Pop Quiz on the Federal Income Tax - Peter Hendrickson / Lost Horizons Newsletter April 19, 2013

Friends,

Please take time to read this information. This is not a joke or a hoax. This is the truth. Peter Hendrickson is the author of “Cracking the Code”, a shocking exposé of the massive fraud and hoax that is the federal income tax system as it is implemented and enforced by the IRS.

Peter Hendrickson has made great personal sacrifices on behalf of the American people. He served time in prison on trumped-up false charges, at the instigation of government thugs and criminals, in order to deliver the truth to the American people. The least you can do is to listen to what he has to say.

It's Pop Quiz Time!

Take this little test to see just how tuned-up you are with the realities of the federal tax structure as laid out by the framers and amenders of the United States Constitution, interpreted by the Supreme Court, and implemented in current law.

The Quiz:

Top of Form

1. The American People at some point granted the federal government an ownership interest in the individual productive output (or economic gain) of not only every American alive at the time, but, by some mystical process, also in that of those yet unborn.
True
False
Both
Why should I care, I'm just a kid...

2. Americans have equipped the federal government with the power of a king-- that government can assert an ownership interest at will and seize what it wishes from the citizenry (although anyone aggrieved by the misuse of this power can try to vote abusers out of office afterward, if they haven't starved to death before election day).
True
False
Neither
I'm just looking, Your Majesty! Please don't punish me!!

3. The federal government has ownership interests only in its own property and delegated powers, and can only prosecute non-contract-based claims accordingly, relying on allegations of one of the aforementioned ownership connections.
True
False
Maybe
I don't think I'm allowed to make conclusions about things like this...

4. The "income" that the federal government can tax (that is, revenue in which it can assert an ownership interest) is "all that comes in" (that is, any or all revenue realized by anyone for doing anything).
True
False
I'm going to ask the IRS...
Whatever you say, your Worship!

5. The only "income" that the federal government can tax is the gainful revenue which results from the use of its own property or delegated powers.
True
False
How can that be?
My tax attorney says to STAY AWAY from this site!

6. "Information returns" (W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, etc.) are intended solely for the reporting of federally-connected "income" payments (and, in some cases, reporting amounts deposited against the possibility of tax liabilities being eventually defined), and all payments reported on an "information return" will be taken to be such, unless and until rebutted.
True
False
Huh?
But that would mean that most payers are violating the Eighth Commandment!

7. The Founders (and framers) deliberately restrained the ability of the federal government to acquire revenue at will in the fundamental law (the Constitution), because:
a. There is no legitimate basis of principle by which any government can assert an ownership interest, or claim of right, to someone else's property or proceeds without their consent;
b. They wished to prevent special interests from gaining influence in the government and enriching themselves at the expense of others;
c. They wished to prevent the government from being able to purchase the political sway necessary for it to escape the chains of the Constitution in other respects without effective impediment and from financing "swarms of officers" who will "harass our people" and "eat out their substance";
d. All of the above.

8. Knowing that every payment to you which is reported on an "information return" (a W-2, 1099 or K-1) is being alleged to have resulted from your conduct of a federally taxable activity, which of the following courses of action best serves to support the Founders and uphold the fundamental law in the face of incorrect information return reports:
a. Filing a return adopting those incorrect allegations as your own testimony (by transferring reported payment amounts to your own return, and/or attaching the "information return" to your return), and quietly accepting the resulting imposition of tax;
b. Rebutting the incorrect allegations, and testifying to what is actually true regarding the amount of federally taxable activity you engaged in during the previous year, in the single format Congress has required the executive branch (IRS and Treasury Dept.) to recognize and accept (a return);
c. Refusing to file a return at all-- thus acquiescing to the incorrect allegations by silence (default);
d. Refusing to file a return but sending letters, non-return affidavits, legal arguments, etc. to the tax agencies in a barrage of square pegs flung at the round hole into which nothing but a return will fit, and which will therefore all be ignored.

9. Tax agencies have the legal authority to:
a. Disregard a 1040-filer's testimony;
b. Give greater weight to agency-preferred allegations on an "information return" than to the declarations on a 1040;
c. Rule a return "frivolous" and treat it as never filed (and/or impose a penalty) because what is reported as "income" received disagrees with allegations made on "information returns";
d. None of the above.

10. By letting "information return" allegations that your economic activities are federally-connected stand uncorrected-- either by your adoption of those allegations, or by your effective silence-- you:
a. Validate and make real government claims to an ownership interest in those activities, and the imposition of a related tax;
b. Support presumptions of federal authority over how you conduct your economic activities;
c. Both (a) and (b);
d. None of the above.

11. Creating "information returns" (W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, etc.) about others (all of which inherently allege that payments YOU made involved federally-connected taxable activities):
a. Supports government claims to an ownership interest in YOUR activities, and the imposition of related taxes on YOU;
b. Support presumptions of federal authority over how you conduct your business;
c. Both (a) and (b);
d. None of the above.

12. Letting the federal government tax what is not really subject to tax under the law, either by declaring the receipts of others to be federally-connected when they are not (through the creation of incorrect "information returns"), or by actively or passively declaring your own receipts to be taxable when they really are not:
a. Utterly thwarts the Founder's wise safeguards;
b. Unleashes and equips Leviathan to trample from sea to shining sea (and beyond);
c. Allows Leviathan to do its trampling with your implicit approval;
d. All of the above.
