The Best Kept Secret
by Otto Skinner



Revised and Updated Version
The Book That Started It All

The Best Kept Secret, "Taxpayer" v. Nontaxpayer was originally written in 1986 and updated in 1996, with emphasis on the fact that the right to receive earnings or income is a right that cannot be taxed for revenue purposes.

The Greatest Extortion Racket in the Entire History of the World

The Best Kept Secret disproves many of the popular misconceptions about the so-called "income" tax and the so-called "social security" tax which have been perpetrated on the American people. Utilizing sections from the Internal Revenue Code and the Code of Federal Regulations, The Best Kept Secret provides the clearest and best explainations of the so-called "income" tax and the 16th Amendment available to America today.

This book provides quotations from United State Supreme Court decisions which clearly state that the 16th Amendment to the Constitution (the "income" tax amendment) conferred no new power of taxation on Congress and did not extend the taxing power to new or excepted subjects.

Before you decide to voluntarily assess yourself by filing tax forms, read this book and then determine whether or not you are even subject to or liable for this thing called "income" tax.

The income tax is, therefore, not a tax on income as such. It is an excise tax with respect to certain activities and privileges whis is measured by reference to the income which they produce. The income is not the subject of the tax: it is the basis for determining the amount of tax.
House Congressional Record, 3-27-43, page 2580

Our system of taxation is based on voluntary assessment and payment, not upon distraint.
Flora v. U.S., 362 U.S. 145, 176 (1960)
