Tax Historian Says US Income Tax Is an Excise Tax

 

 

 

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- John Garrison,

prominent tax law historian and legal specialist at Florida's Office of

the Attorney General, today announced that the income tax is being

erroneously enforced on employees as a direct tax rather than as the

excise mandated by the Sixteenth Constitutional Amendment. The current

enforcement as a direct tax is costing working Americans thousands of

improperly collected tax dollars over the course of their lifetime.

Garrison is currently writing about his findings in his book "The New

Income Tax Scandal" which he is co-authoring with Brian Stabley, J.D.,

an Assistant Attorney General at Florida's Office of the Attorney

General.

 

"'The New Income Tax Scandal' is about the corruption that lies at

the heart of the tax system," said Garrison. "As a result of my legal

case against the IRS in 2000, the IRS now privately concedes that, in

1915, after the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment, the U.S.

Supreme Court ruled in the case of Brushaber v. Union Pacific that an

income tax is an excise tax, and that it is to be enforced as such. An

excise is not a direct tax on property, but an indirect tax. The

critical difference is that a collection of income tax as an excise

allows for the deduction of all living expenses since they are seen as

necessary for the maintenance and conservation of one's income

producing property, one's labor. With a direct tax, this is not

possible. Given this, it appears that up to my legal case, the IRS had

been operating as if it had no awareness of the Sixteenth Amendment's

intent. Clearly, this revelation has enormous political and economic

implications for every American employee and it is my hope that my book

will compel policy makers to right this obvious injury to American

workers."

 

John Garrison has been engaged in tax law research and tax reform

activism for over two decades. He currently serves as a legal

specialist at Florida's Office of the Attorney General, Bureau of

Administrative Law.

 

Brian Stabley is an Assistant Attorney General at Florida's Office

of the Attorney General, Bureau of Administrative Law.
