This mess

So, by now you've learned the focus of my interest. The law is written to whom it is addressed. Just like the address on the face of an envelope of a letter to be mailed, law also has an address. Usually Congress puts the address up front at the beginning of the legislation it is voting on, but as always, there are exceptions. Most notable is when one reads or attempts to read the Internal Revenue Code. (here after, IRC) Also, in general, legislation is written in a linear, top-down order; but not so for the IRC. IN the first section of the IRC, it begins by saying that (paraphrase) ``taxpayers owe and pay taxes.'' Now, everyone who reads that, including teachers, lawyers and judges all assume they know what or who a taxpayer is and this assumption is just plain wrong. A "taxpayer" is not "everyone alive." The word "taxpayer" in section one is an undefined word and the next thing to do is to find a definition in the IRC. In section 7701, the word "taxpayer" is defined along with other necessary words. The key word definitions to look at are the words PERSON, STATE, and UNITED STATES. These three define to whom the law is written to and who is and is not a taxpayer. This is called Jurisdiction and all courts recognise that the law declares whom the law applies to; the courts call these groups "classes." The group named PERSON always and only refers to (corporations, trusts, partnerships and their agents who speak for them) Another word to learn well is "include" concerning which the courts have said that "include" consists only of the words which follow and what is not explicitly mentioned is completely excluded. For instance, the definition of STATE in the IRC ``includes the District of Columbia'' and therefore we can see that since no states of the union are specifically named then they are completely excluded from that definition. The same can be seen with the definition of the UNITED STATES in the IRC; ``the United States includes the District of Columbia.'' Now, one can easily contrast those definitions with those which are concerned with taxes that are called consumption taxes such those which are placed on cigars and cigarettes. The classes of federal taxes that apply on cigars and cigarettes must be the same within every state of the union and since this class of taxes is constitutional, we can see that in the definition of the word STATE. So then what is the difference between taxes on smoking materials and so-called "income taxes"? It is that the "income tax" defined in the IRC can only be enforced within the District of Columbia and the territories over which Congress has complete and absolute authority. Did We the People give absolute authority or any authority whatsoever to Congress when *We* formed the federal government to micro-manage our lives and activities? No, and absolutely not. We the people choose one of our own from among us who live in the voting area to send to Congress (both state and the District) to add our voice to how the government should behave and what activities it should undertake. But i digress.

The Purpose of elected office.

One who aspires to be elected to an office in government seeks a good thing. But, what is the purpose of government? And, What is the authority of one who is elected to office to serve the people? (corporations dont elect) Does an elected representative have any authority over the voters who elected him? Jurisdiction must always be evaluated to determine whether a civil servant has authority of Law to do or say something on a subject. Without the authority of Law, whether by an act of Congress or an act of some Legislature, no one can speak for their employer. Tacit procuration is the applicable term to describe someone who speaks without explicit permission for another. The speaker assumes a position of authority (they take it) to represent and speak for another as their agent when the one represented has neither appointed nor given permission for anyone to speak for them. The maxim of Law is that ``jurisdiction cannot be taken and must [explicitly] be given.'' Jurisdiction is property. It is owned by the potential giver of it; owned by the one who can give it. When you speak to someone who "claims" to have the authority of law to discuss a matter, then you give permission to them by your response to their speech on the matter. In other words, when you implicitly agree to discuss a thing, that is permission *to* them to continue to discuss. In common language it would be said "keep your mouth shut." Private matters are not private when they are discussed; or, ``don't be an open-book for all to read.'' Your mother probably told you when you were a child, "Do NOT speak to strangers." A stranger is everyone you don't know personally. "Danger, Will Robinson!!" Why are you discussing private matters with strangers? Police, civil servants, any and everyone else? Your Birth-Right, mentioned in the Bill of Rights (supposedly to be guaranteed, protected by the government) is to be silent but if you speak you indicate your choice to NOT be silent and the civil or military servant to whom you speak assumes and properly concludes that your speaking means that you are choosing to NOT to be silent. This is the Trap! Your right to be silent does not begin with the reading of the "Miranda Rights" statement; your rights began the day, at the moment that you were born. It is a lack of knowledge, a lack of education about your birth-rights that destroys you. In a uncitable court opinion, I recall reading that "one does NOT lose their rights because they are unused." Your birth-rights are not revokable; no act of Legislature gave them to you and NO act of any legislature can remove them from you. Your Birth-Rights predate all law since you were born and there is a constitutional prohibition on law ex-post facto, meaning after-the-fact. Again, in common language "Just say `no'" to every statement and question posed by a government servant. They work for us, the People, and not the other way around. All this applies to your signature. The purpose of elected office is to be the People's representative IN the government corporation as its steering-board, to determine what and how the corporation does with its property and in its relationship with other corporations, both internally in its district where it sits and with foreign corporations and their agents.
