Northfield, NH Selectmen Meeting Feb 4th
The Selectmen of Northfield are not happy about Jason Gerhard's use of RSA 39:3 which allows a warrant article to be placed onto the town warrant without their input. Towards the end they are warned about a possible defamation lawsuit from someone present due to comments made about Mr. Gerhard.
This warrant article reads as follows:
We the people of Northfield, New Hampshire respectfully request that the Board of Selectmen requires the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to answer the following questions in common language within the soonest time possible:
1. Where is the word “income” defined in the IRS code? According to former IRS Commissioner Sheldon Cohen it isn’t defined anywhere within the code. [This is clearly documented on video in Aaron Russo’s “America: Freedom to Fascism”]
2. Where in the code is it written that the average American, who does not exercise a federal privilege, but simply trades his time for money, is liable to pay the federal income tax?
3. Why have numerous IRS publications, IRS Directors, and U.S. Congressmen, among others, stated that the income tax is “voluntary”?
For example:
In 1953, Mr. Dwight E. Avis, head of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, made the following remarkable statement to a subcommittee of the Committee on Ways and Means in the House of Representatives:
“Let me point this out now: Your income tax is 100 percent voluntary tax, and your liquor tax is 100 percent enforced tax. Now, the situation is as different as day and night.”
[Hearings before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Ways and Means Feb. 3 thru Mar. 13, 1953]
