WHY MOST AMERICANS DO NOT OWE FEDERAL INCOME TAXES – PART 1 OF 2
The “income” tax is and always has been an excise on gains from certain federally-connected activities in which most Americans do not engage at all. In fact the tax code is only applicable to a very select few, because as noted above, the territorial restrictions of the US Congress prevent that. Congress could have easily provided wording in the tax code stating: “All Americans are required to pay the federal income tax irrespective of where or what type you work you perform.” No such language like this exists in the tax code and for good reason – U.S. laws are enforceable only in D.C. and other U.S. territories; and the federal income tax is NOT applicable to all American people..
This is no secret and the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld this principle over and over again. The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled “…legislation of Congress, unless a contrary intent appears, is meant to apply only within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States…” They also ruled that while the federal tax may have a uniform application across the country, the language of the code determines its ultimate applicability.
In dealing with the meaning and application of an act of Congress enacted… under the Constitution to tax income…, in the absence of language evidencing a different purpose, should be interpreted “so as to give a uniform application to a nationwide scheme of taxation. Lyeth v. Hoey (1938) Therefore, a look at and understanding of the “language” of certain key terms and phrases used in the code is in order to determine its authoritative limitations.
With that in mind let’s examine the several terms in the tax code: 26 U.S. Code § 3401 – Definitions (a) Wages – For purposes of this chapter, the term “wages” means all remuneration for services performed by an employee for his employer… The definition of “employee” is just a little farther down in section 3401, to wit: (c) Employee – For purposes of this chapter, the term “employee” includes an officer, employee, or elected official of the United States,
a State, or any political subdivision thereof, or the District of Columbia, or any agency or instrumentality of any one or more of the foregoing. The term “employee” also includes an officer of a corporation. (26) Trade or business – The term “trade or business” includes the performance of the functions of a public office.” Because the common meanings of words are not used in the tax code, to properly comprehend the tax code one must have a firm understanding of how the Supreme Court interprets the language in a statute:
“It is axiomatic that the statutory definition of the term excludes unstated meanings of that term.” Of course, statutory definitions of terms used therein prevail over colloquial meanings. Even the Treasury Department has helpfully expressed this in its regulatory language, currently found in 27 CFR 26.11 and 27 CFR 72.11 and previously was published in 26 CFR 170.59, to wit: “Meanings of Terms: the terms “includes and including” do not exclude things not enumerated which are in the same general class.” What does this all mean?
