The individual may stand upon his Constitutional Rights as a Citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his own way. His power to contract is unlimited. He owes no duty to the State or to his neighbors to divulge his business, or to open his doors to investigation, so far as it may tend to incriminate him. He owes no such duty to the State, since he receives nothing there from, beyond the protection of his life, liberty, and property.”
– Hale v. Hinkel, 201 US 43, 74-75 [U.S. Supreme Court (1906)]
It is a common belief that forming a corporation, LLC, partnership or other statutory organization in order to conduct business is a smart strategy for protecting assets and privacy, and reducing tax exposure. While these entities offer more protection than the act of operating and filing as an individual taxpayer, they do not provide protection against lawful acts of the State against such business structures. Why? Because:
-
The State is the creator of a corporation;
-
The State is the sole authority and sovereign head over the corporation;
-
The corporation is subject to the laws of the State which limits its powers;
-
The corporation has no constitutionally protected rights, except, perhaps, the 14th Amendment;
-
The corporation is an artificial person;
-
The corporation submits to a State Charter declaring it is a creature of the State;
-
The corporation is created for the benefit of the public;
-
The corporation is a franchise of the State;
-
The corporation is a privilege granted by the State.
If you have been operating a business for decades via a corporation, LLC, or other government-owned entities, most or all of the facts put forth above are probably scorching your eyes for the first time, and you are beginning to realize how government bureaucrats come to believe that they can order owners of these entities to do any immoral, unconstitutional act which they desire. You are probably also under the belief that you are required by law to pay income, Social Security, and employment taxes when, in fact, most people are not required by law to participate.
Continuing with Hale v. Hinkel:
There is a clear distinction in this particular between an individual and a corporation and that the latter has no right to refuse to submit its books and papers for examination at the suit of the State. While an individual may lawfully refuse to answer incriminating questions unless protected by an immunity statute, it does not follow that a corporation vested with certain privileges and franchises may refuse to show its hand when charged with an abuse of such privileges.”
Unfortunately, most common men, women and business owners discover these facts only after they’ve suffered great losses and paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.
Legal Strategies
Those who look “outside the box” for solutions usually discover that the extremely rich have been conducting their affairs through powerful, commonly-unknown legal structures for centuries. As a result of plandemic tyranny, these structures are being adopted at an accelerating pace. Perhaps you’ve heard of some of them:
Private Membership Association
Private Market Association
Private Benefit Association
Private Educational Association
Private Healthcare Association
Cestui Que Trust
COLATO Trust
Though, for marketing purposes, recent purveyors have been referring to them by the names above, as well as many others, these structures have traditionally been known to elites under the generic names of Private Unincorporated Associations and Common Law Trusts. Passage To Liberty learned about these structures over 25 years ago, and has successfully created and used them to protect assets and privacy ever since. Whether you need one of these, or something else- such as a Private Foundation or Business Trust- we can help you determine the appropriate entity or entities, and create a strategic transition and operation plan designed specifically for your situation.
