To really get to the root of the weakness of the Non Resident Alien/Federal Zone argument is that not only are Non Resident Aliens (which people using this argument claim to be) subject to the withholding of the income Tax under 26 U.S.C. § 1441, are required to be assigned a Social Security Number pursuant to Title 42 § 405(c)(2)(B), and are taxed upon U.S. sources pursuant to 26 CFR § 1.861-8(f)(1)(iv) and -8T(d)(2)(iii)(A), they cannot claim the protections of the U.S. Citizen status under these respective and other related laws which plainly show that U.S. Citizens do not have to be assigned a number and that they are only taxed and withheld from in accordance with § 911, ultimately.

      So, it is rather apparent that statutorily, this argument is a trap, as the IRS and the courts are going to apply the statutes whether you like it or not. Why is that?

      The answer to that question is very simple, as the U.S. Congress has specifically defined "gross income" as something that can be earned by anyone within the realm of its power and authority. Since the Congress has subject matter jurisdiction over "gross income" which almost every employer is reporting (truthfully or not) to the Federal government under penalty of perjury, it is not going to matter what you claim yourself to be when the government has a witness claiming that you made "gross income" subject to the Income Tax Act.

      By slipping the "place where" (physical jurisdiction) gross income is earned into the definition and the laws setting forth the criteria of when a person, resident or not, citizen or not, receives gross income the mere fact of the employer making the legal presumption that the circumstances were all correct to claim that someone made "gross income" becomes the foundational statement supporting the information entered into the IRS computer, and then used by the IRS to support its claims against the person.

      So, now you should be able to see that in personum jurisdiction (authority over the person) is completely determined by the testimony of the employer that "gross income" was paid, which evidences subject matter jurisdiction. Therefore, the government has the right to make a claim against the person and his property, and the nonresident alien U.S. Person is scrambling around in his mind trying to figure out how the Judge is justifying his ignoring the person's argument that he is a Non resident of the U.S. and not subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Government.

      The problem really is easy to see, the person cut off his only method of escape through the protection of the statutes and regulations which would give him an argument with legal and statutory merit, and is left with nothing concrete to argue and win with, other than some case law which he has not bothered to personally Shepardize (discover if it is still standing) nor read to see if the positions of the case were applicable to his case.

      I wonder how people sleep at night knowing that they wrote and sold a book with such off-point information in it, which some poor inexperienced and unstudied soul is going to implement years from now. "
