Taxation is the primary means of destroying the sovereignty of a person, family, church, city, state, or nation. Below is the 15 reason why, from a popular bible dictionary: 16

“ TRIBUTE . Tribute in the sense of an impost paid by one state to another, as a mark of subjugation, is a common feature of international relationships in the biblical world. The tributary could be either a hostile state or an ally. Like deportation, its purpose was to weaken a hostile state. Deportation aimed at depleting the man- power. The aim of tribute was probably twofold: to impoverish the subjugated state and at the same time to increase the conqueror’s own revenues and to acquire commodities in short supply in his own country. As an instrument of administration it was one of the simplest ever devised: the subjugated country could be made responsible for the payment of a yearly tribute. Its non-arrival would be taken as a sign of rebellion, and an expedition would then be sent to deal with the recalcitrant. This was probably the reason for the attack

If you want to stay “sovereign”, then you had better get used to the following: 28

1. Supporting yourself and governing your own families and churches, to the exclusion of any external sovereignty. This 29 will ensure that you never have to surrender any aspect of your sovereignty to procure needed help. 30 2. Learning and obeying God’s laws. 31 3. Being an “foreign er ”, “stranger”, or “nonresident alien” in your own land. 32 4. Being persecuted by the people and governments around you because you insist on being “foreign” and “different” 33 from the rest of the “sheep” around you. 34 If you aren’t prepared to do the above and thereby literally “earn” the right to be free and “sovereign”, just as our founding 35 fathers did, then you are literally wasting your time to read further in this book. Doing so will make you into nothing more 36 than an informed coward. Earning liberty and sovereignty in this way is the essence of why America is called: 37

“The land of the free and the home of the brave.”

It takes courage to be brave enough to be different from all of your neighbors and all the other countries in the world, and to 39 take complete and exclusive responsibility for yourself and your loved ones. Below is what happened to the founding 40 fathers because they took this brave path in the founding of this country. Most did so based on the Christian principles 41 mentioned above. At the point when they committed to the cause, they renounced their British citizenship and because 42 “aliens” with respect to the British Government, just like you will have to do by becoming a “national” but not a “citizen” 43 under federal law: 44

And, for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we

45

mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our Sacred honor

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of

the fifty-six fought and died from wounds or hardships resulting from the Revolutionary War.
