End Federal Withholding Tax
April 7,
2001
Dear liberty activist,
Government dishonesty is nowhere more evident than in the income tax, both
in the way the American citizen was conned into accepting it, and in the
way so much tax money is currently being collected...through the deception
of withholding.
"The government's premise is simple: the taxpayer won't miss the
money he never sees.... The goal of withholding is to make the taxpayers
less aware of how much they really pay each month to fund our massive
federal government...," stated Representative Ron Paul.
Tax bureaucrats have been only too successful in lulling some taxpayers to
sleep. That is why Representative Ron Paul introduced H.R. 1364 - The Cost
of Government Awareness Act on April 3, 2001. H.R. 1364 will end federal
income tax withholding.
Once employers are free of the burden of tax collecting for the welfare
state and we productive Americans begin to write checks to the federal
government along with our other monthly bills, the true cost of what we
pay to fund our massive federal government will jump out at us. An
enlightened debate on spending and tax reform can then begin and millions
of once-unaware Americans can voice their opinions.
Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of politicians and bureaucrats like
threatening to cut off the seemingly endless flow of money to Washington.
They will fight passage of H.R. 1364, because, even though it is a small
first step, our success would mean the beginning of the end of taking the
American taxpayer for granted.
If any part of you is hesitant about ending the deception of withholding
and igniting a nationwide debate on the true cost of government, please
read the compelling "Finding and Purpose" section of H.R. 1364
at http://www.thelibertycommittee.org/hr13
64text.htm
.
Because we are stronger, with over 54,000 of us working together as
activists through The Liberty Committee, we can take on this major battle.
Here are three things you can do:
1. House and Senate leaders of both political parties talk about
"fiscal responsibility." Passage of H.R. 1364 will substantially
make "fiscal responsibility" a reality; not rhetoric. Add your
name to our petition addressed to the House and Senate leadership. Go to http://www.thelibertycommittee.org/taxp
etition.htm
2. Ask your U.S. representative to cosponsor and work for passage of H.R.
1364. Go to http://capwiz.com/liberty/issues/bills/?b
illnum=H.R.1364&congress=107
.
3. Spread the word among your friends. Ask them to do these three things
too.
Then wait for the explosion. Once productive Americans are confronted,
month after month, with the now-hidden price they pay for government, the
debate we are calling for will begin for real -- thanks to you!
On C.B.S. 60 Minutes II, Tuesday, April 3rd, I.R.S. Commissioner Charles
Rossotti stated, "We have a Congress and everybody has the right to
go talk to their congressman or senator about what they like and don't
like about the tax code." We agree and that's what we are going to
do.
