SIGNIFICANCE: Declared what “unjust taxation means” and that if you consent or make an election, the taxation is no longer UNJUST.

QUOTE:

“The constitutional right [Form #10.015] against unjust taxation is given for the protection of private property [Form #12.046], but it may be waived by those affected who consent [Form #05.003] to such action to their property as would otherwise be invalid [or even ILLEGAL or CRIMINAL].”

[Wight v. Davidson, 181 U.S. 371 (1901)]

NOTE: A mistake on a tax form through legal ignorance is not CONSENT which creates an actual liability.  The amounts paid are recoverable when paid under protest per 28 U.S.C. §1346 when claimed within the statute of limitations.  See United States v. Williams, 514 U.S. 527 (1995)
