Refusal to pay tax
Refusal to pay tax
Special thanks
At this point we thank all courageous people who refuse to pay taxes, who have stayed true to their ideals despite state persecution and have even been incarcerated for it. With their courage and consistency on the path of peaceful civil disobedience these great heroes and martyrs have forced the government to drop its mask of democracy and freedom so that the brutal, cruel grotesque face of the out-and-out tyrannical state force has become visible to the whole world. The consistency and willingness to make sacrifices of these people who refuse to pay taxes moved us to start this campaign.
Indian movement of refusal to pay taxes
Mahatma Gandhi is the most famous tax rebel in Indian history. With the legendary salt march Gandhi’s peaceful fighters demonstrated how to deliberately break tax laws in an organized and publicly effective way. (cf. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi, accessed on 06.04.2009)
Germanic culture of refusal to pay tax
The glorious Germanic tribes were obviously the freest people in the world: „The Romans’ attempt to levy a tax on the Germanic tribes, who only knew taxation as a voluntary tribute of honor to the princes in pre-Roman times, is supposed to have been the reason for the Battle in the Teutoburg Forest.” (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steuer, accessed on 13.04.2009)
The German culture of refusing to pay tax is as alive as it ever was; there were and are still people who take on the puppet government of the Allies, which has ruled Germany since the end of the Second World War, and refuse to pay tax.
Only the foreign rule of the Allies is obviously not to be compared with the rule of the former Germanic princes, for today the “taxes” are collected by the German bureaucrats with an unparalleled state terror.
I know one person who refused to pay tax, whose German bank accounts were all immediately blocked so that he would in this way have been paralyzed at once as an entrepreneur, since he would have been unable to pay his bills any longer if he had not had a supply of cash.
Those are the methods used by the state mafia to checkmate people who refuse to pay tax and force them to give in and bow to government tax terrorism.

British tax freedom rebels
It is praiseworthy that the English also remember that they were born free and are not the property of a tyrannical government.
Thus a judge was even arrested by the English population or by the tax rebels who stormed the courtroom because he dared to take action against a person who refused to pay tax. That’s what I call real rule by the people! This is the highlight of the freedom from tax movement! Absolutely exemplary! Don’t fail to watch the videos about the protests at:

American heroes who refuse to pay taxes
The most prominent critic of the IRS (US tax authority) is certainly the former IRS agent Joe Banister. He underwent a conversion from Saul to Paul. When even employees of tax offices become radical opponents of tax, this is very encouraging and gives us the courage to oppose taxation!

Joe Banister is, however, not the only IRS agent who changed sides. It is commendable that a woman called Sherry Jackson also had the courage to resist state-organized tax robbery:

The famous “tree woman“ Julia Butterfly Hill has also joined the tax refusal movement. She became famous because she lived in a tree for two years. There she took a stand for the protection of the forest from clearance and successfully prevented a large, ancient tree and many other wonderful centuries-old trees from being felled.
A firm then used her photo for advertising without her permission and for this Julia Butterfly Hill was awarded a high amount of compensation in a lawsuit. Although Julia Butterfly Hill wanted to use this compensation for her non-profit projects, the IRS demanded her to pay a large share of so-called “tax” on the money.
Julia Butterfly Hill, however, complained that she – unlike the IRS – wanted to use the money for the public good and refused to pay the demanded protection money – oh, pardon, I meant “tax money” – to the IRS. You can learn more about this and how the story continued in the following video:

Those are the people who still save America’s honor partly at least and show that at least some Americans stand up for freedom and peace, thus proving that they are capable of something better than funding the worldwide campaigns of destruction by the US military and secret services with their dutifully paid taxes, thereby brutally killing millions of people and even torturing children and adults with the cruelest of methods.
Here is another example of heroic Americans such as we love, namely the married couple Ed und Elaine Brown - brave and intrepid and ready to defend fundamental rights to freedom against the state mafia to the death. These righteous Americans with their readiness to make sacrifices are the exact opposite of what people in the world mostly experience from the Americans. They are not the cowardly, egocentric, sadistic, fraudulent, power-hungry, lying and perfidious monsters who go through the world killing, robbing and pillaging.
The couple had barricaded themselves into their apartment and resolutely refused to pay the demanded tax to the amount of several hundred thousand dollars. The government mafia tricked these heroes in an underhand way, sneaked into their apartment as alleged supporters, arrested them and threw them into prison. With these methods the government officials lost even the last bit of respect that they might still have had before and the heroes who refused to pay tax will go down in history as martyrs of a regime of state terrorism, enslavement and injustice.
The government has only one argument against refusal to pay tax and that is force. If that is not enough, the state terrorists resort to even more violence and if that is still not enough the state also has the answer of torture and total terror against upright, freedom-loving and righteous people. Ed Brown was also a victim of state violence.

