The American tax code is a virtually impenetrable jungle of verbiage that begs the question: why does it have to be so confoundedly complicated? As presented and interpreted by the despised Internal Revenue Service, abetted by the income tax industry of CPA’s, tax attorneys, and tax return preparers, the tax code appears to ignore the basic individual rights of the Bill of Rights, particularly the 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination, and the basic right to make a living without being taxed for doing so. With the ability now to use computer searches to dig deeply into the tax code, researchers like the author, Chartered Financial Consultant Thomas Bottaro, have discovered that the American income tax is actually a benign excise tax that affects only a small percentage of the American population. These are the buried secrets which Bottaro reveals to you in this book, detailing precisely what they are, how they work to keep the tax code fully in line with the Constitution, and, equally important, how they make up to 90% of all Americans legitimately free of the tax!
