The term Unalienable Rights,
taken from the Declaration of Independence, is a term denoting rights
not granted by government but derived from the Creator. The term
literally means "a right that cannot be transferred or surrendered;
esp., a natural right such as the right to own property." (Blacks
law Dict. 7th edition) And what does Blacks say about natural rights
"A right that is conceived as part of natural law and that is therefore
thought to exist independently of rights created by government or
society, such as the right to life, liberty, and property."
If we have these rights before the creation of the government and they
are not derived from government, then the government has no
constitutional legal authority to regulate or deny those rights and to
do so is a usurpation of power from the people.
The
Constitution has very little to do with the American citizen. It was
written to establish a Federal Government and to place the boundaries by
which that government would operate. The constitution was never designed
to provide or enumerate the rights of the citizens but to restrain the
federal government from meddling in state and ultimately citizen affairs.
The
Supreme Court has stated that "the power to tax a thing is the power
to destroy that thing." They have also stated that rights cannot be
taxed because the power to tax is the power to destroy. You have the
right to property ownership, does that get taxed? You have the right to
defend yourself, and to own the tools to do so, does that get taxed? You
have the right to give of your treasures to whomever you wish, does that
get taxed? You have the right to contract, does that get taxed? You have
the right to land ownership, does that get taxed? The power to tax is
the power to destroy and each and every right we have has a tax attached
and that right has been destroyed to the degree of that taxation.
This book shows the depth to which we have lost our unalienable rights
and shows how we no longer have the land of the free, we are the land of
the enslaved.
