Murdered Congressman Was Abolishing IRS and Fed Scams Lets get this done in the name of this patriotic Congressional martyr, James Traficant!!!! Project Freedom: Former Congressman Traficant Seeks to Abolish the Fed & IRS occupycorporatism/home/project-freedom-former-congressman-traficant-abolish-fed-irs/ By Susanne Posel – April 11, 2014 Former Congressman James Traficant recently announced on Next News Network that he would be launching a new initiative called Project Freedom (PF). Traficant said that the reason he is calling his proposal “Project Freedom is [because] we are not free. We have to free ourselves. Literally. And empower the American citizen.” Because of this position the American public finds themselves in, Traficant states that the income tax should be replaced with a national retail sales tax. PF seeks to: Stop withholding from American’s paycheck Halt taxation on savings accounts Remove the taxes on inheritance No more corporation tax Capital gains taxes will be abolished Install a National Retail Sales Tax of 25% on new goods and services only No taxation of resold goods and services All surplus would be paid to every household Replace welfare with “work-fare” where recipients are given a job and paycheck instead of monthly government subsidies Eliminate all agencies of the federal government that perform tasks that could be “done by the states” Abolish the Federal Reserve Bank Return banking institutional governance and control over the money supply to the US Congress Money would be printed by the US government only Debt on US bonds would be paid to investors Debt to international bankers would be repudiated Traficant explained that the IRS stated before Congress that “without fear and intimidation we won’t be able to collect taxes.” In 1998 then President Bill Clinton signed into law the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (IRS-RRA) which contained Traficant’s rider, called the Traficant Burden of Proof Bill (TBRB) and language as part of a proposal to restrict the IRS to bear the burden of proof when claiming they were owed unpaid taxes. At the time that Traficant’s rider was being considered to become an addition to the IRS-RRA, the IRS stated they would recommend that Clinton veto the bill if that particular rider and language were introduced into the final legislation. Traficant explained that under the old system 96% of cases brought to court by the IRS against Americans were held under jurisdiction of civil law because under that legality, “the taxpayer has the burden of proof”. While debating the IRS publically with op-ed pieces in the press, Traficant recalled how the acting commissioner of the IRS warned that “if the Traficant language of burden of proof was in the [IRS-RRA] then the dead beats would pay no taxes, [the agency] would have to have very tough and [perform] restrictive investigations.” According to the then acting commissioner of the IRS, it would be impossible for their agency to “prove a negative” when it comes to accusing Americans of not paying their taxes. Traficant argued that this burden should not fall to the American citizen because it would be too difficult for the taxpayers to “prove a negative”. The former Congressman said: “How can the taxpayer prove a negative? The tax payer isn’t accusing. The IRS is accusing. The IRS is saying that the taxpayer owes money. They should be able to support that accusation and carry it into a court of law if necessary or they shouldn’t say the taxpayer owes them money.” In a study conducted to decipher the success of the TBPB, and the effects of mandating the burden of proof befall the IRS, it was found that: • Over 1.2 million people were spared from wage garnishment • Over 500,000 liens on property were not enacted against property owners • Over 170,000 homes were not seized in compliance with taxation acquisition • IRS mandated to request “judicial permission” for “pad-locking” homes and the homeowner had the right to contest the lien in court One year later, Traficant and former Congressman Billy Tauzin proposed legislation that intended to abolish the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the federal income tax. The replacement would be an across-the-board 15% sales tax imposed on national retail sales. This tax would be applied to “all goods and services sold at retail”; as well as utility bill payments, legal fees, golf lessons, etc . . . Resold items, items used to produce resold items and exported goods and services would not be subject to the tax. Traficant said about the proposal: “For years I advocated a flat tax coupled with a small consumption tax. Dan Schaefer and Billy Tauzin, through their powerful and logical arguments, convinced me that the National Retail Sales Act (NRSA) is the best plan, by far, to reform the way in which the federal government collects revenue. It’s also the best plan to ensure America’s economic future.”
