Due Process Taxation w/o Representation - Internet Sales Tax

[ThomasCarlson]

Stand with Main Street (a Wal-Mart funded lobby group) recently posted an origin based photo on their Facebook Page explaining why origin based sourcing is taxation without representation. They support destination based sourcing. Destination Based Sourcing is what the Marketplace Fairness Act (MFA) Internet Sales Tax legislation is based on. The MFA is unconstitutional (this photo proves it).

Please share this photo and article everywhere in social media. We need to stop this legislation.

My personal take: All sales taxes pertaining to foreign purchases should remain point-of-sale based; as it is the most logical and fairest method, while also permits for competition between states to keep their sales taxes down (which is what this entire debate is actually all about, states want an international compact between them so there is no longer any competition among each other, leaving them free to raise their sales taxes as high as they would like, without having to worry about companies like Amazon, Overstock, Tigerdirect, et al.) Purchases made by fax, Internet, mail, phone, and telekinesis should be treated as a convenient time, resource, and energy saving method that saves consumers from otherwise having to physically travel there in person to make the sale.

Also states need to be reminded of their Article I, Section 10 obligations to the U.S. Constitution:

“No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; … pass any… law impairing the obligation of contracts…”

“No state shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports…”

Also in Section 9: “No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state.”

(Although this one is most likely meaning foreign imports or exports, I think a compelling argument could be made that substantiates interstate imports and exports as well.)

“No state shall, without the consent of Congress, … enter into any agreement or compact with another state…”

My Story about sales tax FWIW

WE currently have sales tax as a result of the national emergency at 12 usc 95 (a) and (b) in concert with 4 USC 105-110. 12 USC 95 (a) and (b) gave US citizens the status of enemy of the government. 4 USC 110 (d) made a fictional State within a state i.e. a military reservation, In your state code you will see the term "in this State" which means the animal created by 4 usc 110(d). 4 USC 110 (e) made anything (premises) the government see's (held or acquired) a federal area within such State. The majority of income tax liability attaches to "folks" at 4 usc 110 (a) bearing in mind that the person at 26 USC 3797 is now the person 26 usc 7701 (1) and (14). Of course according to the Louisiana Supreme court in City of New Orleans vs Scramuzza none of this garbage actually applies to the people.

Bear in Mind I got a $256.000.00 proposed assessment from a state revenue department in 1993 many months later the assessment was changed to $26,500.00 and I got a hearing a year or so later in which I described this as intentional fraud on part of the state taxing authority subject to criminal penalites under 18 usc 201.

Also I had letters mistakenly issued by the secretary of state that advised the auditor and audit reviewer had no oath of office meaning the assessment was invalid because the audit never happened. I felt I needed to give them an easy way out and they took it. The Secretary (HNIC) of the Revenue Department resigned and it was on the front page of newspapers state wide the following day and the audit reviewer advised in a phone call I made to him upon reading the paper that it was a result of my case. He went to back to work in the severance tax department. Severance tax is the same scam described herein.

I have since been confronted by a tax official in their own home after advising them of a bill for my services who questioned me as to why I was not charging sales tax and I got them to sit on their couch with me and then I explained to them what had all ready transpired and I was advised that I would "never hear from the Revenue Department" in that state.

I also service another account for the mother of a lawyer for the revenue department, upon learning this I told the mother the story amd the next time I came out she advised that as long as I was not charging tax and I would not have an issue in the state I currently live in.

I was/am not incorporated and refuted that I was a corporation in my pleadings. Per the state rules of civil procedure ( rule 52). I did not most of the pleadings but was personally responsible for strategy. Nearly thirty minutes of testimony was removed from the hearing tapes I believe because they where not under penalty of perjury and the states attorney made a direct admission to treason as a result of my opening statement. Which included the exclamation that if the states attorney so much as opened his mouth he would wind up facing the death penalty and the idiot wanted to know what the death penalty had to do with sales tax.

In a nutshell all sales tax is an act of treason, fraud and unconstitutional unless the transaction takes place in whole or in part in a federal area. The federal area is a fictional state within a state i.e. military reservation. An interdepartmental report called jurisdiction over federal areas within the states is available as an explanation from the government perspective. A patriots explanation is "The Story of the Buck Act" with case cites.

IMHO we should all be carrying a tax exempt card to the store. If you have the audacity to ask "how is the state gonna pay it bills ?" I refer you to Rochin vs California in so much as "the ends do not justify the means".

A problem with point of sales tax is it forces merchants to become unpaid tax collectors for the the state.

If I have to pay net taxes , I will make no net purchases.

All states presume your are a corporation or business entity that has no rights. If you start to complain they claim it is a privilege to business "in this State". i.e. No one has rights on a military reservation that exists under national emergency,i.e. everything you do is illegal unless you buy a license or pay a tax.

There are two states --- one is the state of the union, it has boundaries and and free people. Texas vs White 7 Wall 700 at page 749
the other is a military reservation under national emergency. Just like a foreign foe had come in and defeated us and instituted a new government. If one looks closely it can be seen in such places as the definition of the term "in this State" in your state code, the medical marijuana laws are the Sovereign state shining through, most states have a communist propaganda control law that has been held unconstitutional. The two states stick out like a sore thumb in the Communist propaganda control laws which are very much still in effect with respect to a government official who does not have standing to raise the issue of it unconstitutionality.

This is similar to what Clive Bundy was asserting when he claims the BLM has no jurisdiction in the Sovereign state of Nevada. Because Nevada has not ceded jurisdiction to the United States ( Fedcoats ). States have actually gone alone with the BS at 4 USC 110 (d) and (e) by redefining what "in this State" means. We just get ensnared by it because we do not understand how to object to it. Another way to look at it is though the eyes of 18 USC 241 and 242. Federal authority is in disquise as state authority on sales tax , income tax, drug laws are harder to grasp till you understand "man or other animals"

Understanding this and implementing it are two entirely different parts of the learning curve.

This is exactly what Hitler did in Germany in Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution, France did it, England did it
