STATE SOVEREIGNTY AND FEDERAL TAX FUND ACT
FREEING THE STATES - AND THE PEOPLE - FROM BONDAGE OF THE
FEDS
So that States
will retain tax dollars (mostly unconstitutional anyway, but we have to start
somewhere), rather than turn them over to the Federal Government -- which are
then sent back to the States labeled "federal funds" and which funds
always come with requirements of 'compliance' to some federal scheme -- the
State Sovereignty & Federal Tax Fund Act was first introduced in the
Colorado State legislature in 1994 by Senator Charles Duke.
To his credit,
Senator Duke was a truly great and rare elected official then and in today's
political climate. Charlie was a
Statesman, not a politician. POLITICS.
The word is self defining: poli-tics (poli = many; tics = parasites that
suck the life blood from their hosts) The legislative leaders in Colorado were
apparently on the payroll of a source beyond the mere legislative salary from
the people.
Another Statesman,
Representative Charles Key of Oklahoma grasped the significance of the idea,
and introduced the bill (HB1874) in his
home State in early 1995. It
miraculously passed the House Committee unanimously, and then passed the whole
House unanimously. It was sent over to
the Senate for consideration. A few weeks later the Murrah Federal Building was
bombed and the bill died in the Senate.
In 1997 it was
introduced in California as SB1178 in the exact form as transcribed below, by
Senator Richard Mountjoy of California. Once again, state political leaders
stalled and then killed the proposed legislation.
Maybe... when
enough citizens inform and educate enough state elected officials, maybe an Act
like this could be passed in every state.
As soon as one State does it, the results would resemble the ripple
becoming a tidal wave.
In all these
failed efforts the only reason for failure was a lack of constitutent/citizen
support. --
