Opting Out of Social Security
Ep. 91

Opting Out of Social Security

Robert Murphy’s article argues that the impending Social Security crisis can be mitigated by allowing Americans to opt out of the system. His proposal suggests individuals could opt out if they represent a net liability to Social Security, potentially improving government finances and offering better investment returns for participants. Murphy acknowledges potential complications, such as impacts on wages and tax revenue, but contends that these are manageable and outweighed by the benefits. A related article by Kevin Murphy and Jeffrey Miron disputes the idea that privatization will improve Social Security’s financial health, instead focusing on the long-term financial challenges posed by the aging population.

Ep. 89

State Sales Tax: Understanding Excise Taxes and Liability
Ep. 87

State Sales Tax: Understanding Excise Taxes and Liability

This legal document analyzes state sales tax laws, arguing that sales tax is an excise tax levied on the privilege of selling at retail, a privilege not afforded private citizens. The text asserts that the tax applies to “persons,” which are defined as legal fictions (corporations, etc.) or individuals acting on behalf of these entities or under agreements with the state. It emphasizes that private citizens engaging in personal transactions are not subject to sales tax due to their inalienable rights. The document further discusses the state’s presumption of liability and common mistakes made by citizens regarding sales tax compliance.

I-9 Form: By What Authority?
Ep. 85

I-9 Form: By What Authority?

This legal analysis argues that the INS Form I-9, purportedly mandating employment eligibility verification, is inapplicable to private sector employers in U.S. states. The argument centers on statutory interpretation of Title 8 of the U.S. Code, which focuses on aliens and nationality, finding that the law’s scope is limited to governmental entities and not private citizens. Relevant Supreme Court case law is cited to support the claim that employment is an inalienable right. The text further explains that even if applicable, the law requires “knowing” hiring of unauthorized aliens, and the I-9 serves only as an affirmative defense for employers, not a mandatory requirement. Finally, the analysis concludes that private sector employers in U.S. states are not legally obligated to use Form I-9.

The Federal Firearms Act: Jurisdiction and Constitutional Limits
Ep. 84

The Federal Firearms Act: Jurisdiction and Constitutional Limits

This legal analysis examines the constitutional basis of 18 U.S. Code, Chapter 44 (the Federal Firearms Act). It argues that the Act’s jurisdiction is deceptively limited, relying on the federal government’s authority over federal territories rather than broad interstate commerce powers. The author claims that changes in the Act’s codification and wording obscure its true scope, intentionally concealing its limitations on federal power. Furthermore, it alleges that certain provisions, although not explicitly repealed, are no longer readily available in published legal codes, hindering public understanding and potentially leading to unfair prosecutions. The ultimate goal is to expose this alleged legal subterfuge, potentially benefiting the firearms industry and American citizens.

Internal Revenue Districts and the IRS
Ep. 83

Internal Revenue Districts and the IRS

This document argues that the IRS’s authority to conduct widespread tax investigations is legally questionable. The author contends that while the President delegated the power to establish internal revenue districts to the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary only defined these districts as limited to customs areas, based on analysis of relevant legal documents, including Executive Order 10289 and the Code of Federal Regulations. This significantly restricts the IRS’s reach beyond customs-related tax matters. The author points out that the executive orders and Treasury orders defining these districts appear to have been rescinded, raising further questions about the IRS’s current authority. The overall purpose is to challenge the IRS’s claimed broad jurisdiction in conducting tax investigations.

Federal Jurisdiction in the United States
Ep. 82

Federal Jurisdiction in the United States

This legal text explains the complexities of federal jurisdiction in the United States. It details the historical evolution of federal power, particularly focusing on the impact of the 14th Amendment and the interstate commerce clause.

Employment Taxes: Subtitle C of the Internal Revenue Code
Ep. 79

Employment Taxes: Subtitle C of the Internal Revenue Code

This legal document analyzes federal employment taxes, arguing that Subtitle C of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), while seemingly imposing taxes on all employers and employees, primarily targets government entities and their workers. The text asserts that Chapter 24, concerning withholding, doesn’t actually impose a tax but rather authorizes withholding of Subtitle A taxes, which are only applicable to those with existing tax liability through contracts with the federal government. Finally, the document suggests that many individuals and businesses unintentionally subject themselves to these taxes by providing their Social Security Numbers (SSNs), creating a legal presumption of tax liability.

