- 4 - The Clearfield Doctrine. Wherein the United States Supreme Court held: “Governments descend to the level of a mere private corporation, and take on the characteristics of a mere private citizen.... Where private corporate commercial paper [Federal Reserve Bank Notes*, from a private Banking Corporation, known as the Fed] and securities [checks] is concerned....for purposes of suit, such corporations are regarded as entities entirely separate from government.” Clearfield, supra. (Emphasis added). *Federal Reserve Bank Notes are ‘obligations of the United States’ (a foreign corporation to the Fifty States of the Union), see 18 U.S.C.A. §8. These Federal Reserve Bank Notes are not money, they merely circulate as a medium of exchange, they are deemed fiat money or flat money, ‘worthless pieces of paper’, as indicated in H.J.R. 192, June 5, 1933, this statement was made by Congressman McFadden from the state of Pennsylvania. In another U.S. Supreme Court case, United States vs. Burr, 309 U.S. 242, the Court held: “When governments enter the world of commerce, they are subject to the same burdens as any private firm or corporation.” k) The Petitioner has at all times acted in good faith in connection with her duties and obligations concerning tax matters. Therefore, the claim for penalties under the Code referenced above is misplaced. l) The Petitioner has relied on her interpretation of the Law, the Tax Codes, and United States Supreme Court Decisions to form the basis of her decision making, therefore, there is no deliberate willfulness on his [sic] part to evade any tax or fail to file any tax alleged due and owing. m) The Petitioner denies any claim that the Commissioner asserts that she owes any tax or penalty for the calendar year ending December 31, 1994, or any year for that matter.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 NextLast modified: November 10, 2007
