5.0 out of 5 stars Income is not the subject of "income taxes", February 3, 1999

By 

[e-mail] (Northville, Michigan state) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best Kept Secret (Paperback)

This book in very clear and precise language, and quotations from U.S. Supreme court cases will reveal how the Internal Revenue Laws have been misapplied to hard working Americans. From the House Congressional Record of March 27, 1943: "The income tax is, therefore, not a tax on income as such. It is an excise tax with respect to certain activities and privileges which is measured by reference to the income which they produce. The income is not the subject of the tax: it is the basis for determining the amount of the tax." Are you involved in a revenue taxable activity in your normal employment? Check it out, this book is a must for all patriotic Americans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truth and the so called income tax, November 16, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best Kept Secret (Paperback)

The author takes the time to explain with clairty the difficult task of understanding the delima of our tax system. Although some knowledge of law is helpful, it is not necessary. The reader is taken through the history of our tax system, by explaination. Using supreme court decsions and laws passed by congress the reader will understand that, there is no law that requires someone to pay the so-called income tax because you work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Otto Skinner's Books Are the Best on the Income Tax, April 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best Kept Secret (Paperback)

I highly recommend that you buy all three of Otto Skinner's books: The Best Kept Secret; If You Are the Defendant; and The Biggest Tax Loophole of All. You can order all three from his website for a cost of about $90. He also has newsletters that are valuable.

Skinner lays out exactly what the "income" tax is all about. Using Supreme Court decisions and other highly authoritative documentation, he reveals the truth: the income tax is an excise tax; an excise tax is a tax on privileged activities; and a person's right to earn income is a right that can't be taxed as a privilege. The only reason that the taxes are called "income" taxes is because they are measured by the amount of income resulting from the activities. The tax is not on the income itself.

I started in the "tax movement" about 11 years ago and wish that I had read Skinner's books first; it would have saved me much trouble. After you read The Best Kept Secret, you'll know that you never need file an income tax return again, or submit a W-4 Form to get a job (unless, of course, you're involved in an activity that is truly taxable; but if you're earning a living at a harmless activity, you won't have any such obligation).
