Constitutional Tax Structure

About the Book

All money falls into one of two categories: income or principal. Do you know the difference? Can you distinguish the gain derived from capital from the capital itself? Do you know how these financial resources are divided between the federal and state governments? Do you know how the Constitution taxes these resources differently and why? Do you know the difference between money that is profit and money that is property? Do you know how to properly distinguish between money earned from investment and money earned from employment? Do you understand that in a capitalist economy, nobody needs an income, but one cannot survive without capital? How does one get capital—where does it come from? After reading the Constitutional Tax Structure, you will know the answers to all these questions and more. Most importantly, you will understand how to distinguish capital from income in personal finance and learn why nobody should be paying an income tax on their capital.
