Stamping Out "IRS": The Silent Killer

-- by Gordon Phillips, Founder and CIO: INFORM AMERICA!

Now, An Epidemic

Since 1913, a silent disease has slowly crept across America, hopping quietly from household to workplace to schoolroom, mutating constantly and growing ever stronger and more virulent with each passing decade. 

This encroaching affliction is now more infectious than AIDS and more tenacious than genital herpes, and has caused more hundreds of billions of dollars in lost man hours than those two diseases plus the common cold, influenza, polio, whooping cough, the German measles, the chicken pox and Gulf War Syndrome all combined. 

Currently, over 100,000,000 Americans are known to be full-blown carriers of the persistent contagion -- more than the entire number who suffered from Europe's Great Plague of many centuries past -- with millions of additional victims (mostly the young) becoming infected with each passing year.

Identification And Symptoms

Symptoms include sweating palms, pounding headaches, panic disorder and, in severe cases, heart palpitations. Extreme cases have resulted in nervous dementia leading to total mental breakdown and, occasionally, suicide. Manifestations appear to be largely seasonal, with symptoms waning in early summer, waxing in early winter and becoming full-blown in early spring. It's name? 

Imaginary Requirements Syndrome, or "IRS". 

Technically, "IRS" is a syndrome and not a true disease since it consists not of a single affliction, but of a host of co-synchronous, underlying maladies -- all psychosomatic -- including (but not limited to) the following overlapping beliefs (as distinguished from known facts in that the holder relies upon certain mental images and constructs, and not upon actual, personally confirmed knowledge):

* That the filing of tax returns to report domestic sources of income is required by law of citizens living and working with the 50 States of the Union; 

* That the law makes said citizens liable for an income tax on said domestic sources;

* That the application for, and use of, a taxpayer identification number (SSN or EIN) is required by law of citizens, and not just of nonresident aliens and foreign corporations;

* That an audit of books and records can be enforced upon the citizen who is not engaged in regulated occupations such as the manufacture, sale and distribution of alcohol, tobacco and firearms, and; 

* Many more persistently entrenched imaginary requirements. 

Transmission Modalities

Precise transmission modalities are difficult to pinpoint, however the affliction is known to be purely cognitive in nature (largely a mind set) and passed from adults (parents, teachers, pastors, lawyers, tax preparers, C.P.A.'s, etc.) to youngsters -- and not just to their own children.

Disease vectors include:

1) Oral tradition: the spoken word transmitted in direct conversation;
2) Electronic broadcast: one-way communication primarily via television and radio;
3) The printed word: in textbooks, government pamphlets, publications of certain "organized religions", and other like literary vehicles.

Although verification through autopsy of the brain of any known victim of "IRS" has yet to be performed, the primary locus of the disease appears to be in the frontal cortex where "long term" memory of illusions, erroneous mind sets and other false mental constructs are known to be stored alongside known facts, verifiable truths and personally confirmed experience.

Prophylactic Treatment vs. The Cure

Various short-term symptom relief centers have been established around the country to assist "IRS" sufferers, all easily located by street signage identifying them as "tax preparation offices", "financial planners" and "law firms".

While certain "over-the-counter" remedies including aspirin and adult beverages are known to have assisted some sufferers, the only known absolute cure has been shown to be the organized visual, oral and auditory consumption of specialized, correctional (i.e., educational) material.

Reversing "IRS" Forever

With the steady, consistent application of increasing daily doses of verified knowledge, all symptoms of "IRS" gradually abate, eventually to vanish forever.

In fact, remission rates of 100% can accurately be predicted among former victims who adopt a steady course of faithful and persistent educational self-treatment consisting solely of a healthy diet of factually accurate information, with subsequent reinfection proven impossible once sufficient mental antibodies to all imaginary requirements have been produced.

Stamping Out The Disease

To date, no major entertainer has been willing to come forward to host a national "telethon" or other major fund raising mechanism, nor has any First Lady been willing to get behind a full-fledged national campaign to teach Americans to "Just Say No To 'IRS'!".

This vacuum of celebrity support leaves research into the causes of "IRS" to be funded by the voluntary educational donations of recovered victims and others whose family members were immune due to previous inoculation with proper education. Many among the current generation of home-schooled youngsters are now known to be permanently immune, much to the government's extreme discomfiture.

Won't You Help?

Why not make a donation and save a mind today? Read a little each day (and read to your children) from the United States Constitution, Madison's Notes, Elliot's Debates, the Internal Revenue Code and the taxing regulations.

Learn to discern "color of law", "legalese", judicial utterances ("case law") and "wild theories" (patriot mythology) from truth and established fact. 

More recently developed and highly potent ignoranticides include:

* The SAVE-A-PATRIOT FELLOWSHIP'S outstanding video lectures, "The Truth Behind The Income Tax" and "Just The Facts";

* INFORM AMERICA!'s 200+ page blockbuster exposé, "Losing Your Illusions"; 

* LEXREX's grade-school favorite, "A Catechism On The Constitution". 

All of these potent and efficacious killers of tax and constitutional ignorance can be purchased on-line at http://www.libertymall.com.

Stirring Testimonials

The strongest testimonials are heard from recovered "IRS" victims, now numbering in the low millions by various estimates. They recommend: 

* "I got better, you can too!" -- S. Peterson
* "Ignore the experts, learn to think for yourself!" -- M. Richardson
* "Sit down with your kids and teach them the truth!". -- C. Rossotti

Good advice! Together, we can overcome "IRS" in our lifetimes and, hopefully, stamp out Imaginary Requirements Syndrome once and for all. 

Remember: "If you want to BE free, you have to LIVE free!".
