will we take action on such ideas contributed above? Will we as individuals remain divided and provide an excuse to do nothing at this time?

Tomorrow may be too late.

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