The incarceration and torture of these heroes of the American fight for liberation from government arbitrariness and state terrorism is not perhaps the end of this movement but, on the contrary, the starting shot for our worldwide campaign.
Ron Paul, the American presidential candidate of German origin, also gives his opinion on Ed und Elaine Brown’s refusal to pay tax and even compares these heroes to Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King.
Ron Paul on Ed & Elaine Brown:

We thank Ed und Elaine Brown from the bottom of our hearts for their courage, their consistency and their readiness to make sacrifices. Dear Ed und Elaine Brown, your incarceration is oil on the fire of the worldwide movement of refusal to pay tax. We are proud of you and you have shown the world that that there are still good, upright, freedom-loving and altruistic Americans.
Religiously motivated refusal to pay tax
In the movement for tax freedom there are many religiously motivated people, to whom it is clear that the government uses their money for such bad crimes as wars, state surveillance, abortion, subsidies to tobacco growers, a soul-destroying school system and other terrible things. Against this background, it is not acceptable for people who have not abandoned their consciences outside the doors of the institutions also to support such a system hostile to people and life with their tax money.
You can find further comments about the above-mentioned subjects on the website www.politics4liberty.com. You can find links to religious content on our website www.campaign4homeschooling.com / Further information.
However, we must express a clear warning here: in many “Christian“ churches there are clergymen who have been bought by the government mafia and who deliberately and systematically mislead the souls of the members of their congrations on behalf of the government. So also beware of these church institutions! (Cf. Feds Train Clergy To "Quell Dissent" During Martial Law: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/august2007/160807_quell_dissent.htm, accessed on 06.06.2011.)
Methods of refusal to pay tax
There are both legal and illegal methods of refusing to pay tax. In the following we first of all want to deal with the legal methods. This above all concerns income tax because it offers the greatest room for legal avoidance.
Below we explain some legal possibilities for the self-employed and freelancers to avoid paying income tax. These have been developed for all those who live in the extremist countries of excessive taxation:
1.Make sure your income remains below the tax-free allowance.
a.Necessary business expenses are to be coordinated with your tax in such a way that as far as possible they only incur to the extent that it can be foreseen that your business earnings will considerably exceed the tax-free allowance. The aim of this is to steer your business expenses in such a way that after deduction of the expenses from the turnover the remaining amount is just below the tax-free allowance. This is one method which is in any case already practiced by many small entrepreneurs and freelancers, particularly by those who involuntarily only have small turnovers. The disadvantage of this method is that your entire business revolves around income tax. Don’t accept any more orders once you have nearly reached the tax-free allowance – after deduction of business expenses. For the rest of the year you can then have a nice holiday in a pleasant place where you can live at a low cost. What about sun, beach and sea? You can get advice on nice, low-cost areas for a long-term holiday from Frank Woeckel, see www.coach4emigration.com.
b.Organize the payment for an order as far as possible in such a way that it is spread over two or even more years, when your tax-free allowance would be exceeded with a single payment. When you, for example, look after a client for several years, it should be clear that you arrange payment dates suitable for your tax. Thus the payment date should not be fixed for 1 January of the following year if you can still obtain tax-free earnings for the current year. In the case described this money should have been transferred to your account or paid in cash by the last day of the current year.
c.Donate the earnings which exceed your tax-free allowance to tax-deductible initiatives, foundations etc. and, if necessary, create a foundation yourself. In this way you could, for example, support our Campaign for Tax freedom (or also our other campaigns, which are likewise led by Frank Woeckel, such as Campaign for Homeschooling www.campaign4homeschooling.com, Campaign for Nonsmokers‘ Rights www.passivesmoking.com, Campaign for Animal Welfare www.campaign4animalwelfare.com, Campaign for Men‘s Rights www.campaign4mensrights.com). Provided the volume of donations is sufficiently high we will gladly create a tax-deductible foundation.
d.Do as much business as possible outside the official currency systems, for example using barter or a non-convertible currency not relevant for tax purposes.
