Dear
Washington DC;
Wow,
so the “House of Nancy” has taken up the issue of allowing DC to move from “Territory”
status to that of a bonafide State of the Union with its very own “My Country ‘Tis
of Thee in Liberty” flag! Yet that wishful thinking reality is DOA the
Confederacy Senate, now what? So for real, the DC motto on those license plates
of hot-rods doing donut-spin brodies in front of the “White House” reads “Taxation
Without Representation”? And I just heard the Honorable Muriel Bowser - Mayor
of DC - talk of how the residents “without representation” pay taxes on earned
income on a per-capita basis higher then Mitch McConnell’s Kentucky poo-dog state,
but without the bellhops and whistle stops? Talking Uncle $Bucks$ fascination
of taking away your loot verses the regurgitation formula wherein “bang for the
buck” is lukewarm for those in DC. Sad, when we have a system of “theft” that
cannot return to its rightful owners at least what was taken away from that blood-sweat-tears
labor income. But let’s face the facts, not a single damn member of Congress
understands what “hard earned” means as once in office, that earning statement
morphs to “hard on” and we get worn out picking sides as our politicians pick
their noses. They find it so easy to give it away for their own well-being for
re-instating their desire to get re-elected - for a job wherein getting the
hands dirty - only from the dirty money hoodwinking. Even sadder, when “precedence
set” provides a remedy for “No Representation” and since “precedence set” finds
meaning in the Highest Courts of the land - why have not the residents of
Washington DC not used what is at their disposal and instead have become “have
nots”, right there in front of them this age-tested weapon to combat this “theft”
by Uncle Sam’s “Internal Racketeer Service”! What I am talking about is the
1956 “unanimous verdict victory” for a guy named Jack Marler. See, Jack was the
head “Racketeer” cop in Alaska, when that state was still in the “Territory”
status and his job was to arrest individuals delinquent in filing taxes on
income. So when Jack went on the “warpath” in realization that the Congress was
dragging its feet in allowing Alaska to become the 49er - with its own flag
also - well Jack tested the system of merits in taxation when “without
representation” and was taken to court for failing to file his returns - and
this arrest after being fired from the IRS. But when a feisty Theodore Fulton
Stevens - acting for the Federal Government and tasked to take old Jack down
for the count as this was bad business for Uncle Sam its obligation to a “territory”
- a jury found in favor of Jack’s defense of “No Taxation without
Representation” and then Ted decided it best get an easy job so ran for the
U.S. Senate. So Jack Marler was a free-man for failing to abide by the
obligations of timely filing and paying his taxes on income - because the
verdict rested its case on that “No Representation” forfeiting any such IRS
authority. This “No Taxation without Representation” was a victory, a unanimous
jury-of-peers decision “For the People, By the People” by “True Alaskan” tired
of being duped by Uncle Sam. And that torched forward the so far slowness of
the “Statehood Act” for Alaska and it was soon-after “We’re In” for the 49er
was head-line news sea to shining sea. Many say it was Jack’s victory that forced
the Congress to act, else a mutiny on the bounty in taxation was about to take
over Alaska. So if Mitch McConnell and his cohorts in Confederacy balk on
following the lead of the House in incorporating DC as the “Douglass
Commonwealth 51st State of the Union”, I recommend the citizen Kane workers
take the Jack Marler stance and should just start chanting “No Taxation without
Representation Matters” and tell their employers to STOP garnishing that
paycheck for money in “Taxation”. And when it comes time to file that yearly
1030-Form, just do a write in of “IOU NOT, No Taxation without Representation”.
Now when that arrest warrant arrives with a high-crimes and misdemeanor fine,
just claim the Jack Marler verdict as no idiot with an IRS badge will argue
against the Jack Marler case, as he was at one time one of them! If the
residents of Washington DC stick together on this, what else could Mitch do
except honor the wishes of “Statehood”. This is wherein the citizens can ban
together to get what it deserves! JACK MARLER TIME!
