The "Fair Tax" Fraud

Aaron Russo's latest film has been waking a lot of Americans up from the statist-serf slumber that has plagued several generations.

I think that's a good thing.

But the film falls short of informing Americans of what is unquestionably the best solution to the problem.

Of course, I think that's a bad thing.

Russo seems to conclude that both the IRS and the "Federal Reserve" must be dispensed with -- shut down. I couldn't agree with him more on that count. What Russo does not conclude is what is most disconcerting. The supposed vacuum created by the elimination of these two unlawful and corrupt institutions will surely be replenished by the politicians and the bankers who own them, unless Americans realize at least two things not found in Russo's film:

1) The federal government has no lawful (that is, constitutional) authority to "issue" money -- including worthless paper "money" -- or to assign such an authority to any other party or institution (including the so-called "federal reserve"). The only lawful monetary authority the federal government has is to coin money (that is, press silver and gold into coinage), and determine the value of it (that is, determine how many grains of silver or gold must be contained in each coin). That's the law, folks. That's all the Constitution allows. Any "act of Congress" that arbitrarily presumes to ignore or overrule the Constitution is null and void, no matter how long it has been "in effect".

2) The federal government's only lawful (that is, constitutional) funding is from duties and imposts -- not from any taxation of The People or their property or "income". That's the law. And, again, any "act of Congress" that presumes to ignore or overrule the Constitution is null and void, no matter how long it has been "in effect".

In light of the above, only politicians, bankers, and their dim-witted dupes will seriously suggest the so-called "Fair Tax" (or any other illegal scheme contrary to the law of the land) as a substitute for the "federal reserve"/IRS method of funding the federal government.

If Americans really want the Constitution to be honored, now is the time to put The People's proverbial foot down, and just say no to unlawful funding (of any kind) of the federal government. And if all their bloated, meddlesome, self-serving, unaccountable bureaucracies can't survive on lawful funding, well...

I think that'll be a good thing.

Who do I write? Who do I call? The more research I have been doing into what laws are "in effect" in comparison to what laws a just under the Constitution I am becoming more and more appalled. I lost faith in our government During the 2008 election when they allowed the media to spin the GOP in the bad light and nObama as the savior to mankind. Media needs to stay non-partisan. But that is is niether here nor there. The fact is that our government is illegal and the people are blinded because of the pretty sheets they put over our heads.
