Product Description
(From the back cover) For the 64 years of its existence, the U. S. Internal Revenue Code has been ridiculed, feared and despised by virtually everyone. And why not? As presented by the Internal Revenue Service, the code appears illogical, inconsistent and incomprehensible. As presented, the code defies practically the entire Bill of Rights: requiring citizens to testify against themselves, allowing searches and seizures without warrants, levying fines and penalties without trials and imposing a tax on the basic right to earn a living. As presented, the IRC would appear to turn everything we all thought we had learned in grade school English and Civics on its head. Is it possible that we all just misunderstood those simple lessons? Maybe. But researcher, analyst and scholar Peter E. Hendrickson believes that after Cracking the Code, youll agree that what has been misunderstood is the 3,413,780 word monstrosity itself-and how, and to whom, it applies.
Hendrickson delves deep into the history, statutes and case law behind the Code to reveal its startling and liberating secrets; and unless you live in a cave, you need to know what he has uncovered. Once you've finished Cracking the Code, the tax laws will never mean the same thing to you, or your bank account, again!

 Why does the IRS need to suppress this book?, 2008-06-03
Why can't I find Cracking the Code in my local library (Lynden, WA) any longer? (The book was available there not too long ago.) Why is it also no longer in any of the several major library systems (Seattle, King County, etc.) that I have checked with either? Why is it listed as "out of print" at Barnes and Noble despite enjoying eight printings since it's first one in July of 2003 and why is it no longer being offered as a new book by Amazon?
The few used copies that are available are offered at multiples of the $19.95 that I paid for my book when I purchased it from Amazon not long ago.
Could it be that the IRS is so desperate to suppress the truths that author Peter Hendrickson exposes in his book that they use their clout to frighten library systems and retailers into ceasing to handle the book? Unbelievable in America?
Could it be that Hendrickson has done that which many others have failed at--figured out how the IRS code allows the IRS to violate the Constitutional rights of millions of Americans and get away with it in the courts? Trillions of dollars that now flow into the treasury will dry up if the knowledge in the book continued to be available to the public.
Yes, the huge, dirty secret of how the IRS annually cheats Americans out of a river of taxes that they do not owe has finally been revealed and the IRS MUST stop the book from being circulated or the whole rotten scheme will fall apart.
I treasure my copy of Cracking the Code and would not sell it at any price. Not only am I finally free from the annual theft of a significant part of my earnings, but far more importantly I will be free from the abhorrent violation of my constitutional rights that I have knowingly suffered for decades.
Get this book if you can still find it. The education it will impart about how our government cheats the American people will be worth the cost alone.

 DOJ is all over Hendrickson, 2008-04-25
Do a Google search of this author and you will find that he and his followers have lost every case the IRS and Department of Justice have taken against them. Don't waste your money.

