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 his duties and obligations concerning tax matters.
