Book Description
In Taxes on Knowledge in America, Randall P. Bezanson explores the extent to which the publication and distribution of current public information is effected by economic exactions. The book begins with a brief overview of the English history and experience with knowledge taxes, before turning to a discussion of knowledge taxes in America from colonial times to the present. In addition to covering traditional printed publications, Bezanson looks at recent developments in broadcast and cable telecommunications, devotes a chapter to the history of the postal system, and gleans insight from three benchmark Supreme Court decisions. Bezanson provocatively concludes that knowledge is common property and knowledge taxes should be measured by their impact on the diversity of ideas and availability of information throughout society.

Book Description
Taxation in Colonial America examines life in the thirteen original American colonies through the revealing lens of the taxes levied on and by the colonists. Spanning the turbulent years from the founding of the Jamestown settlement to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Alvin Rabushka provides the definitive history of taxation in the colonial era, and sets it against the backdrop of enormous economic, political, and social upheaval in the colonies and Europe. Rabushka shows how the colonists strove to minimize, avoid, and evade British and local taxation, and how they used tax incentives to foster settlement. He describes the systems of public finance they created to reduce taxation, and reveals how they gained control over taxes through elected representatives in colonial legislatures. Rabushka takes a comprehensive look at the external taxes imposed on the colonists by Britain, the Netherlands, and Sweden, as well as internal direct taxes like poll and income taxes. He examines indirect taxes like duties and tonnage fees, as well as county and town taxes, church and education taxes, bounties, and other charges. He links the types and amounts of taxes with the means of payment--be it gold coins, agricultural commodities, wampum, or furs--and he compares tax systems and burdens among the colonies and with Britain. This book brings the colonial period to life in all its rich complexity, and shows how colonial attitudes toward taxation offer a unique window into the causes of the revolution.

Book Description
A surprising and revealing look at what Americans really believe about taxes Conventional wisdom holds that Americans hate taxes. But the conventional wisdom is wrong. Bringing together national survey data with in-depth interviews, Read My Lips presents a surprising picture of tax attitudes in the United States. Vanessa Williamson demonstrates that Americans view taxpaying as a civic responsibility and a moral obligation. But they worry that others are shirking their duties, in part because the experience of taxpaying misleads Americans about who pays taxes and how much. Perceived "loopholes" convince many income tax filers that a flat tax might actually raise taxes on the rich, and the relative invisibility of the sales and payroll taxes encourages many to underestimate the sizable tax contributions made by poor and working people. Americans see being a taxpayer as a role worthy of pride and respect, a sign that one is a contributing member of the community and the nation. For this reason, the belief that many Americans are not paying their share is deeply corrosive to the social fabric. The widespread misperception that immigrants, the poor, and working-class families pay little or no taxes substantially reduces public support for progressive spending programs and undercuts the political standing of low-income people. At the same time, the belief that the wealthy pay less than their share diminishes confidence that the political process represents most people. Upending the idea of Americans as knee-jerk opponents of taxes, Read My Lips examines American taxpaying as an act of political faith. Ironically, the depth of the American civic commitment to taxpaying makes the failures of the tax system, perceived and real, especially potent frustrations.

Book Description
Widespread voluntary tax compliance plays a significant role in countries’ efforts to raise the revenues necessary to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. As part of this process, governments are increasingly reaching out to taxpayers – current and future – to teach, communicate and assist them in order to foster a “culture of compliance” based on rights and responsibilities, in which citizens see paying taxes as an integral aspect of their relationship with their government.

Book Description
"The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.

Book Description
Everyone needs to forget what you thought you knew about taxes in America. This book is a work of art, a renaissance of new thinking, a renewal of the spirit, an American taxation rebirth and a moral reawakening in a medieval world. This book lays out in fine detail our 'unambiguous conferred rights and liabilities' established by the United States Congress in 1939. U.S.C. TITLE 26, Subtitle F, CHAPTER 80, Sec. 7851, (b) Effect of repeal of Internal Revenue Code of 1939 (1) Existing rights and liabilities The repeal of any provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1939 shall not affect any act done or any right accruing or accrued, or any suit or proceeding had or commenced in any civil cause, before such repeal; but all rights and liabilities under such code shall continue, and may be enforced in the same manner, as if such repeal had not been made. This book gives a detailed easy-to-understand breakdown of laws and one's 'rights and liabilities' for Income Tax. This third book in the series drives a wooden stake into the heart of a sacred government taxing scam. Income Taxes in America are a complete fraud. Our government fraudulently writes tax statutes vaguely, violating our due process rights. They also violate the constitution in collecting taxes, and violating all the expenditure clauses when they fraudulent waste our property all around the world. The 16th Amendment never gave our government an unlimited right to tax and spend any way they desired. Taxation in America is an abuse of power, leading the bondage and slavery of a free people. This book releases the chains of taxation bondage, reclaiming all our constitutional rights, all our new Statutory Federal Rights, and our God given rights to live as free people in liberty, with our pursuit of happiness. Michael opens the door to real knowledge about our taxation rights in America. Supplement book to "Corporate Income Tax: Claim Your Right to Zero Tax Liability in America." ISBN-13:978-1477584835 Excerpt: It is sad to have to tell people that they have been deceived and lied to only to have the majority of the people not really interested in it. If the deceit were true, one would think that the people would revolt. Today, football, baseball, TV, concerts and going shopping are some of the activities that have replaced people's knowledge of government and money. Public education is so dumb downed it is pathetic. Hosea 4:6 is echoing through the halls and homes of America, will the Church heed God's call of repentance? The time was around 722 BC when the Prophet Hosea wrote chapter 4, verse 6: "My people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge." Much has changed since this passage in the Bible was written. We now have cars, airplanes, computers, TV's, and radios, for example. Looking from a distance it seems that things have changed considerably - or then again, has anything really changed? When money, the economy and sex are the only objectives that the average American can focus on achieving, is there any wonder too why our nation is declining? Taxes can stir up all kinds of emotions, ranging from fear, rage, and hate to a willing state of complete stupidity in most Americans. When we turn and face the facts about taxes as Americans, the number one truth is that our freedom is being destroyed by a lack of knowledge. There is little doubt to this when you start reading over 101,295 pages of taxation laws and regulations and fill out the more than 700 tax forms. Confusion and more confusion are piled on the general public year after year after year. Is there any logic to the madness? "Chaos equals cash," as the saying goes. The more chaos that Congress and the IRS can create the more cash and rights that can be eroded from the dumbed down peoples. Education and more education is the only long-term solution to this nightmare on Elm Street. The bottom line is that writing Tax Laws vaguely violates the first element of Due Process of Law.
