CONGRESSIONAL_FINDINGS

The following documents tell a very sad story for the People of this Country!

These documents were available as early as 1995 to our Congresspersons and Senators! That being true isn’t it about time to ask why do we still have any income tax laws?

Do a search for ‘income tax not needed’ on the web to find out why any form of taxation is not needed to fund any governments.

SENATE FINDINGS

_______________________________

TITLE I--FINDINGS; NEED TO REPLACE THE INCOME TAX

SEC. 101. RESTRUCTURING AND REPLACING THE INCOME TAX OF THE UNITED STATES.

(a) FINDINGS- The Congress finds that--

(1) to provide for the prosperity of future generations, the United States must achieve higher levels of saving and investment, which will in turn increase productivity, economic growth, and living standards;

(2) the Tax Code is an important element of our national saving policy;

(3) the current Tax Code is irreparably flawed and should be replaced with a new progressive system which promotes saving and investment, and thus more rapid economic growth, while ensuring fairness through progressive taxation;

(4) all individuals at all income levels should be given a fair opportunity to save, invest, and raise their standard of living and that of their children;

(5) future economic growth requires a tax system that facilitates successful competition in the global marketplace;

(6) the tax system of the United States must be as simple and efficient as possible; and

(7) to ensure that national saving is increased, reform of the tax system must not increase the Federal budget deficit.

CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS

(a) Findings Relating to Federal Income Tax- Congress finds the Federal income tax--

(1) retards economic growth and has reduced the standard of living of the American public;

(2) impedes the international competitiveness of United States industry;

(3) reduces savings and investment in the United States by taxing income multiple times;

(4) slows the capital formation necessary for real wages to steadily increase;

(5) lowers productivity;

(6) imposes unacceptable and unnecessary administrative and compliance costs on individual and business taxpayers;

(7) is unfair and inequitable;

(8) unnecessarily intrudes upon the privacy and civil rights of United States citizens;

(9) hides the true cost of government by embedding taxes in the costs of everything Americans buy;

(10) is not being complied with at satisfactory levels and therefore raises the tax burden on law abiding citizens; and

(11) impedes upward social mobility.

(b) Findings Relating to Federal Payroll Taxes- Congress finds further that the Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes and self-employment taxes--

(1) raise the cost of employment;

(2) destroy jobs and cause unemployment; and

(3) have a disproportionately adverse impact on lower income Americans.

(1) force family businesses and farms to be sold by the family to pay such taxes;

(2) discourage capital formation and entrepreneurship;

(3) foster the continued dominance of large enterprises over small family-owned companies and farms; and

(4) impose unacceptably high tax planning costs on small businesses and farms.