Willful Failure to File: Unmasking the IRS Scam
Ep. 78

Willful Failure to File: Unmasking the IRS Scam

The text examines the legal definition of “Willful Failure to File” (26 U.S. Code § 7203), arguing that the IRS and media use fear-mongering to pressure tax filing. It asserts that the actual definition of “person” within the statute (26 U.S. Code § 7343) limits prosecution to corporate officers or partnership members with specific duties related to tax compliance. The author suggests that ordinary citizens are wrongly prosecuted under this charge because they are not included in the legal definition of “person” as it applies to tax law. The text uses examples to illustrate how the definition of “includes” in the tax code creates a narrow category of individuals subject to the charge. Finally, the text concludes that many individuals have been unjustly imprisoned under §7203.

Federal Income Tax: Truth and Consequences
Ep. 77

Federal Income Tax: Truth and Consequences

This text argues that the U.S. federal income tax system is unconstitutionally applied, primarily targeting non-citizens. It claims that the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) applies only to “taxpayers,” defined as those subject to internal revenue taxes, and that most Americans are not subject to these taxes. The document asserts that “income tax” encompasses various taxes, including employment and excise taxes, and that “income tax” under Subtitle A of the IRC only applies to specific forms of income, such as corporate dividends, not ordinary compensation. It contends that providing a tax identification number implies tax liability and that citizens have the right to refuse if they believe a transaction is not taxable. Finally, it alleges that companies improperly demand tax identification numbers due to ignorance or fear, and encourages readers to spread awareness of these claims.

Code of Federal Regulations: Law, Statutes, and Regulations
Ep. 76

Code of Federal Regulations: Law, Statutes, and Regulations

This text explains the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), a system for organizing federal regulations. Regulations clarify statutes passed by Congress, providing the details for their implementation and enforcement. The CFR’s creation was prompted by the need for a centralized, accessible system to manage the growing number of regulations. Regulations have the force of law, but they cannot expand upon an agency’s statutory authority. Finally, the text emphasizes the importance of understanding both statutes and their corresponding regulations to determine the scope of government authority and to ensure compliance.

The United States Code: A Comprehensive Guide
Ep. 75

The United States Code: A Comprehensive Guide

The provided text is an excerpt from a document explaining the United States Code (USC), a compilation of federal statutes organized into titles, subtitles, chapters, and sections. The excerpt details the historical development of the USC and its structure, highlighting the significance of codifying laws. It further explains the constitutional basis for many federal laws, focusing primarily on Congressional authority derived from Articles I and IV. Finally, the text emphasizes the importance of considering the Code of Federal Regulations and case law alongside the USC for a comprehensive understanding of federal law. The excerpt also briefly mentions uncodified statutes and suggests exploring specific titles of the USC for further understanding.

Debunking IRS Lies
Ep. 74

Debunking IRS Lies

This PDF excerpt argues that the U.S. government, particularly the IRS, intentionally misleads citizens through deceptive language and omissions in official publications. The author contends that the government uses legal jargon and strategically omits crucial context to inflate its perceived authority, especially regarding taxation. Several examples of IRS statements are presented, each followed by a “debunking” that claims the IRS is misrepresenting the law. The core argument is that the IRS’s actions constitute lying by omission, designed to maintain the existing tax system despite its allegedly limited legal basis. The author concludes that Congress chooses not to clarify these issues to prevent widespread awareness of the government’s purported overreach.

Constitutional Taxation in the United States
Ep. 73

Constitutional Taxation in the United States

This article from “Constitutional Issues of Taxation.pdf” examines the constitutional limits of federal taxation in the United States. It explains the distinction between direct and indirect taxes, emphasizing the importance of apportionment for direct taxes and uniformity for indirect taxes. The article focuses heavily on the 16th Amendment and its impact on the interpretation of “income tax,” arguing that the amendment’s scope is narrower than generally understood. It further asserts that the current enforcement of income tax might unconstitutionally transform excise taxes into direct taxes, and discusses the implications for taxpayers. Finally, the article highlights the significance of distinguishing between “business” and “private affairs” to avoid unintended tax liabilities.

