As to the idea that there is a loophole, you are missing the point. There is no such thing as a loophole from the tenet expressed in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal”. Under such a tenet no person or group of people, including gov’t, may ever use coercion (initiatory fraud or force) against another person or group of people. The funny thing is that the gov’t seems to be the only one that understands this. All the Republican and Democrat arguing is just a dog and pony show.
The government only has jurisdiction over foreign commerce, interstate commerce, and trade with the Indians. Each of these jurisdictions is listed separately in title 28 U.S.C., “Judiciary and Judicial Procedure”, chapter 85, “District Courts; Jurisdiction”. Section 1336, “Surface Board Transportation Orders”, which was renamed from “Interstate Commerce Commission Orders” in 1995, is the interstate commerce jurisdiction. Section 1362, “Indian Tribes”, is obviously the trade with the Indians commerce. And section 1340, “Internal revenue; customs duties”, is the foreign commerce jurisdiction.
By checking the box “U.S.citizen” on the application for a S.S.# you have given the government prima facie evidence that you have U.S.possession citizenship. A “U.S. citizen” is exemplified at 26 C.F.R. 25.2501-1(c) as a person born in one of the sovereign states who then establishes a residence in Puerto Rico and, further, acquires Puerto Rican citizenship. This regulation then references back to title 26 U.S.C. section 2501(b) where it states that this is the definition as used throughout the Code.
By getting a S.S. #, you became a federal employee - the “taxpayer”, a member of the Merchant Marine. The legal term “U.S.resident” contains both of the terms “taxpayer” and “U.S.citizen” within its definition.
The Supreme Court decisions all stated that the gov’t always had the power to tax income and, as well, that the 16th Amendment did not extend the taxing powers of the gov’t. Therefore, the income that is being taxed must be within one of the gov’t’s jurisdictions. It’s within foreign commerce.
Your Census Bureau questionnaire was addressed to “RESIDENT”. The Customs Bureau is within the Dept of Commerce. Title 15 U.S.C., “Commerce and Trade”, is implemented by title 15 C.F.R., “Commerce and Foreign Trade”. Everything that the gov’t is doing now is under the foreign commerce jurisdiction. That is the significance of the “gold-fringed flag” that you mentioned at the top of your comment.
Once all of this is exposed, which I’m trying my best to do now, we can restore our freedoms. All of this and much, much more is on my Blog at LLSTULER.wordpress.com
By the way, why do you think that BP is controlling everything in the Gulf now? There is a legal reason for this: the U.S.doesn’t have exclusive ownership of the Mississippi River. Article VI of the Constitution states that anything done under the Articles of Confederation is still in effect. The Peace Treaty of 1783 gave both the U.S.and Great Britain access to the Mississippi River. See http://wp.me/pCW6e-5X for the actual laws that evidence this to be true.
