A New Declaration: More Liberty, Fewer Taxes
Congressman Ron Paul’s Texas Straight Talk
July 5, 1999

On the fourth day of July, in 1776, a small group of men, representing 13 colonies in the far-off Americas, boldly told the most powerful nation on earth, that they were free.
They declared, in radical terms both then and now, that “all men are created equal” and are endowed with certain “inalienable rights,” rights that government cannot take away for government does not grant them.

In the Declaration of Independence, the founding fathers sought to demonstrate to the world that the “...history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation's, all having the direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states...” In the list, we find the basic philosophy for our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

One point of consternation to our founding fathers was that the king had been “imposing Taxes on us without our Consent.” Such a statement led different people in recent years to wonder, “Americans revolted over taxation without representation; how do they like it with representation?”
Indeed, one has to wonder how Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin would react to the current state of affairs. After all, they felt shackled with a total tax rate that, in modern terms, amounts to single-digits rates. Today, the average American will pay more than 50 percent of their income in direct and indirect taxes.

In fact, most Texans will not start working for themselves for another week. Texans, like most Americans work from January until early July just to pay their federal income tax, states and local taxes, and the calculated cost of regulation. Almost no one in America has yet begun going to work to pay for food, clothing, shelter, or their children’s education. It was just on June 22 that Americans stopped working to pay for the federal government. The next several weeks will pay the costs of state and local government.
It is often easy to simply blame faceless bureaucrats and politicians for our current state of affairs, and they do bear much of the blame. But a decent share rests with those of us who expect Washington, DC, to solve every problem under the sun. If the public demanded that Congress abide by the Constitution, pass only constitutional authorizations and spending while opposing the rest, politicians would be more responsive.

All too often, though, politicians get the message that their constituents do indeed want unconstitutional spending cut and bloated government put on a diet – just not in their community or for their particular pet project. This leads to the famous compromises; compromises that sound fine when a politician stands on the stump at election time, but lose luster when the bill comes due on Tax Day.

Now is the time for Congress to pass the American Values Tax Savings Act of 1999, of which I am a cosponsor. This legislation will eliminate the marriage penalty tax, the death tax, the alternative minimum tax, reduce the capital gains tax, and increase the pre-tax contribution levels for IRAs. This measure would provide almost $800 billion in tax relief by 2009 if passed this year.

Our basic problem is not that we are over-taxed, out-spent or under-represented, it is that we have lost sight of a simple premise that guided the actions of our founding fathers. That premise? The government that governs least is the government that governs best.

When we cut the size of government, our taxes will fall. When we reduce the power of the federal bureaucracy, the cost of government will plummet. And when we firmly fix our eyes, undistracted, on the principles of liberty, Americans will truly be free.

That ours is the freest land on the earth, that we enjoy a higher level of liberty than people anywhere, should never distract us from demanding more freedom and more liberty. This should be our declaration.

“If we stuck to the Constitution as written, we would have: no federal meddling in our schools; no Federal Reserve; no U.S. membership in the UN; no gun control; and no foreign aid. We would have no welfare for big corporations, or the “poor”; no American troops in 100 foreign countries; no NAFTA, GATT, or “fast-track”; no arrogant federal judges usurping states rights; no attacks on private property; no income tax. We could get rid of most of the cabinet departments, most of the agencies, and most of the budget. The government would be small, frugal, and limited.” - Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) 1998

Property Tax
Beaver Cole

Every American has the RIGHT to own property. That RIGHT is protected in our nation’s fundamental law in the “Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness” clause. As a matter of fact, Jefferson’s first draft said, “life, liberty and the pursuit of property”! He changed it to “happiness” in order to broaden meaning to include any general pursuit, which still embraced property.

The US Supreme Court has stated that no tax may be levied upon a Constitutionally protected RIGHT unless that tax is levied upon Citizens equally – that, of course, is a “properly apportioned” tax. In other words, if you owe $25.00 to the state of Texas, then your neighbor owes $25.00, the guy who owns the biggest corporation in Texas owes $25.00, and the bum on the street owes $25.00.

Today, people who own property are charged a tax on their Constitutional RIGHT to own property. People who do not own property are not charged a tax.

From studying the Texas Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CFR), Texas is now believed to have a budget surplus of $5 TRILLION! The Federal Government now has TRILLION DOLLAR SURPLUSES! This is OUTRAGEOUS! This is extortion! This is abusive taxation! No form of government, whether schools, city, county, state or federal, needs more money to operate than its Constitutional authority. Yet, our public servants have become masters of extortion and propaganda, brain washing the public to fund every whim and desire, even to supporting foreign governments. WAKE UP AMERICA! When our Founding Fathers designed the Constitution they never intended for government to be large, abusive and dictatorial. The Constitution was specifically designed to make government small and frugal, not overpowering and dictatorial.
Let us review a segment of the book The State Of Texas is a LIAR!! by Daniel Schinzing.