The Fourteenth Amendment Clarified
Ep. 72

The Fourteenth Amendment Clarified

This PDF excerpt argues that the 14th Amendment created a new class of U.S. citizenship specifically for formerly enslaved people, distinct from the citizenship defined in the original Constitution. The author refutes several interpretations claiming broader application, asserting that the amendment’s purpose was not to fundamentally alter the meaning of citizenship for all Americans but to grant a limited set of civil rights to a specific group. This is supported by analyzing historical context, Supreme Court cases like Dred Scott, and relevant statutory law. The author contends that expansive readings of the 14th Amendment are misrepresentations of its original intent and have unintended consequences for the balance of federal and state power. Several counterarguments are addressed and dismissed as either factually inaccurate or based on misinterpretations of legal precedent.

American Citizenship: A Dual System
Ep. 71

American Citizenship: A Dual System

This legal text analyzes the historical development of citizenship in the United States, distinguishing between state Citizens, possessing inherent, God-given rights, and “citizens of the United States”, whose rights are granted by Congress. The document examines the 14th Amendment’s role in creating a second class of citizenship, focusing on its intent to grant federal citizenship to formerly enslaved people. It further contrasts the rights and protections afforded to each group, highlighting the significantly greater power and resources available to protect the rights of the latter class. Court cases are cited to support the distinctions drawn between these two classes of citizenship and to show the impact of this distinction on the lives of Americans. Finally, the text emphasizes the unequal balance in power between the two, resulting from federal government intervention.

American Constitutions: Principles, Amendments, and Wartime Powers
Ep. 70

American Constitutions: Principles, Amendments, and Wartime Powers

The provided text excerpts from “Constitutions page.pdf” explore the nature and function of constitutions in the United States, particularly differentiating between state and federal constitutions. It emphasizes that constitutions define and limit governmental power, protecting pre-existing citizen rights, rather than creating them. The text details the amendment process, noting that not all constitutional elements are amendable and that amendments have varying scopes of application. Finally, it addresses the limited suspension of constitutional rights (specifically habeas corpus) permissible during wartime, contrasting this with the enduring protection of pre-existing rights.

The text also discusses the manipulation and obfuscation of laws over time and the problems with case law as a source of legal authority. Finally, it notes the disparity between what the law states and how the legal system operates in practice.

Virginia Declaration of Rights
Ep. 68

Virginia Declaration of Rights

The Virginia Declaration of Rights, adopted in 1776, asserts fundamental rights inherent to all people, including life, liberty, and property. It establishes the principle of popular sovereignty, declaring that power resides in the people and that government exists to serve their interests. The document advocates for separation of powers, free elections, and protections against governmental overreach, such as freedom of the press and the right to a trial by jury. Influencing the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, it emphasized individual liberties and limited government. The document also stresses the importance of virtue, moderation and the free exercise of religion.

Why No One Is Required to File Tax Returns
Ep. 67

Why No One Is Required to File Tax Returns

This 1996 self-published book argues that the U.S. federal income tax system is unconstitutional because requiring tax returns forces citizens to waive their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The author, Bill Conklin, details his numerous legal battles against the IRS, highlighting inconsistencies in the IRS’s claim that tax filing is “voluntary.” The book proposes a strategy of refusing to file tax returns while pre-paying estimated taxes to avoid asset seizure, encouraging a mass non-compliance movement to pressure Congress for tax reform. Supporting arguments are provided from legal experts and case law, emphasizing the lack of a statute explicitly mandating individual tax filing. The ultimate goal is to abolish the income tax and the IRS.

Taxes and the Constitution
Ep. 66

Taxes and the Constitution

The document aims to educate readers about these legal intricacies and encourage them to challenge what it views as governmental overreach.

