Nevertheless, the question that lingers in my mind is how can an entire nation of intelligent individuals not even be remotely aware of the fact that the U. S. Supreme Court made this decision during the 1930's, thereby making it the "law of the land," so to speak. As a result of the U. S. Supreme Court's ruling, every employee of the IRS (as well as all employers who demand that employees submit to this illegal form of taxation in order to be employed) are, in fact, accessories to high crime and fraud against the American people.

Approximately one-third of each employee's wages go directly to the payment of "income" taxes, in direct violation of the U. S. Supreme Court's ruling on this matter. And, to make matters worse, most of the money does not remain in the U. S. Treasury, but instead is transferred directly to the "privately-owned" Federal Reserve in order to pay off the "national debt." This so-called "debt" can never be paid in full, nor would the people responsible for creating this debt want it to be paid, for they are able to amass huge sums of money from interest on previous loans that led to the creation of this debt, as well as use this debt to "control" our government, our country, and our economy.

We are speaking about the "Global Elite," a group of super wealthy individuals (with a combined wealth in excess of sixty trillion dollars) who loan huge sums of money to countries all over the world by manipulating wars and other conflicts through a process known as "playing one country's government against another" (similar to the old Machiavellian principle of "divide and conquer"). This process was very successful and instrumental (as well as lucrative) during World Wars I and II, Vietnam and the Gulf War. For further information, David Icke can provide you with all the specific details in his outstanding book entitled And The Truth Shall Set You Free, also currently available in our bookstore. I will provide you with a more in-depth review of his powerful book in one of the next issues of Community Connexions.

"The Pink Papers" provides you with 15 pages of specific details pertaining to (1) why you do NOT have to file a tax return if your income is primarily wages, (2) why it is NOT a crime, and (3) the basic defenses for your personal lawyer. This intra-departmental report on defending our tax exempt wages was never meant for public consumption. Nevertheless, since the ultimate appellate court is the U. S. Supreme Court, we must look to them for a definite answer regarding the question of conformance and affirmation of the IRS's "little secret" that wages are not classified as income which can be taxed.

The Court has recognized that ... "it becomes essential to distinguish between what is, and what is not, 'income' " (Eisner v Macomber, 252 U.S. 189 (1920)), and further determined that the "... 'income' as used in the statute should be given a meaning so as not to include everything that comes in, as the true function of the words 'gains' and 'profits' is to limit the meaning of the word 'income' " (So. Pacific v Lowe, 238 F 847) (U.S. District Court S.D.N.Y. 1917, 247 U.S. 30 (1918)).

The Court determined that "...the definition of income approved by the Court is 'the gain derived from capital, from labor, or from both combined, provided it be understood to include profits gained through sale or conversion of capital assets' " (Eisner Supra).

The Court further determined that "...income within the meaning of the 16th Amendment and the Revenue Act means 'gain'...and in such connection, gain means 'profit'... proceeding from property severed from capital, however invested or employed and coming in, received or drawn by the taxpayer for his separate use, benefit and disposal" (Staples v U.S., 21 F. Supp. 737 (U.S. District Court ED PA, 1937).

In the case of Lucas v Earl, 281 U.S. 111 (1930), the U. S. Supreme Court stated unambiguously that "the claim that salaries, wages and compensation for personal services are to be taxed as an entirety and therefore must be returned by the individual who has performed the services which produced the gain is without support either in the language of the Act or in the decisions of the courts construing it. Not only this, but it is directly opposed to provisions of the Act and to regulations of the U. S. Treasury Dept. which either prescribe or permit that compensation for personal services be not taxed as an entirety and be not returned by the individual performing the services. It is to be noted that, by the language of the Act, it is not salaries, wages or compensation for personal services that are to be included in gross income. That which is to be included is gains, profits and income derived from salaries, wages or compensation for personal services.

The Court ruled similarly in Goodrich v Edwards, 255 U.S. 527 (1921) and, in 1969, in Connor v U.S. 303 F Supp. 1187, that "whatever may constitute income, therefore must have the essential feature of gain to the recipient. This was true when the 16th Amendment became effective; it was true at the time of Eisner v Macomber Supra; it was true under Section 22 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1938; and, it is likewise true under Section 61 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. If there is not gain, there is not income...Congress has taxed income and not compensation."

"...one does not derive income by rendering services and charging for them" (Edwards v Keith, 231 FI 11, 1916).

Even at the State level, we find courts following the lead of the U. S. Supreme Court: "There is a clear distinction between profit and wages (or compensation for labor)." Compensation for labor cannot be regarded as profit within the meaning of the law (Oliver v Halstead, 196 Va. 992, 86 S.E. 2d 858, 1955), and "...reasonable compensation for labor or services rendered is not profit" (Lauderdale Cemetary Assoc. v Matthews, 345 Pa. 239, 47 A. 2d 277,280, 1946).

Since the above cases are the undisputable law with respect to what is (or is not) income, we find the word "income" does not mean all monies that come into the possession of an individual, but profit or gain FROM the money an individual receives, such as interest, stock dividends, and profit from an employee's labors (but not from a person's wages, which are compensation for their labor). This means that the average person in America, who has no large investments or riches upon which he/she receives interest, dividends, etc., in excess of the amounts listed in the statute, but merely works for wages, has income insufficient in amount to be required to file a tax return.

As a final note, I must ask all of you who are reading this the following question: If all government agencies are "public servants" by law, and are, in effect, acting merely as "employees" of the American citizens, then that makes each of us an "employer," does it not? Since when does an employee dictate any matters to an employer, particularly when it involves intent to commit fraud?

It appears that all American taxpayers are now eligible to receive the largest cumulative tax refund going all the way back to the 1930's. I am most certain that the U.S. Supreme Court, by its own ruling, must (and will) support your efforts towards procuring your own individual cumulative tax refund, as well as those of your immediate families and relatives. I am also certain that the U. S. Supreme Court will make every effort to determine the identities and subsequent punishments of all the guilty parties that assisted in perpetrating this fraud against the American people. So what are you waiting for?

"... the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth!"
