Is someone telling you that county government violations of the “national/federal” Constitution (ie: private property extortion) should be handled at the county/state level?
And how does it violate the “national” Constitution? …
There are many "property tax apologists" out there who will try to get you believe that yearly property taxes are completely permissable under the Constitution, and if you have issues with it, you must contact the very in-state people and agencies that are part of the problem. Coincidentally, many of them actually earn money directly or indirectly from government funds.
Simply put, violations of the Federal Constitution are very much in scope at the federal level. Just because the crime occurs in a certain state doesn’t magically confine the issue to that state. We are not talking about violations of said state’s constitution – we are talking about violations of laws that override state laws and its tax codes – the Constitution is the overriding law of the land.
The current county property tax rackets are crimininal and Federal in scope since…
1. It violates the U.S. Constitution 1st, 4th, 5th, 14th, and 16th Amendments.
2. It equates to State and Federal RICO crimes throughout the majority of States.
3. The U.S. Constitution trumps State Law under the Supremacy Clause which exists to prohibit a State from violating the Constitution.
US Constitution, 1st Amendment, summarized: The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
US Constitution, 4th Amendment, summarized: The right of the People to be secure in their houses shall not be violated.
US Constitution, 5th Amendment summarized: Fifth Amendment creates a number of rights relevant to both criminal and civil legal proceedings. In criminal cases, the Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to a grand jury, forbids “double jeopardy,” and protects against self-incrimination. It also requires that “due process of law” be part of any proceeding that denies a citizen “life, liberty or property” and requires the government to compensate citizens when it takes private property for public use.
US Constitution, 14th Amendment, summarized: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
US Constitution, 16 th Amendment:
• 16th Amendment as summarized says that Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
• Taxing property before it is sold, at a value in excess of what was paid at purchase, is essentially a tax on unrealized gains. It is not a tax on income and therefore should not be permitted by law.
• Unrealized gain may be stated on paper, but it is not cash in hand/bank.
• Income (or loss) cannot exist unless currency ($$) or other asset has been received or traded creating an actual realized gain or loss.
Constitutional and Federal violations with the current property tax racket are NOT solved at the state or county level, or by persons representing these local governments. Don’t be duped by individuals telling you that it is a state/local issue when clearly as seen here, it is federal and national, and should be resolved in a newly revamped Constitution-supporting court system (after the many traitors are flushed from those judicial ranks) via impartial and properly-functioning checks and balances. Bottom line: Unconstitutional and illegal property tax schemes need to be addressed at the federal level (initiated up through the court system), and policy discussions should be taking place in an effort to tackle this nationwide criminal practice.
The Courts are the way to proceed forward with unconstitutional property taxes - not the state and county executive branches, or the legislative branch. The way forward is via"Checks And Balances" that our Founding Fathers put into place for just such an overreach of Individual Rights. (And the unconstitutional ruling of a traitorous paid-off judge does not change the fact that property taxes are unconstitutional and illegal. Nor does his repugnant (null and void) ruling establish any form of valid judicial precident for any other future property tax case. It simply means we need more rope and more housecleaning).
