The best, quickest, easiest way to limit the fed is to use your lawful power of the purse and cut off its funding. Get educated on how to do this at LostHorizons.com. In a nutshell, several hundred thousand honest, law-abiding Americans have, over the last 18 years, secured over $2 billion in 100% refunds from the IRS and over 38 state revenue agencies by simply distinguishing, in a legally meaningful manner, the difference between private sector earnings and federal income. One is protected from the indirect federal income excise tax, and the other is subject to it. The private sector did not start paying the federal income tax until the 1940s, when a program called "withholding at the source" was implemented to a willing publish enthralled with war fever. Prior to then, Abraham Lincon's income tax of July 1, 1862 was only applied to federal workers or those investing in federal railroads or otherwise received federal income. From 1913 to 1940, only about 4% of working, money-making Americans filed income tax returns, but after the private sector started paying into the system, the number of working Americans filing tax returns rose to over 90%. And this had nothing to do with how much they earned, but the fact that in the 1940s, private sector payroll departments started issuing 1099s, W-2s, and such information returns on the private sector. Virtually all of these are fraudulent, and 26 USC 7434 provides for civil damages for fraudulent information returns, because 26 USC 6051 requires that these information returns ONLY report "wages as defined" in sections 3121(a) and 3401(a), and those sections where "wages" is defined in the federal income tax code consist primarily of exceptions of the types of payments from federal employers to federal employees which are excempt from the definition of "wages". The term "wages" absolutely does not apply to payment from private sector companies to those who work for them. And, by rebutting these fraudulent W-2s and 1099s, informed Americans have for nearly two decades exercised their power of the purse and defunded the federal government. But it requires more than just a few hundred thousand Americans upholding the law and requiring the IRS to respect the limits of its taxing authority. There need to be several tens of millions of Americans informed and educated. Having the federal government and its department of education running school curriculums has been a disaster, preventing Americans of knowing this type of information that would put a limit to its power. Having enumerated powers in the Constitution is nearly meaningless if you provide it unlimited funds, and that's what we have done for nearly 80 years. Everyone reading this, please, do your part, go to the aforementioned website, peruse the Bulletin Board page and the tiny sampling of 100% refunds issued by the IRS and state governments all over the country. Get educated and do your part. Your country is just about gone if you don't pick up the tools that the Founders of this Constitutional Republic gave you and put those tools to use. It will be scary, but there are hundreds of thousands of folks before you who have reclaimed our inheritance provided for by this great document called the Constitution.
