There is a charade playing out in Washington at the moment in respect of the completely meaningless "debt ceiling" which the US maintains as a relic from the days of the gold standard.

We are told that at the US Treasury's account at the Federal Reserve Bank there will soon be no more taxpayers' dollars, and therefore the Fed will soon be unable to make any more payments or issue any more cheques on behalf of the Treasury. The money has run out.

This is nonsense. It is a myth, and moreover it is a myth that Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke exploded in his recent testimony to a US congressional committee.

The federal reserve is unconstitutional. Close it down, put the perps on trial and execute them for fleecing us. I'm saying they should be executed for treason.

Dammit where is Andrew Jackson when we need him.

Perhaps you are getting the Articles of Confederation confused with the US Constitution?

The Federal Reserve is Unconstitutional.

As is the 16th Amendment authorizing Income Tax.

W/o which the FedRes is toothless.

The income tax didn't need the 16th amendment to be Constitutional, and the Fed doesn't need the income tax.

Tax on income derived from labor was clearly an indirect tax (within the meaning of the Constitution) and never an issue. The 16th amendment settled the Constitutionality of a federal tax on income derived from property.

By Fed are you referring the the federal government of the Federal Reserve?

I'm not sure what dicta or law you may be referring to but it was held as early as Pollock that a federal tax that was made directly on an individual's money "made", which included the wages of both labor and speculation, and that was levied solely as a % rather than as a head count apportionment was held as a direct tax.

In other words, the only way that the Central government could levy a tax on income would be to determine how much is needed, divide it by the population, and then levy that same dollar amount on EvERYONE. This made it virtually inpossible to institute an income tax system - which was their intent.

And thank you.

Is it coincidence that the personal income tax and the federal reserve bank was created in the same year -1913 Tthe Sixteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution was ratified (illegally) on February 3, 1913.

The Federal Reserve System, created in 1913, is a private banking system of the United States.

From Wikipedia:

Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, 157 U.S. 429 (1895), aff'd on reh'g, 158 U.S. 601 (1895), with a ruling of 5–4, was a landmark case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the unapportioned income taxes on interest, dividends and rents imposed by the Income Tax Act of 1894 were, in effect, direct taxes, and were unconstitutional because they violated the provision that direct taxes be apportioned.
