income tax.
Misapplication of the 16th Amendment
of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income"
taxes. Statists call it "paying your fair share."
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

tax statutes.

of all emigrants and rebels.
