Grievance 19 - Extortion

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit government from practicing
extortion. While made illegal for private individuals, extortion became
government policy in 1913 with "taxes on incomes" under the 16th
Amendment..

Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter described the resulting
government threats and intimidation as "enforced extortions".

The Constitution set no limit on how much the politicians in Congress
could extort from the people at-large.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural
Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and
Democratic Ideals, individuals act collectively in setting non-coercive and
non-discriminatory tax policies.
