USE TAX

The time is fast approaching when a Presidential Executive Order and/or Act of Congress might revamp the format of the Treasury Department's Internal Revenue Service, affecting their close relations with revenue departments of each state/county/city/township, involving acquisition of Social Security (FICA) taxation, property taxes, income-tax assistance services, a plethoria of tax-break and tax exemption annuity, gift-contribution, and other clauses of charitable plus non-profit organizations, etc.

In our solidly-internet-integrated society, with instant electronic bill-payment transfer using credit and debit cards with bar codes at checkout counters in all types of stores selling a plethoria of myriad types of merchandise, the situation is ripe for the federal and state governments to get their public-services-funded taxation monies (and satisfy their homeland-security curiosity of who has how much and the amount each whoever uses whenever to buy whatever they do wherever) with a consumer use tax - known by such names as a National Sales Tax and Fair Tax - paid on the spot by consumers for items and services they purchase.

The new multi-colored bills which the Treasury Dept is putting out make it much more difficult to duplicate as counterfeits at such copy outlets as The UPS Store and Kinko's. Thus, the questionable bills that one can be suspicious of now are the old simplistic grey-green bills - fewer and fewer of which are still in circulation.

Again, in our present age of a gigabit and terabit-capacity supercomputers with sophisticated scanners and sensors, electronic-transfer bill payments plus recordable identity and location of each consumer is now easily associatable with proposed National Sales Tax Fair taxes on each item and service purchased.....and what a person buys - of course - determines what their actual vocation is and involves!

As it presently exists, income tax codes of both the federal and state revenue departments are needlessly burdensome, confusing, complicated, discriminatory, plus hopelessly and constantly changing.....with a growing number of new nitpicky Forms to fill out.....necessitating each voluntary-participation taxpayer to be an annual bookkeeper or hire an annual bookkeeper. The present voluntary-participation code allows for much noncertainty, diverse semantical interpretation and innovative manipulation, resulting in utilizing escape-clause loopholes which the savvy use to shift tax apportionment for financially-impoverished, intellectually-astute, read-the-fine-print zealots.

For example, to avoid being directed to pay Social Security by those who are 'self-employed' as 'private contractors' (but actually being employed in fact) and thus get Form 1099-MISC annual salary slips, the shrewd in-fact employed (designated as 'Non-Employees' by Form 1099-MISC) can contest and dispute their 'non-employed' status (miscalled Non-Employed) so as to list their salary amount not on Schedule C Forms but rather in the first part of Form 1040 without attaching W-2 Forms so as to fully benefit by the substantial 'Yourself' and even 'Spouse' exemption deductions which reduce their taxable income to zero.

Moreover, for 2005 in the Minnesota M-1 Form (due by April 15th of 2006), Item #3 on Form M-1 discriminatorily and nonconstitutionally forces each taxpayer who is married or has been married as a widow or widower to be - in effect - fined at least $35 for simply being married....whereas those single and living in sin or divorced because of their own insubordinate and wayward deviancy or are feminist-sexist-twit mothers living alone who have defied their abused and thus battered husbands or homosexual perverts single but not married - are exempt from that marriage penalty. An artificial income amount is assessed those married or have-been-faithfully-married people but which, in fact, has absolutely nothing to do with taxable wages nor taxable income....but is instead merely a punishment against being married or having been faithfully married as a widow or widower.

Along those lines, the 'marriage is defined as union between ONE man and ONE woman' proposal was recently defeated in Minnesota during 2006. Such was lauded by the demonic Star Tribune as a victory for same-sex-union homogays, but in fact it was a victory for multiple-wife polygamists reflective of the patriarchal [non-adulterous non-harlotrous] multiple-wife/multiply-concubine polygamy throughout the Old Testament (which God never specifically condemned) and even alluded to by Saint Paul in his New-Testament-epistle prohibition against polygamy for only bishops and deacons. The 'one man with one woman' amendment was redundant, in that heterosexual marriages of that type were already legal, and the positive-only-and-not-negative defeated proposal said nothing against nor prohibited homosodomy connections.

If the amendment had been worded to state that

Marriage shall consist of union of a man and woman
(and note the omission of the words one or a in front of the word woman !)
but NOT consist of same-gender unions nor sodomy with inanimate objects.

THAT amendment might have passed with approval of sensible Biblically-knowledgeable Christian in the right.

Why the present IRS, within their annual booklets of changing nitpicky conditions and confusion, ever got into the habit of purveying semi-pornographic pictures of mopheaded missing children, is beyond me. What has that to do with taxable wages and income?

The concept of socialistically and communistically taxing income at all is counterproductive to the overall national and local economy, even cooperative national security.....suppressing potential innovation and productivity of financially-burdened and fearful-of-audit citizens. It was practiced under Pharoah and Joseph in Egypt against slaves who built pyramids under duress, but is not characteristic of a free and individually-creative society.
