Irwin Schiff’s lecture, transcribed from a YouTube video, contends that the federal income tax is a voluntary system, not mandated by law. He argues that Americans have been misled into believing it is compulsory, causing undue financial and emotional distress. Schiff claims that the IRS, with the support of tax professionals and the media, engages in organized extortion. He points to government documents and congressional letters to support his claim that no specific law requires individuals to pay income taxes. Schiff also provides procedures for protecting oneself from the IRS, including challenging notices of levy with sworn affidavits and resisting property seizures. He asserts that IRS agents lack the authority to enforce tax laws, and that the agency relies on intimidation and misinformation. The lecture also discusses the misuse of regulations and the lack of due process in IRS procedures, advocating for a return to constitutional principles.

The article examines the growing disparity between the U.S. population and the fixed number of representatives in the House. It highlights how the population-to-representative ratio has increased dramatically since 1790, diluting the value of individual votes. The author examines the historical context of capping House membership at 435 in 1929, despite the population tripling since. The paper suggests that this dilution can lead to voter disenfranchisement, political polarization, and difficulties in effective governance. Potential solutions, such as expanding the House or exploring alternative electoral systems, are considered, along with their potential challenges.

This is an excerpt from Frederick Douglass’s essay “Why is the Negro Lynched?” made available by Project Gutenberg. The essay addresses the rise of lynching in the South and the false accusations levied against Black men, particularly the charge of assaulting white women. Douglass challenges the motives and credibility of the accusers, highlighting the historical context of slavery and the ongoing denial of Black citizens’ rights. He refutes claims that Black suffrage or ignorance is the root of Southern problems, pointing instead to the deeply ingrained racial prejudice and economic exploitation. Douglass advocates for justice, equality, and the upholding of constitutional rights as the true solution to the “Negro problem,” and criticizes schemes of colonization as an evasion of true justice. The essay implores America to live up to its ideals of liberty and equality for all citizens.
