Requirement for Consent

adversely impacted by those who refuse to pay such government “extortion under the color of law”. If you choose not to 1 consent to become a “taxpayer”, you may cause other “taxpayers” to lose “privileges” (government socialist handouts) by 2 refusing to participate, but other “taxpayers” don’t lose any of their constitutional rights if you refuse to subsidize the evil 3 and socialism that is embodied in the Internal Revenue Code. In fact, the “crimes” listed in 26 U.S.C. §§7201 to 7217 are 4 not “tax crimes” for the average American, because: 5 1. Those who are “nontaxpayers” are not subject to it. We’ll cover this further later. 6 2. There is no statute which creates a liability and there is no evidence of consent to abide by it. Therefore, it is not law 7 for those who have not consented in some way, who therefore become “nontaxpayers”. See: 8 Your Rights as a Nontaxpayer , Form #08.008 http://sedm.org/Forms/FormIndex.htm 3. Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue does not describe a “tax” as legally defined by the Supreme Court, because revenues 9 collected are being paid to private people who are not federal “employees” or a “public purpose”. See: 10 Why Your Government is Either a Thief or You are a “Public Officer” for Income Tax Purposes , Form #05.008 http://sedm.org/Forms/FormIndex.htm When federal courts choose to illegally enforce the criminal provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, which is not positive 11 law, against those in states of the Union who are not in fact and in deed “public officers” engaged in a “trade or business” 12 within the United States government, they are prosecuting people for what is called “malum prohibitum acts”. They are 13 also involved in treason against the Constitution if they acquiesce to or aid in the prosecution of private parties who are not 14 in fact federal “employees”, who live in states of the Union and outside of federal territorial jurisdiction. 15

“ Malum prohibitum . A wrong prohibited; a thing which is wrong because prohibited; an act which is not inherently immoral, but becomes so because its commission is expressly forbidden by positive law; an act

involving an illegality resulting from positive law. Compare Malum in se. “

Treason, by the way, is punishable by death under 18 U.S.C. §2381. See section 5.1.2 of the Great IRS Hoax , Form 20 #11.302 book for a complete explanation of this concept. They are committing treason because they are not enforcing a 21 “tax” as legally defined. “Taxes” can ONLY go to support public employees on official business and cannot 22 constitutionally be used for any other purpose: 23

"To lay, with one hand, the power of the government on the property of the citizen, and with the other to bestow it upon favored individuals to aid private enterprises and build up private fortunes, is none the less a robbery because it is done under the forms of law and is called taxation. This is not legislation [e.g. “law”]. It is a

decree under legislative forms.

Nor is it taxation. ‘A tax,’ says Webster’s Dictionary, ‘is a rate or sum of money assessed on the person or property of a citizen by government for the use of the nation or State.’ ‘Taxes are burdens or charges imposed by the Legislature upon persons or property to raise money for public purposes.’ Cooley, Const. Lim., 479."

The legislation passed by Congress in pursuance of the authority delegated to it by the Constitution of the United States 32 (which is “positive law”) is organized by subject in the 50 titles of the U.S. Code. Each title of the U.S. Code covers a 33 different subject area. For instance, Title 26 covers Internal Revenue: that is, revenue gathered within the territorial 34 jurisdiction of the federal government, which is limited to the territories and possessions of the United States and the 35 District of Columbia, collectively called the “federal zone” throughout this book. 36 Within the U.S. Code, certain titles are enacted into “positive law” while others are not. Those that are not enacted into 37 positive law may safely be regarded as “private law”. Those that are should be regarded as “public law”. 1 U.S.C. §204 38 lists which Titles are positive law and which are not. Only those titles that are enacted into positive law have the potential 39 to become binding generally upon all legal “persons” within the territorial jurisdiction of the federal government. However, 40 before this can happen, an agency of the federal government within the Executive Branch must choose to step forward 41 under the leadership of the President of the United States and voluntarily consent to take responsibility for executing the 42 statute by writing implementing regulations giving the statutes force and effect, and publishing those enforcement 43 regulations in the Federal Register for public review and comment. Below is a definition of the Federal Register from 44 Black’s Law Dictionary: 45

“ Federal Register . The Federal Register, published daily, is the medium for making available to the public Federal agency regulations and other legal documents of the executive branch. These documents cover a wide