e.Arrange for the founder of this campaign to act as business coach for your business. You can normally deduct the costs of this from your tax. (You can find more about Frank Woeckel’s coaching and consultation at www.woeckelcoaching.com.)
2.Emigration
Emigrate and relocate your business in a tax oasis. You can obtain individual advice, coaching and support concerning this from Frank Woeckel, see www.coach4emigration.com.
Sales tax, also called consumption, value-added or consumer tax, is levied on the sale of goods and services and can only be reduced if you reduce your expenses to a minimum. That is possible in various ways:
1.Be largely self-sufficient in essential goods, thus reducing your costs for services, rent and consumer goods. You can find more about our project in this respect on the website www.sunfoodhome.com.
2.Use barter as much as possible and also trade in a privately created (alternative) currency not relevant to taxation, as already described above in point e.
3.Reduce your consumption and optimize your lifestyle in such a way that you simply omit everything superfluous or even harmful. In particular do not smoke as you will not only do yourself a favour but also your partner and all non-smokers, who would otherwise have to suffer from passive smoking. In this way you will, above all, also starve the enslaving government, for because of the high tax on tobacco you primarily smoke to fill the government fat cats’ pockets. You likewise fill the pockets of the pharma mafia, who earn a mint from your smoker diseases and desire nothing more eagerly than to see you ill. You can find more about this subject of the tobacco plague at www.passivesmoking.org.
One of the favourite methods of the government mafia to eliminate regime critics is simply to starve them out. Thus, for example, the bank accounts of homeschoolers and people who refuse to pay tax in Germany were simply blocked by the government so that the victims were no longer able to pay their rent, buy food or pay for legal aid.
So let’s hit back and now starve out the state mafia!
Please remember that when you buy goods in a shop, it is not only the value-added tax that goes to the government but the prices of the products naturally include all other taxes the company had to pay in its production, transport and sale, e.g. trade tax, income tax for the employees, so-called supplementary wage costs, etc. In the extremist countries with excessive tax you can therefore assume that when you buy a product or pay your rent roughly half the amount you pay goes to the government. So the product or service would be only half as expensive if there were no taxes and supplementary wage costs.
To summarize once more, the tactics to minimize your taxes described here are a political act of legal civil disobedience towards the (un)constitutional state.
Besides this, Mahatma Gandhi also practiced some illegal forms of civil disobedience by deliberately breaking ruling tax laws with public effect. His so-called salt march is a famous example of this.
(cf. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi, accessed on 06.04.2009).
This stepping up of resistance may possibly be necessary under certain conditions, especially when the government increasingly reduces all so-called tax loopholes and other legal possibilities to avoid tax and the state acts with such tyrannical force that it even fights the legal possibilities, for example, forbids alternative currencies and even wants to levy tax on barter and gifts, penalizes property for purposes of self-sufficiency by levying excessive taxes on it and imposing other conditions and fees.
Prognosis
If the majority of the population continue to lag and languish irresponsibly, unscrupulously and obedient to the government as they have done up to now – only thinking of their own interests and indifferent to the consequences of their own actions – it is to be assumed that the state tax terror will massively increase almost everywhere in the world. Thus other forms of government terrorism will also become rampant.
The most powerful countries of the world with excessive taxation, such as the USA, Germany, etc. today are already taking action with virtually all available legal and illegal means of pressure to destroy the so-called tax havens. In principle these countries with excessive taxation are doing nothing but waging a tax world war with the aim of pressing all people in all countries into an out-and-out tyrannical, one-world tax slavery from which there is no way out, at any rate not for all the people who do not belong to the super-rich elite of evil, and they make up 99% of the population.
The government robs you of your honestly earned money in a racketeering manner, then to use this money to harm you and your fellowmen.
At present there are still limited possibilities of evasion but in the long term people will only be able to liberate themselves from tax slavery by showing massive resistance to the government’s tax terrorism. Let’s follow the example of the ancient Germanic tribes and likewise Mahatma Gandhi’s tax liberation movement!
