<001> THE STORY OF THE BUCK ACT <002> by <003> Richard McDonald <004> edited by <005> Mitch Modeleski <006> In order for you to understand the full import of what is <007> happening, I must explain certain laws to you. <008> When passing new statutes, the Federal government always <009> does everything according to the principles of law. In order for <010> the Federal Government to tax a Citizen of one of the several <011> states, they had to create some sort of contractual nexus. This <012> contractual nexus is the "Social Security Number". <013> In 1935, the federal government instituted Social Security. <014> The Social Security Board then created 10 Social Security <015> "Districts". The combination of these "Districts" resulted in a <016> "Federal area" which covered all the several states like a clear <017> plastic overlay. <018> In 1939, the federal government instituted the "Public <019> Salary Tax Act of 1939". This Act is a municipal law of the <020> District of Columbia for taxing all federal and state government <021> employees and those who live and work in any "Federal area". <022> Now, the government knows it cannot tax those state Citizens <023> who live and work outside the territorial jurisdiction of Article <024> 1, Section 8, Clause 17 (1:8:17) or Article 4, Section 3, Clause <025> 2 (4:3:2) in the U.S. Constitution. So, in 1940, Congress passed <026> the "Buck Act", 4 U.S.C.S. Sections 105-113. In Section 110(e), <027> this Act authorized any department of the federal government to <028> create a "Federal area" for imposition of the "Public Salary Tax <029> Act of 1939". This tax is imposed at 4 U.S.C.S. Sec. 111. The <030> rest of the taxing law is found in the Internal Revenue Code. <031> The Social Security Board had already created a "Federal area" <032> overlay. <033> 4 U.S.C.S. Sec. 110(d). The term "State" includes any <034> Territory or possession of the United States. <035> 4 U.S.C.S. Sec. 110(e). The term "Federal area" means any <036> lands or premises held or acquired by or for the use of the <037> United States or any department, establishment, or agency of <038> the United States; and any Federal area, or any part <039> thereof, which is located within the exterior boundaries of <040> any State, shall be deemed to be a Federal area located <041> within such State. <042> There is no reasonable doubt that the federal "State" is <043> imposing an excise tax under the provisions of 4 U.S.C.S. Section <044> 105, which states in pertinent part: <045> Sec. 105. State, and so forth, taxation affecting Federal <046> areas; sales or use tax <047> (a) No person shall be relieved from liability for payment <048> of, collection of, or accounting for any sales or use tax <049> levied by any State, or by any duly constituted taxing <050> authority therein, having jurisdiction to levy such tax, on <051> the ground that the sale or use, with respect to which such <052> tax is levied, occurred in whole or in part within a Federal <053> area; and such State or taxing authority shall have full <054> jurisdiction and power to levy and collect any such tax in <055> any Federal area within such State to the same extent and <056> with the same effect as though such area was not a Federal <057> area. <058> Irrespective of what the tax is called, if its purpose is to <059> produce revenue, it is an income tax or a receipts tax under <060> the Buck Act [4 U.S.C.A. Secs. 105-110]. <061> Humble Oil & Refining Co. v. Calvert, 464 SW 2d. 170 (1971), <062> affd (Tex) 478 SW 2d. 926, cert. den. 409 U.S. 967, 34 L.Ed. <063> 2d. 234, 93 S.Ct. 293. <064> Thus, the obvious question arises: What is a "Federal area"? <065> A "Federal area" is any area designated by any agency, <066> department, or establishment of the federal government. This <067> includes the Social Security areas designated by the Social <068> Security Administration, any public housing area that has federal <069> funding, a home that has a federal bank loan, a road that has <070> federal funding, and almost everything that the federal <071> government touches through any type of aid. Springfield v. <072> Kenny, 104 N.E. 2d 65 (1951 App.). This "Federal area" attaches <073> to anyone who has a Social Security Number or any personal <074> contact with the federal or state governments. Through this <075> mechanism, the federal government usurped the Sovereignty of the <076> People, as well as the Sovereignty of the several states, by <077> creating "Federal areas" within the boundaries of the states <078> under the authority of Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 (4:3:2) in <079> the federal Constitution, which states: <080> 2. The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make <081> all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory <082> or other Property belonging to the United States, and <083> nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to <084> prejudice any claims of the United States, or of any <085> particular State. <086> Therefore, all U.S. citizens [i.e. citizens of the District <087> of Columbia] residing in one of the states of the Union, are <088> classified as property, as franchisees of the federal government, <089> and as an "individual entity". See Wheeling Steel Corp. v. Fox, <090> 298 U.S. 193, 80 L.Ed. 1143, 56 S.Ct. 773. Under the "Buck Act", <091> 4 U.S.C.S. Secs. 105-113, the federal government has created a <092> "Federal area" within the boundaries of all the several states. <093> This area is similar to any territory that the federal government <094> acquires through purchase, conquest or treaty, thereby imposing <095> federal territorial law upon all people in this "Federal area". <096> Federal territorial law is evidenced by the Executive Branch's <097> yellow-fringed U.S. flag flying in schools, offices and all <098> courtrooms. <099> You must live on land in one of the states in the Union of <100> several states, not in any "Federal State" or "Federal area", nor <101> can you be involved in any activity that would make you subject <102> to "federal laws". You cannot have a valid Social Security <103> Number, a "resident" driver's license, a motor vehicle registered <104> in your name, a "federal" bank account, a Federal Register <105> Account Number relating to Individual persons [SSN], (see <106> Executive Order Number 9397, November 1943), or any other known <107> "contract implied in fact" that would place you within any <108> "Federal area" and thus within the territorial jurisdiction of <109> the municipal laws of Congress. Remember, all acts of Congress <110> are territorial in nature and only apply within the territorial <111> jurisdiction of Congress. (See American Banana Co. v. United <112> Fruit Co., 213 U.S. 347, 356-357 (1909); U.S. v. Spelar, 338 <113> U.S. 217, 222, 94 L.Ed. 3, 70 S.Ct. 10 (1949); New York Central <114> R.R. Co. v. Chisholm, 268 U.S. 29, 31-32, 69 L.Ed. 828, 45 S.Ct. <115> 402 (1925).) <116> There has been created a fictional Federal "State within a <117> state". See Howard v. Sinking Fund of Louisville, 344 U.S. 624, <118> 73 S.Ct. 465, 476, 97 L.Ed. 617 (1953); Schwartz v. O'Hara TP. <119> School Dist., 100 A. 2d. 621, 625, 375 Pa. 440. (Compare also 31 <120> C.F.R. Parts 51.2 and 52.2, which also identify a fictional State <121> within a state.) This fictional "State" is identified by the use <122> of two-letter abbreviations like "CA", "AZ" and "TX", as <123> distinguished from the authorized abbreviations like "Calif.", <124> "Ariz." and "Tex.", etc. This fictional State also uses ZIP <125> codes which are within the municipal, exclusive legislative <126> jurisdiction of Congress. <127> This entire scheme was accomplished by passage of the "Buck <128> Act", 4 U.S.C.S. Secs. 105-113, to implement the application of <129> the "Public Salary Tax Act of 1939" to workers within the private <130> sector. This subjects all private sector workers who have a <131> Social Security number to all state and federal laws "within this <132> State", a "fictional Federal area" overlaying the land in <133> California and in all other states in the Union. In California, <134> this is established by California Form 590, Revenue and Taxation. <135> All you have to do is to state that you live in California. This <136> establishes that you do not live in a "Federal area" and that you <137> are exempt from the Public Salary Tax Act of 1939 and also from <138> the California Income Tax for residents who live "in this State". <139> The following definition is used throughout the several <140> states in the application of their municipal laws which require <141> some sort of contract for proper application. This definition is <142> also included in all the codes of California, Nevada, Arizona, <143> Utah and New York: <144> "In this State" or "in the State" means within the exterior <145> limits of the State ... and includes all territories within <146> such limits owned or ceded to the United States of America. <147> This definition concurs with the "Buck Act" supra which states: <148> 110(d) The term "State" includes any Territory or possession <149> of the United States. <150> 110(e) The term "Federal area" means any lands or premises <151> held or acquired by or for the use of the United States or <152> any department, establishment, or agency of the United <153> States; and any Federal area, or any part thereof, which is <154> located within the exterior boundaries of any State, shall <155> be deemed to be a Federal area located within such State. <156> So, do some research. I have given you all the proper <157> directions in which to look for the jurisdictional nexus that <158> places you within the purview of the federal government.
