It's 1978. The sun is bright in a cloudless sky. a bead of sweat trickles down your forehead, as you watch your kids jump into the pool. And you contemplate, jumping in yourself. Ron's been going on and on about this new group he joined, called Your Heritage Protection Association, founded by some 'Armand Condo', who has patents on several coin drop mechanisms for vending machines. "Armand says that Congress gave up its rights over the money creation, granted to it by the Constitution , and they began to allow the Federal Reserve Notes to circulate. And that's where all the problems began! They aren't coining gold or silver, any more! And, that's why our coins are getting debased! They only put in nickel, copper, and zinc! And that's called a 'clad' token...So, we don't have any real wealth any more, just these junk coins, and paper notes that say 'let it be' on 'em... If I wrote a note, that didn't promise to pay any one any thing, such as gold or silver, or another note redeemable in these, I'd be in the poky, and in a hurry too, BUB!" You decide to change the topic, there's somthing too up setting about all this. "So, how'd you get involved with this group, any how ?" You ask. "Well, I over heard a conversation in the lunch room at Mega Buck's Huge Electronics for Hospitals Inc., you know, where I work. Some of the other Tech.'s were sitting around bitching about their taxes continuing to go up. You know me! I jumped right in there and bitched about mine too. Did you know,I paid out over $17,000 in State and Federal Income Taxes, last year? And, I only made a little over $30,000! I've no kids, no property, and no DEDUCTIONS! |

| And to top it all off, those bastards over at Dependable Banker's Trust and Loans, turned me down for a loan on a new Camero, at $8,500! They said I didn't make enough! Hell! I just gave two of 'em, to the 'god damned government!' It's no wonder!" Well! Taxes! That's a sore point with you too! "I know what you mean, Ron! Even with two kids and a house, I still drop a big chunk on taxes, every year! Deductions! My ass! I had bills for day care, that were twice my deductions! You don't have to tell me about those damned taxes! I KNOW!" Ron looks at you carefully, and thoughtfully, as if he's about to say something, but can't decide. "What!" You blert out, in frustration...Ron finally decides, and quietly says, "These guys say they know how to get out of paying taxes.." You're stunned! "What do you mean, they know how to get out of paying taxes???" You ask, confused! "No body! And, I mean NOBODY, gets out of paying taxes! What ARE you talking about???" Ron looks a little around, a little nervously, and finally looks you in the eye, "We have a VOLUNTARY tax system! YOU DON'T OWE TAXES!" "No, Way!" You say, shaking your head, "No way!" Ron tells you about Irwin Schiff and his books. He recommends that you read the Constitution and when you get to the reading list, read"The Biggest Con" first... |
