Dear Secretary:
I have recently read an article on the Internet, posted at Taxgate.com, regarding the rights of U.S. Citizens not to be subject to the Social Security Act, the Social Security taxes imposed in Subtitle C of the IRC (as they are dependent upon the definitions in the Social Security Act), and how it is that all fingers point to your Office when questions arise regarding the rights of U.S. Citizens to not be subject to this Act and the taxes imposed in the Act.
It is apparent from the words of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Railroad Retirement Board v. Alton Railroad Co., 295 U.S. 330, 55 S. Ct. 758 (1935), that the U.S. Congress lacked the power and authority to make laws compelling the provision of retirement income, health care, and many other things, under the limitations of their authority under the Constitution.
In light of that ruling, it is apparent that the U.S. Congress took heed of these words when it enacted the Social Security Act (SSA) and made the requirement for the assignment of numbers to persons only compulsory for aliens at their lawful time of admission to the U.S. This is so stated in Title 42 § 405(c)(2)(B). It is also of further importance to recognize that the creation of SSA was in pursuance to the International Labor Agreement (ILA), which was a treaty between many nations to provide for a standardization of treatment and care of the nationals of each nation working in the others. With this in mind, it is easy to see why it is that the Congress only made registration into SSA mandatory for aliens.
There is also the fact of the limitation of the authority of the Congress to reach the individuals within the 50 states, living and working in their respective states and not involved in interstate commerce. Nevertheless, the Congress did not make the law compulsory for U.S. Citizens as most have been led to believe. In fact, in the regulation promulgated by your Office regarding an identifying number, your Office does not have any authority to force assignment of numbers pursuant to 26 CFR § 301.6109.
Therefore, it is plainly apparent that U.S. Citizens have the right as U.S. Citizens to not be subject to the Social Security Act, are not subject to the taxes imposed by the Act and collected under 26 U.S.C. in Subtitle C, "Employment Taxes", as most never made applications as adults but were assigned numbers by their parent’s actions without informed consent, and those who did so as adults were not informed of their rights before signing the SS-5 registration form.
It is a legal fact that all of these registrations, used to capture U.S. Citizens into the Act, are not acceptable and legal under State minor laws and the doctrine of law which states that ignorance of one’s right does not prejudice the right.
In my review of another related article on the rights of U.S. Citizens, I learned that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Review (OSC), and the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO) all have authority under laws enacted by the U.S. Congress to provide protection and procedure for the assertion of the rights of protected individuals under these laws they are to enforce. It is plainly stated in the law that U.S. Citizens are the first protected individuals. Yet, these agencies refuse to offer any assistance in, or information as to why it is that they refuse to aid these protected individuals, in the assertion and reclaiming of their rights, to 100% of their pay from employers who are interfering with this right by refusing to recognize the rights of the Citizen, as seen by the U.S. Supreme Court and within the letter of the IRC and the Social Security Act, or refuse to hire a U.S. Citizen who claims to not have a Social Security Number.
I want to know what you are going to do to help those U.S. Citizens, who desire to be free, to be free, or is your Office going to continue to avoid this issue?
Tell me, is your Office remaining silent due to the fact that you have no authority over U.S. Citizens who maintain their right to be not subject to the Social Security Act?
I want to know why the OSC defers to OCAHO, who defers to the EEOC, who defers to the IRS, and why the SSA/HHS defers to the IRS, when confronted by this subject?
Why do all roads in the investigation of the law regarding this right, lead to the Office of the Secretary of the Treasury?
I want to know why it is that these agencies (EEOC, OSC, and OCAHO) are avoiding their primary function, the protection of the inherent rights of U.S. Citizens? Does your Office have anything to do with this?
Did your Office send any communication to Ms. Ellen Vargys, General Counsel for the EEOC, to reject (any or all) complaints asserting this right?
Has the rule of law as set forth in the wording of the Social Security Act been rendered by you to be of no legal effect and thus you have single handedly rendered the legislative power of the Congress to be politically irrelevant?
Is the legal doctrine of the protection of an obscured right no longer in existence in American Jurisprudence? Or is that only revoked in regards to the Social Security Act?
Are contracts with minors illegal except in the case of the Social Security Administration?
It is apparent that the Secretary of the Department of the Treasury is the one with the legal responsibility to answer the questions of:
Why it is that U.S. Citizens will not be released from the Social Security Act, when it was not created to be compulsory for them to register (that is why they must make the voluntary act of application)?
