On the occasion of Tax Day we have added some materials on the ratification
of the income tax amendment at
http://www.constitution.org/tax/us-ic/ratif/expose.htm

Perhaps the most interesting are images of the official correspondence
between Sec. of State Philander Knox and the Chief Clerk of the Office of
the Solicitor. They reveal much, and conceal much.

Then Secretary of State Philander Knox assumed the duty of declaring whether
a proposed constitutional amendment had been ratified. There was no
statutory or constitutional basis for that, only custom. However, as the
correspondence indicates, he or his office did not review the evidence of
ratification by the states directly. That was apparently done in the Office
of the Solicitor, a department of the Office of the U.S. Attorney-General.
Know relied on a report from the Chief Clerk of the Office of the Solicitor.
That report reveals just enough of the problems with the ratification
process to provide cover for the Chief Clerk if the entire process came to
light, while discounting the problems as unimportant. We don't know whether
Knox was personally aware of the problems with the evidence beyond what the
Chief Clerk revealed, but by keeping the matter at arms length in that way,
it also provided a cover for Knox if exposure occurred. This is a classic
model of government fraud, where responsibility and information is divided
so that if exposure occurs the fraud can be explained as an oversight or
administrative error.

Fraud or incompetence? You decide.

You can follow the links back to other pages on our site with more materials
on this issue. Regardless of your position on the question of the lawfulness
of the income tax, it is well to be informed on the underlying documentation
and legal argument.

We will be rendering the images into HTML pages in the next few days.

The world’s biggest banks and multinational corporations have set up a shadowy system to secretly move trillions of dollars—a system that can be exploited by tax evaders, drug runners and even terrorists. Ernest Backes, circa 1981. Ernest Backes exposed this dubious system and has launched a personal crusade for international oversight—earning him some high-powered and dangerous enemies.
