There are three important facts about the Federal Income Tax the U.S. Gov't has tried to keep hidden from the American People for more than a century:

The income tax is an EXCISE.
EXCISE taxes are taxes on the gainful exercise of federal privilege(s).
Most workers do NOT earn their pay exercising any federal privilege(s).

The reason most Americans pay federal income taxes is simple. They are tricked into doing so.

Upon employment, your payer has you complete a Form W-4; a Withholding Agreement. They believe they have a legal obligation to do so in accordance with 26 U.S. Code §3402(a)(1)

Unknown to the worker and the payer, this paragraph does not apply to private sector workers. It only applies to an “employee” (as defined by law, not the dictionary) who is paid “wages” (as defined by law, not the dictionary), paid by an “employer” (as defined by law, not the dictionary).

26 U.S. Code §3402(a)(1) is a mandatory requirement. It applies ONLY to that which is enumerated! Thus, by law, 26 U.S. Code §3402(a)(1) does not and can not apply to a private sector worker.

Congress wants your money, but it can’t legally take it because of the U.S. Constitution. To legally work around the limits imposed by the Constitution, Congress created the VOLUNTARY WITHHOLDING AGREEMENT, 26 U.S. Code §3402(p); and more specifically, the “AUTHORITY FOR OTHER VOLUNTARY WITHHOLDING”, 26 U.S. Code §3402(p)(3).

Removing all of the superfluous wording from paragraph (p)(3)(B), the hideous truth is revealed:

“The Secretary is authorized to provide for withholding from any other type of payment if the person making and the person receiving such other type of payment agree to such withholding. For purposes of this chapter, other payments with respect to which such agreement is made shall be treated as if they were wages paid by an employer to an employee.”

By signing a W-4 you (the person) agreed to have your payer (the other person) treat your pay (the other type of payment) “AS IF” they were “wages” (as defined by law) paid by an “employer” (as defined by law) to an “employee” (as defined by law).

In other words. By signing a W-4 you volunteered to have your non-taxable private sector payments treated as federally connected “wage” payments paid to a government “employee” by a government “employer”, subject to the excise tax laws of the United States.

You are now in the system as a “taxpayer”. Once receipt of “wages” payments are reported to the IRS, you are legally obligated to pay income taxes on those “wage” payments.

Welcome to the Matrix!