“The Texas Constitution says that property tax is a donation, at Article 8, Section 1-a:
...Provided that in those counties or political subdivisions or areas of the State from which tax donations have heretofore been granted, the State Automatic Tax Board shall continue to levy the full amount of the State ad valorem tax for the duration of such donation, or until all legal obligations heretofore authorized by the law granting such donation or donations shall have been fully discharged, whichever shall first occur; provided that if such donation to any such county or political subdivision is for less than the full amount of State ad valorem taxes so levied, the portion of such taxes remaining over and above such donation shall be retained by said county or subdivision.
The word donation / donations appeared six times. Count them for yourself. We must also realize that property tax is not required by examining such words as assess, assessment, render, donation, levy, levied, contribute, surrender, and even the word tax itself. If you look up these words, you’ll be pleasantly surprised that they all – yes, even the word tax – either specifically state, or at least suggest, a voluntary system. In fact, to save you the trouble, why don’t I just give you a few examples of definitions I found in law and normal dictionaries?
Assess - To adjust the shares of a contribution by several towards a common beneficial object according to the benefit received. - Bouviers Law Dictionary
“Assess” is sometimes used as synonymous with “levy.” [Making “levy” also voluntary.] Black’s Law Dictionary, 4th Edition
Assessment - It does not of itself lay the charge upon either person or property, but is a step preliminary thereto, and which is essential to the apportionment...A local assessment can only be levied upon land. It cannot, as a tax can, be made a personal liability of the taxpayer...A tax is a continuing burden; a local assessment is exceptional both as to time and locality; it is brought into being to accomplish a particular purpose. ...Though local assessments...are a peculiar class of taxes and not within the meaning of that term [taxes] as it is usually employed. Bouviers Law Dictionary
Assessment and tax are not synonymous. An assessment is doubtless a tax, but the term implies something more; it implies a tax of a particular kind, predicated upon the principle of equivalents, or benefits, which are peculiar to the persons or property charged therewith, and which are said to be assessed or appraised, according to the measure or proportion of such equivalents; whereas a simple tax is imposed for the purpose of supporting the government generally, without reference to any special advantage which may be supposed to accrue to the persons taxed... 1 Handy, 464. Black’s Law Dictionary, 1st Edition
Contribute - To supply a share or proportional part of money or property towards the prosecution of a common enterprise or the discharge of a joint obligation. Black’s Law Dictionary, 1st Edition
To lend assistance or aid, or give something to a common purpose; to have a share in any act or effect; to discharge a joint obligation. Black’s Law Dictionary, 4th Edition
Contribution - The act of giving to a common stock, or in common with others; the act of lending a portion of powers or influence to a common purpose; the payment of each man’s share of some common expense. Webster’s 1828 Edition
To lend assistance or aid, or give something to a common purpose; to have a share in any act or effect; to discharge a joint obligation. Black’s Law Dictionary, 5th Edition
Donation - Donatio - A gift. Bouviers Law Dictionary
A gift. Black’s Law, 1st Ed. A gift. Black’s Law, 4th Ed. A gift. Black’s Law, 5th Ed.
Levy - To assess...Black’s Law, 4th Ed.
Render - To yield. Bouviers Law Dictionary
(3.) To give on demand; to give; to assign... 6. to surrender; to yield or give up the command or possession of; as to render one’s self to his enemies... (7.) To afford; to give for use or benefit...A surrender; a giving up. Webster’s 1828 Edition
To give up; to yield; to return; to surrender. Black’s Law 5th Ed.
Prender - To take. This word is used to signify the right of taking a thing before it is offered [yielded?]: hence the phrase of law, it lies in render, but not in prender. [ Seems to be the opposite of render, making render voluntary!] Bouviers Law Dictionary
Tax - To impose a tax; to enact or declare that a pecuniary contribution shall be made by the persons liable, for the support of government. Black’s Law Dictionary, 4th Edition”
May I suggest that you purchase a copy of The State Of Texas is a LIAR!! by Daniel Schinzing. There are many pages on property tax and other items of interest.
“The problems facing our nation are rooted in the lack of knowledge of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We have far too much in the way of laws passed by the city, county, state and federal government without putting them to a test as to their constitutionality with the result that flagrant abuses of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are made “the law” on an almost daily basis. No law becomes law unless it has passed scrutiny as to its constitutionality. And about 70 percent of all laws passed since 1933 are unconstitutional because they failed to meet the stringent test as to their constitutionality. These so-called “laws” are null and void and must be eradicated as soon as possible.” – U.S. Constitution and Bill Of Rights - What you don’t know will hurt you! VOL. I - Dr. John Coleman
