JOHN C. GARRISON serves in state government in the area of Administrative Law. In a separate and personal effort, he has been engaged in the study of federal tax history and law and in tax reform activism for over two decades.
In The New Income Tax Scandal, tax historian John C. Garrison contends that if the income tax were applied according to the actual intent of the 16th Constitutional
(or Income Tax) Amendment, living expenses such as food, shelter and health care,
necessary to keep workers fit to produce income, would be as tax deductible as the costs of doing business. Gleaned from 20 years of historical research and tax reform activism, this book reveals new shocking and scandalous findings about our income tax system.
Inside these pages, you'll discover:
* How Congress illegally converted the income tax from an excise tax to a direct tax
* How through this misdeed, Congress has swindled workers out of millions and tramples on their political freedoms
* How the intent of the 16th Amendment, which included the income tax as a tax on the rich, was later betrayed by Congress to include all the workers
* How legal precedents showing a worker's labor to be income-producing property are suppressed by federal judges to prevent the deduction of living expenses
* How federal courts act outside the law and judges lie and break the rules to cover up income tax corruption
* A proposed new tax system for resolving the current inequities
As preparation for public discourse, The New Income Tax Scandal provides vital knowledge of what is at stake as our government considers tax reform.
