NO MORE INCOME TAXES
LOS ANGELES (Nov. 25, 2023) According to It's Just Us Coalition, you won’t have to pay any more income taxes. The 28th Amendment, nicknamed the “Fix It” bill, will eliminate income taxes, implement term limits for Congress, have a Voters Holiday, and zero-based budgeting, among other things. It’s Just Us Coalition (or It’s Just Us) said they formulated the “Fix It” bill to be presented at the Constitutional Convention of the States within the next 34 months or less according to Executive Director Brenda Carol Green.
“If you have ever said that you pay too much in taxes, please join us. Depending on the cooperation of the state legislatures and their moral consciousness to doing the right thing, we will have our Constitutional Convention in October 2025. However, if we have a fight on our hands, then we will still get it done by August 2026,” said Green, who was honored by the County of Los Angeles in 2007 with the “Award of Merit” for “Women of Achievement” in recognition of outstanding accomplishments and dedicated service to her community.
A partial list of the taxes that the organization has targeted to eliminate are income taxes, property taxes, payroll taxes, capital gains taxes, among many other taxes.
“We pay taxes on everything. If you win the lottery, you have to pay taxes on your winnings, even though, you and everyone else who bought a lotto ticket has already paid taxes on the money that you spent to pay for the lotto ticket that funds the lotto jackpot. A mess, right?” an exasperated Green expressed.
It’s Just Us states that they want to bring the U.S. Constitution into the 21st century and to get rid of a tax law that they say was passed based on a lie.
“What many people don’t know is that the income tax is fairly new. It was implemented in 1913 under the false premise that it was only going to tax the rich but that was a lie because you are not rich and you are paying income taxes. That’s why we need to get the “Fix It” bill passed, to reverse all the lies and to have our Constitution undertake the issues of today,” expounded Green.
Before the federal income tax was put into effect, the U.S. government raised money by using excise taxes, and tariffs[i], and Green adds that money can also come from various customs duties.
“Right now, according to the non-profit, non-partisan Tax Foundation Organization, in 2023, 97.7% of all federal income taxes were paid by only half of all Americans.[ii] Does that seem fair? The “Fix It” bill allows for a 3% national sales tax that can never be raised and will be shared by everyone. Some may argue that the sales tax would be regressive but it is not regressive because low-income people don’t purchase the same items as rich people so the tax will be fair. The government will say that 3% will not generate enough money for them to spend. They always say we don’t have enough money for anything then they miraculously find it whenever they need it for something they want to do. America has a household net worth of $150 trillion[iii](rounded), a 3% national sales tax along with the excise taxes, tariffs, and customs duties, will be ample,” Green summarized.
It's Just Us is a non-partisan, not-for-profit, grassroots organization whose goal is to update the U.S. Constitution to deal with the realities of today. They can be contacted through their website www.ItsJustUsCoalition.orgor they can be reached by e-mail at JustUs@ItsJustUsCoalition.org.
