| Ron Paul knows exactly how to close down the IRS. It is the same way my political group tried to do it in 1968. We wrote up an Amendment to the Constitution and gathered enough signatures to put it on the ballot in the majority of the states. The people of these states voted to keep the IRS. We did it again, this time with more states and the voters rejected it. The legal way to do it is to petition the Congress to stop spending tax dollars on things not mentioned in the U.S. Consitution. The American people will refuse to have their needs removed and will continue to vote for more handouts and keep the IRS secure.
The WTP was nothing but a fraud and gathered money from ignorant seniors who bought into the fraud. I tried to warn a dozen web sites here on this fraud and was heavily criticized for my warnings.
The organization that we founded was for the "Liberty Amendment" and Harry Browne worked with a number of attorneys to get this Amendment passed. They then morphed into the Libertarian Party. However the people involved have never been on the side of law and order and figured they could stir up trouble by not paying their taxes. It is amazing how ignorant so many Americans are to have been taken in by WTP. To this day many writers will reference Bob Shultz as a hero and overlook the fact he is in federal prison. I believe this has destroyed the base of the LP that tends to jump over the Constitution in their noise making actions.
Do not put Ron Paul in this category! He will work on getting the Congress to repeal the 16th Amendment but only if the voters work to back it up. There is not a chance in hell of Americans being that smart. Even on his site, the desire to break the law rather than change it, is apparent. |
