Years ago on another related truther forum, I warned people this would be coming after they stopped letting child support deliquent people leave the country. I was attacked there by popular people, despite my attempts to explain that the child support was only the beginning and that it would obviously lead to student loan delinquents and then to tax. Well, here it is.

With the current mal-application of federal tax law, this sounds extremely draconian.

However, I'd guess that IF the federal income tax were being applied as it is written, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who would disagree with this.

Bill Would Suspend Passport Rights For Delinquent Taxpayers

April 4, 2012 11:57 AM

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — A bill authored by a Southland lawmaker that could potentially allow the federal government to prevent any Americans who owe back taxes from traveling outside the U.S. is one step closer to becoming law.

Senate Bill 1813 was introduced back in November by Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Los Angeles) to “reauthorize Federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs, and for other purposes” .

After clearing the Senate on a 74 – 22 vote on March 14, SB 1813 is now headed for a vote in the House of Representatives, where it’s expected to encounter stiffer opposition among the GOP majority.

In addition to authorizing appropriations for federal transportation and infrastructure programs, the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act” or “MAP-21″ includes a provision that would allow for the “revocation or denial” of a passport for anyone with “certain unpaid taxes” or “tax delinquencies”.

Section 40304 of the legislation states that any individual who owes more than $50,000 to the Internal Revenue Service may be subject to “action with respect to denial, revocation, or limitation of a passport”.

The bill does allow for exceptions in the event of emergency or humanitarian situations or limited return travel to the U.S., or in cases when any tax debt is currently being repaid in a “timely manner” or when collection efforts have been suspended.

However, there does not appear to be any specific language requiring a taxpayer to be charged with tax evasion or any other crime in order to have their passport revoked or limited — only that a notice of lien or levy has been filed by the IRS.

Boxer vowed last week to push House Republicans to pass the bipartisan transportation bill that would keep the Highway Trust Fund from going bankrupt.

“Thousands of businesses are at stake, and eventually we are talking about nearly three million jobs at stake,” she said in a statement. “There are many people on both sides of the aisle in the Senate who want to get our bill, MAP-21, passed into law, and I am going to do everything I can to keep the pressure on the Republican House to do just that.”

I've been waiting to see this one. Another selective enforcement tool.

Many rich americans have already sold and moved their assets out of the country and are living abroad and are no longer paying any taxes. As long as they don't return or are not inspected at the border by the irs they come and go as they please.

One big debt prison, under God.

And some will be oh so glad to see their neighbor in it.

When it comes to the current mal-application of federal tax laws, people are that way now.  I bring up the subject at every opportunity and I generally get the same responses... whether it be the "fair share" nonsense, or even a snide "hope you don't go to jail" comment.  It really is pathetic how these intellectual cowards condone what is arguably the largest financial crime in the history of history... the mal-application of a governing body's otherwise limited taxing authority to guarantee the interest for endless loans from a private banking cartel that can call in those debts at anytime and own basically everything.

There is a truth that makes this and other such legislation moot with regard to the vast majority of Americans... just as the 16th Amendment is for the same.  The lies and obfuscation make this and other such legislation nothing more than distractionary nonsense and will prove only to continue the lie itself.

If you live and work abroad they can selectively enforce income tax... The fact that you may not have been abroad for years and paid income tax in the other country you reside in does not bother them. So using this clause they can ban patriots from returning to the USA.

SUMMARY OF MOVING AHEAD FOR PROGRESS IN THE 21ST CENTURY (MAP-21)
Bill Highlights
• Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) reauthorizes the Federal-aid highway program at the Congressional Budget Office’s baseline level—equal to current funding levels plus inflation—for two fiscal years.
• MAP-21 consolidates the number of Federal programs by two-thirds, from about 90 programs down to less than 30, to focus resources on key national goals and reduce duplicative programs.

All totalitarian political systems restrict the rights of their people to travel. I look forward to the day when American athletes at the Olympic games or professionals in international conferences defect and beg for asylum in the host country.