Ep. 64

⚖️ Cryer's Tax Liability and the Federal Taxing Power

This is a legal memorandum written by Tommy K. Cryer, a Louisiana attorney, to support his motion to dismiss tax evasion charges. Cryer argues that his income, derived solely from his legal practice, is not subject to federal income tax. His argument rests on the principle of strict construction of tax laws, asserting that the Internal Revenue Code doesn’t “plainly and clearly” tax his revenue. He further contends that his income is exempt because the practice of law falls under state, not federal, jurisdiction, and that taxing it would infringe upon his fundamental constitutional right to pursue his chosen profession. The memorandum extensively cites Supreme Court precedents to support these claims.

The Federal Mafia
Ep. 63

The Permanent War Economy: Military Spending and American Capitalism
Ep. 54

The Permanent War Economy: Military Spending and American Capitalism

This excerpt from “The Pentagon vs. the Economy” argues that excessive military spending harms the U.S. economy. The author uses Frédéric Bastiat’s concept of “what is seen and what is not seen” to illustrate how military spending diverts resources from productive sectors. It contends that this leads to inflated costs, inefficient production, and a misallocation of scientific talent. The text further highlights the corrupting influence of military contracts on private firms, exemplified by cost-plus contracts and political engineering. Examples such as the F-22 Raptor program are used to demonstrate the massive cost overruns and lack of accountability within the defense industry. Ultimately, the author asserts that current military spending is economically unsustainable and detrimental to long-term economic growth.

Ep. 53

The Tom Woods Letter: Essays on Liberty

This book compiles excerpts from a libertarian author’s daily emails, focusing primarily on critiques of leftist ideologies and policies. The author challenges common narratives, such as labor unions’ role in creating the weekend and the supposed motives behind the American Revolution. He recounts personal anecdotes and interactions with those holding opposing viewpoints, using these encounters to illustrate what he views as the illogical and often harmful nature of leftist thinking. The writing style is informal and provocative, employing humor and sarcasm to convey the author’s strong opinions while promoting his own educational products and services. A recurring theme is the promotion of individual liberty and limited government, contrasting it with what the author sees as the overreach and hypocrisy of the left.

🤔 Our Enemy, the Fed
Ep. 52

🤔 Our Enemy, the Fed

This ebook, “Our Enemy, the Fed,” argues that the Federal Reserve System (the Fed), the U.S. central bank, is harmful to the American economy. The author contends the Fed’s manipulation of the money supply has caused instability, decreased the dollar’s value, and fostered unsustainable economic booms and busts. Evidence from historical economic data is presented to challenge the commonly held belief that the Fed promotes economic stability. The book advocates for a return to sound money, arguing that government intervention in monetary policy is inherently flawed and ultimately detrimental. Finally, it highlights the growing public awareness and criticism of the Fed’s actions.

💥 Secession: A Constitutional and Moral Case
Ep. 51

💥 Secession: A Constitutional and Moral Case

This ebook argues for the legitimacy of secession in the United States, citing historical precedents and philosophical arguments. The author contends that deeply divided moral universes among Americans necessitate a peaceful separation rather than continued conflict. He contrasts the Hobbesian model of a unified, indivisible state with the Althusian model of a federation of independent societies. The text examines historical examples of secessionist movements and explores practical considerations, including debt division and the role of state conventions. Ultimately, it proposes secession as a humane solution to intractable political and social divisions.

Education Without the State

This eBook, Education Without the State, compiles podcast interviews advocating for the privatization of education. The authors argue that government-run schools are inefficient and ineffective, citing examples of low-cost private schools thriving in developing nations that outperform their publicly funded counterparts. They contend that parents would find ways to fund education without state intervention, and that the current system’s structure stifles creativity and individual learning. The book promotes alternative educational models, such as homeschooling and unschooling, emphasizing the importance of self-directed learning and parental involvement. Finally, it promotes the Ron Paul Curriculum, a video-based homeschooling program as a solution to the challenges of traditional schooling.

Ep. 49

The Deregulation Myth and the 2008 Financial Crisis

This text comprises excerpts from Tom Woods’s book, Deregulation Bogeyman, which challenges the conventional wisdom blaming the 2008 financial crisis on deregulation.
