Prediction
Nov 17th, 2008 by Randy Toman
This comes from the “National Justice Foundation” Sacramento, California. It was one of the inserts they had in their packet of information mailed out this month.
“The 16th. (Federal Income Tax) Amendment means that the state must give up legitimate and long established sources of revenue and yield it to the Federal Government.
It means that the state actually invites the Federal Government to invade its territory—and to establish Federal dominion within the innermost citadel of reserved rights— A hand from Washington will be stretched out and placed upon every man’s business—
An Army of Federal inspectors, spies and detectives will descend upon the State. They will compel men of business to show their books and disclose the secrets of their affairs. They will dictate forms of bookkeeping. They will require statements and affidavits—
When the Federal government gets a stranglehold on the individual businessman, state lines will exist nowhere but on the maps. Its agents will everywhere supervise the commercial life of the states.”
Richard E. Byrd, Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates
(Mr. Byrd made this prediction in 1910, prior to the ratification of the 16th Amendment.)
President elect O’bama will be two years into his term (2010) and Mr. Byrd words will be 100 years old, it will be interesting to see just how much truth are in his words and how far we have progress toward “Socialism”.
