Be watching for a full page ad in the New York Times tomorrow, Sunday, February 10, 2002. We The People Foundation has purchased one in the main news (first) section of the nationwide edition, titled “IRS and Department of Justice: Why Won’t You Answer Our Questions?“
You may remember the organization leader, Bob Schulz, who fasted last summer to force a congressional hearing on the legality of the US income tax. He and many, many others have long held this tax is unconstitutional and passed into law under very shady circumstances.
Mr Schulz was prepared to fast unto death but was reprieved near the end. The government agreed to a hearing under the requested terms. Then came September 11th… Mr Schulz quite reasonably agreed to a delay, as would any decent and honourable man. According to Schulz, the delay has turned into an unadmitted cancellation:
[January 28, 2002] Congressman Roscoe Bartlett (MD), Assistant Attorney General Dan Bryant, and IRS Commissioner Charles Rossotti have broken their written agreement with the American People and have betrayed the United States Constitution.
While I cannot speak to the correctness of Mr Schulz’s legal arguments, I can comment on the character of the people he is dealing with. They are liars, cheats and scoundrels whose word is of no worth.
To those brought up as I was, a man whose word is no good is not a man at all.
