This book is one of the most accurate and referenced accumulation
of research on the history of income taxes. Starting with the
Federalist debates and elaborating on the inclusion of every
tax clause in the constitution. You will learn there was very strong opposition to the federal government having any taxing powers at all!! Our founders reluctantly granted taxing powers to the federal government to allow it to have quick access to capital ONLY in times of war. You will understand the brilliant constitutional safeguards that our founders
devised (apportionment on direct taxes) to the potential
abuse that they foresaw (our current tax system.). Follow the Supreme Court decisions that are ignored in our current courts from the Pollock case (reversing previous Supreme Court cases on the definition of direct taxes) to the Brushaber case (that held that the 16th Amendment did not
add any new taxing powers to the constitution). In essence the 16th amendment did not amend the constitution! Learn why the income tax is a masterful hoax. 1) its not income its CORPORATE PROFIT!! 2) Its not a tax its a VOLUNTARY CONFESSION!!!
