| In 1884, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that "the property which every man has in his own labor, as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable." But in The New Income Tax Scandal, drawing from legal and historical sources and from trials of the income tax he conducted in the federal courts, tax reform advocate John C. Garrison shows how Congress abolished the property that workers have in their labor by classifying such labor under income tax as mere “behavior performed by human beings in exchange for compensation.” The legal consequences documented in this book uncover an ongoing scandal of historic and constitutional proportions which profoundly implicates U.S. government at the highest level. |
- How Congress illegally converted the income tax from an excise tax to a direct tax
- How through this misdeed, and to prevent the deduction of living expenses as conservation and maintenance costs of the labor sold by workers, Congress stripped American workers of the legal right they have to claim their labor as their "income-producing property"
- How in actual cases examined, legal precedents affirming a worker's labor to be income-producing property are systematically suppressed by the federal courts to cover up the misdeed of Congress and income tax corruption
- A proposal for reform
