Dedications

If Frank Brushaber was a Nonresident Alien, then so am I, and so are millions of other Americans who will know the truth if we teach them.

We have in our political system a Government of the United States** and a government of each of the several States.
Each one of these governments is distinct from the others, and each has citizens of its own .... Slaughter-House Cases
[United States vs Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875)]
It is quite clear, then, that there is a citizenship of the United States** and a citizenship of a State, which are distinct from each other and which depend upon different characteristics or circumstances in the individual.
[Slaughter House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873)]

Notations

The Supreme Court has officially defined the key term 'United States' to have three separate and distinct meanings:

It may be the name of a sovereign occupying the position of other sovereigns in the family of nations.
It may designate the limited territory over which the sovereignty of the federal government extends.
It may be the collective name for the fifty States which are united by and under the Constitution.

Understanding these several meanings is absolutely crucial to understanding the remainder of this book. Much confusion will result from failing to recognize (or decipher) the meaning that is used in any given context. In order to reinforce their importance, these three meanings will be identified by using the following convention whenever possible:

(1) United States* or U.S.* (first meaning)

The name of the sovereign nation, occupying the position of other sovereigns in the family of nations.

(2) United States** or U.S.** (second meaning)

The federal government and the limited territory over which it exercises exclusive sovereign authority.

(3) United States*** or U.S.*** (third meaning)

The collective name for the States united by and under the Constitution for the United States of America.

At the risk of being criticized for violating formal English style, quotations have also been modified with this notation. The risk of misunderstanding was judged to be far more serious than any violations of conventional style. It is the Author's sincere intent that the addition of asterisks will be obvious in all cases, even if the meaning of 'United States' is not obvious in any particular case.

Exceptions to this convention will be made for book titles, for United States Codes (abbreviated USC or U.S.C.), for the United States (or U.S.) Constitution, and for the United States (or U.S.) Supreme Court.

Other notations should be obvious from their context, but will be repeated here for extra clarity:

IR means Internal Revenue (e.g., IR Manual refers to the IRS Internal Revenue Manual)

IRC means Internal Revenue Code (also known as Title 26)

IRS means Internal Revenue Service in the Department of the Treasury

USC means United States Code (e.g., 26 USC 7701 refers to Title 26, United States Codes, Section 7701)

CFR means Code of Federal Regulations (e.g., 26 CFR 1.871-1 are the regulations for Section 871 of Title 26)

T.D. means Treasury Decision, a written decision published in the Federal Register by the Treasury Department.

U.S. means United States decision when used to cite a ruling of the Supreme Court (e.g., 324 U.S. 652 refers to volume 324, page 652 of Supreme Court decisions)
