Social Justice, if you consider the fact that the leadership and controlling interests of all governments are corrupt, is an oxymoron.

Amendment 1
The Right to Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances.

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote: "In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

Amendment 1

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

In 2002, a group of people organized by Robert Schultz of New York calling themselves We The People Foundation and Congress created a formal highly researched Petition for Redress of Grievances. It consisted of 62 questions relating to the Federal Individual Income Tax. It was delivered to the Commissioner of the IRS, the Secretary of the Treasury, the then President of the United States George W. Bush and all 535 members of the House and Senate.     

Since our Consitution, the courts have ruled on the constitutionality of the various tax laws. Even the Revenue Act of 1913 had its moments in court. "People supported the income tax because it was originally meant to impose only very low tax rates on only the highest incomes," wrote Raymond J. Keating in a 1996 article for The Freeman. "Proponents argued that the 16th amendment to the U.S. Constitution would force the so-called 'robber barons' to pay taxes. It was not supposed to provide a mechanism for Washington to reach into most Americans' pockets."

The Revenue Act of 1913 was challenged but it was found to be constitutional after the 16th Amendment was "allegedly" passed. We will entertain the controversial 16th Amendment in another post. 

If you read various histories of the Federal Income tax you will find them to be very controversial. As history played out, more and more the courts ended up rubber stamping what the ruling class in America wanted; the absolute power to tax everyone and everything. 

This was the reason behind creating the Petition.