And;
Why it is it that U.S. Citizens must be presumed to be subject to the Act and thus taxed, despite the fact that there is no law making it mandatory for U.S. Citizens to be registered.
I want this investigated. I want what is rightfully mine. The author of these articles on Taxgate.com spent four years researching this and other issues, and found the SSA admitting again and again, that the registration of U.S. Citizens into Social Security is voluntary, but that the SSA could not provide any law to support its claim that those unregistered Citizens are still subject to the tax imposed in the Act.
Tell me this Mr. Secretary. If the tax is imposed in the Act, and U.S. Citizens are not required to be registered in and thus subject to the Act, then how does an unregistered Citizen become subject to the tax imposed in the Act which they are not subject to?
There must be a law, enacted by the Congress, making all subject to the Act, but there is not; as U.S. Citizens are only subject through application and aliens are the only mandatory/compulsory subjects.
The authors of the article say there is no law, as those employers who have acknowledged and documented the rights of Citizens who have asserted their rights, and stopped withholdings, have either never heard from the IRS, or survived the audits, with the IRS having no ability to take penalty action against them.
In fact, it appears that when the Citizen properly asserts all of his rights against each IR law, the IRS cannot say anything about them and their earnings. This silence appears to create more fear in the minds of employers who do not understand that the Congress makes the laws, and the rights of the People are maintained within the laws as enacted, not given by the laws. Therefore, many employers refuse to recognize the rights of U.S. Citizens, despite the fact that their rights are provided for in Title 26 U.S.C., Title 8, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Prove this wrong, and you will end a tide that has been silently rising for over 10 years.
Find this law and you will stop the tide, which many Americans are seeking to swell.
If you cannot find this law, then I want to know if your Office has anything to do with the EEOC, and OSC refusing to help U.S. Citizens recover this right.
I am now asking you, what are you going to do to help U.S. Citizens recover this right which exists outside of the legislative authority of the U.S. Congress and thus your authority also?
What has happened to the rule of law as enacted by the Congress?
When did you become above the rule of the authority of the Congress?
By what authority does the Treasury Department ignore the laws enacted by the Congress, and thus render their authority and the rights of the People politically irrelevant?
The laws the Congress has written and enacted have been acceptable on this matter, but the actions of your Office have been supported by nothing short of evasive lies and innuendo to convince most Americans and the Congress that there is some legal authority for holding all U.S. Citizens subject to the Social Security Act.
Mr. Secretary, Americans in droves are learning the truth about the Social Security Act, and the history of their rights to all of their money and that the Social Security Act never compelled their registration. We are learning that there is nothing constitutionally wrong with the laws Congress and their predecessors have been enacting, just that you have been given Carte Blanche by someone to ignore them at will. We the People of America are not going to be the ones giving silent consent anymore.
We now see how the Office of the Secretary of the Treasury has been usurping the rights of the People, and the rule of law by the Congress, by forcing uninformed registration at birth. Some will work to see this stopped and corrected, and there is no sense fighting it.
Social Security has never been solvent as all of the money collected was placed in the General Fund. It is unsalvageable, unless you want to make the U.S. Government the majority stockholder of all American businesses. Therefore, this insanity and violation of the American principles and American principles of law must end soon, like right now.
We demand that now and today, the laws enacted by the Congress be followed, not just by the Citizens, but also by the Federal Government. Otherwise, what good is the Rule of law, and what good is their legislative power?
I am urging my Congressional Officials to investigate this matter to find that the Treasury Department has not been acting in accordance with the laws your political and controlling body has enacted. It is apparent at this point that your Office has long been violating the rule of the Congress and leading the Executive Branch in a 'Rebellion' against the Rule of the Laws enacted by the Congress.
Should your rebellion be proved, all who have supported you and your Office should be disenfranchised, banned from any welfare program supported by the Federal Government, banned from future government employment, and entitled to transport to the despotic country of choice upon release from prison. We have no place for such arrogant lawlessness in this Republic, and such people can not be trusted nor provided for.
I hope that you will stand with me in insisting that the laws made by the authority of the Congress be followed, even by you. If you do not I will not be surprised.
Should you resist actively, or passively by not responding, our numbers will grow in any event. Remember, that as this becomes a larger political movement, the system you may be seeking to hold together from its present pace of disintegration, will only disintegrate faster.
We the People know that you should figure out a way to help us re-create and return to the RULE of LAW in America.
The choice is yours.
I expect a timely and on-point response from you regarding this matter within 30 days from your receipt of this letter. Off-point letters will only be deemed evidence that your Office does not want to face this matter.
Sincerely,
Your Name
