Comment: THE MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR THE [FUNDAMENTAL] TAX REFORM PANEL HAS NOW ARRIVED THE MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR THE [FUNDAMENTAL] TAX REFORM PANEL HAS NOW ARRIVED Re: “America Needs a Better Tax System - 05.13.2005...” -- http://www.taxreformpanel.gov/04132005.pdf _______________________________________________________________________________________ Who am I that am commenting? – A distinguished U.S. American Citizen, Producer and Taxpayer…that’s who I AM… Now for your categorizing “pigeon holes” -- I am a business/several businesses’s (some now defunct due to the IRS's and the income tax code inequitable, unfair, etc. manipulations)... I am a government entity (self-government) _ and have extensively worked with governments (federal divisions, state and local…) as a volunteer activist seeking remedies (and civil/criminal restitution)... I am a sovereign individual that goes to the U.S. Constitution when in doubt about so-called "statutes" and regulations that "operate under color of law" and have absolutely no basis of law: the Supremacy Clause (Law of the Land) that all government officials, federal, state and local are sworn “…to uphold, …preserve and protect...” And lastly, I am an organization/association (see www.cnst.org) or member of associations, any and all that seek redress of grievances, a return to righteousness, rightness of law under the Constitution by which, of which this nation was founded... Also, I am a student of law, history, political dynamics, etc. etc. – Per your call for America Needs a Better Tax System, dated today – Friday, May 13, 2005… THERE ARE THREE SIMPLE STEPS – These are your recommendations to the President and news media. 1. www.fairtax.org 2. www.salestax.org 3. www.myfairtax.org THE MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR THE FUNDAMENTAL TAX REFORM PANEL HAS NOW ARRIVED -- YES "THE MOMENT OF TRUTH" © 2005 ATHOL, IDAHO -- Friday, May 13, 2005 To Whom It May Concern: Re: Putting a halt to ‘reciprocity tax agreements’ -- between the sovereign states and foreign entity (District of Columbia)… _____________________________________________________________________________________ States will be out of business using income taxes when the Fair Tax (or equivalent) passes. -- States depend on IRS filings for data to “validate” assessments. -- Furthermore, the IRS provides (directly/indirectly) personal and proprietary data to the states which they use. The “smoking gun” is when the IRS files a lien, statutory Notice of Deficiency and/or “does ones taxes for them” (which is always in the government’s favor), then the states follow “rote” and likewise file a lien or levy with the local county government (of last known tax address of record via ZIP code plus four). – Take charge of your personal and professional proprietary data; do it now! The way (one good “personal ‘ways and means’”) to put a stop to this nonsense is to copyright (with proper caveats and markings) all tax filing paperwork and insist that the copyright law be upheld… due to recent phenomena of computer and entertainment piracy, the copyright laws now have serious “teeth.” Also contact your local county board of commissioners and insist that they quit allowing the state or federal to file tax liens. – Explain that this affects adversely the county’s tax base, interferes with resource for local business, erodes commerce and places a statutory burden on the county to manage the enforcement instruments. Please feel free to distribute this “far and wide” and by applying the above simple, practical and constitutionally bona-fide steps you CAN make a difference. It has been suggested that use of ZIP codes and Social Security numbers “entrap” people, kind of like asking for the government’s permission to have a “mail stop” and “identification number” and also when one signs a check they validate the “convoluted flow chart” of the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve System and so on where they (the check endorser) underwrite the usury (interest) of fiat “money” which is printed. Each bill (regardless of denomination) costs about 5-cents to produce. We pay interest to the Fed for this money which is ours in the first place… Where does this interest go… to another foreign entity? – Just food for thought. And BTY has the U.S. Congress, the Supreme Court and federal judges and the counties’ attorney and States’ Attorney Generals forgot that Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution is still binding on them: “No State shall… make anything but gold or silver coin a tender in payment of debts…” – this includes confiscatory property taxes and state taxes both consumption and alleged, illicit tax on income. Also, Amendment XIV, Section 1. “…No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” – This implies “equal access” (to Congress members and administration officials… same as elitists) and also implies “equal rights” vs. “civil rights” – a restrictive right. What about the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and churches being subject to the IRS for “non-profit” status in order to operate as a charitable institution, and where people can’t speak out against government or for/against issues without being “subject” to having their “tax exempt” status revoked? – Or what about Amendment IV (the Fourth Amendment) where, “The right of people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches, and seizures, shall not be violated and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath of affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” -- Does anyone read the U.S. Constitution anymore? – It doesn’t look like our government or its officials are upholding the “Law of the Land” – “The Supremacy Clause” – that which they swore to “defend and protect…” and then operate as outlaws under the color of law. This is not a nation operating under the “Rule of Law” but under the “Rule of Lawyers’” – their statutes and jurisprudence mechanizations. FRANK Frank R.

Any state sales taxes are in addition to the Federal Sales Tax. Certainly, after enacting the FairTax, some states may want to make changes to their tax system. Perhaps they will want to broaden their sales tax and provide a rebate, like the FairTax. Perhaps they will decide to replace any income tax with a state version of the FairTax. Perhaps they will freeze a copy of the last version of IRS code/forms and continue to use it as a basis for a state income tax. In the end, it will be up to the voters in each state to make their desires known to their elected representatives.

The City of Chicago charges a 15 percent Hotel Tax. How are these state and municipal retail taxes factored into the national consumption tax? Are they added to the 23 percent? If so, the tax burden keeps going up and up and up. Most states also charge their citizens a flat income tax. What happens to these taxes?