Incredible book with life-changing, liberty restoring info., 2008-03-22
I am reading the book for the third time, some sections more. I have also spent quite a bit of time reading the current IRC, the IRC of 1939, The Public Salary Tax Act of 1939, and parts of the Current Tax Payment Act of 1943. These are written law, not IRS 'publications' which purport to be what the law says. The information is quite enlightening. As you read the older statutes (which the IRC code language points to), it is clearly obvious what types of 'income' the taxes apply to. The 16th Amendment isn't our problem (it only makes gains, profits, and 'income' DERIVED FROM the exercise of federal privilege 'non-apportionable'), it is the WITHHOLDING - specifically, withholding indiscriminately, even from those not paid federal 'wages' who are not federal 'employees', not working for federal 'employers' nor from those involved in a 'trade or business' as defined by law.
Here is some text regarding the drafting for the 1943 Current Tax Payment Act:
'A clerical amendment in the House bill eliminated the provisions in 466(a) which restricts the withholding to wages includable in gross income. The same change is made to the present bill. This limitation which was designed to exclude from withholding the amount of any wage payment exempted under the law from the tax imposed by chapter 1 of the code, is rendered unnecessary by the changes made in the definition of "wages".
(Now, from the Victory Tax Act of 1942, section 466(a):
466(a) Requirements of Withholding - There shall be withheld, collected and paid upon all wages of every person, to the extent that such wages are includable in gross income, a tax equal to 5 per centum on the excess of each payment of such wages over the withholding deduction allowable under this part. This subsection and subsection (c) shall not be applicable in any case of wages paid to residents of a contiguous country who enter and leave the United States at frequent intervals.
Employee. - For purposes of this chapter, the term "employee" includes an officer, employee, or elected official of the United States, a State or any political subdivision thereof, of the District of Columbia or any agency or instrumentality of any one or more of the foregoing. The term employee includes an officer of a corporation.
Wages. - The term "wages" means all remuneration (other than fees paid to a public official) for services performed by an employee for his employer, including the cash value of all remuneration paid in any medium other than cash; except such term shall not include remuneration paid ... (followed by minor exceptions).
(definitions for 'employee', 'employer', 'wages' and others for this section are now in IRC section 3401. Definitions for 'trade or business', 'United States' (not what you think), and 'State' (not what you think) are in 7701.)
Hm.- 'withholding' is clearly restricted to 'wages includible in gross income' but the new IRC 'term' for 'wages', HAVING THE SAME MEANING, has replaced that clarification. Common 'wages' (a.k.a. regular pay) AREN'T included.
Mr. Hendrickson's book is an incredible resource and obviously was a TON of work to put together. Core issues about the tax system are often based on TERMS - custom-defined, legal definitions with SPECIFIC meanings. If what was meant was what the IRS often 'infers', these terms and awkward constructions would not be needed. Those who are recipients of federal privilege, dollars, 'wages', 'compensation for services', dividends (from federal obligations and instrumentalities) should obviously be taxed on their exercise of privilege - so as not to abuse government privilege for their own benefit.
Regarding the 'includes' definition in section 7701(c): another poster claimed, "...Twisting the meaning of "includes" to exclude everything but the items in the phrase following "includes" is the basis of his arguement [sic]."
--> This is NOT what Mr. Hendrickson has clarified. 7701(c) definition of 'includes':
(c) Includes and including
The terms "includes" and "including" when used in a definition contained in this title shall not be deemed to exclude other things otherwise within the meaning of the TERM DEFINED. (emphasis added)
Note the TERMS 'includes' and 'including' (this is a definitions section, by the way). Various judicial rulings have clarified (and when you think about it, it makes sense), that these 'terms' do not exclude other things which would normally fit the meaning of the TERM DEFINED - not the 'word' as commonly used (a HUGE difference).
So, when you 'include' various federal officers, employees, elected officials, judges, etc. (federal workers) - you may be leaving out other types of federal workers, so they aren't excluded - but PRIVATE workers are, inherent in the specifically defined definition (or else the custom definition and terms wouldn't be needed). Private workers do not 'otherwise' fit the DEFINED MEANING of the 'term' defined. If they did, the 'employee' definition could just say, 'anyone who is paid for work done for anyone else' and 'wages' could just say 'any pay received from any payer for any reason' (with no 'terms'). This would be a direct tax/capitation tax absent apportionment and be UNCONSTITUTIONAL, of course. The 'terms' are there to keep things essentially 'legal'.
Throughout the book and website, the reader is encouraged to follow the rule of law, as written. If you have taxable 'income', then you owe tax on it. If a payer erroneously lists any lawfully nontaxable pay as taxable 'wages'/'income', you have to refute that through a lawfully filed tax return or the incorrect information stands.
Sorry for the very long post - the ideas just kept flowing. This is an excellent book, and if it encourages you to learn more about the laws of our country, and follow the rule of law as written, that just makes you a better American, in my opinion.

A must read for every American, 2008-03-19
Before you listen to any negative reviews...read the book, because either they haven't or their careers rely on the system to maintain the status quo.
The tax code actually works very favorably for most Americans, but then again most Americans don't read or they simply choose to listen to "the experts" to guide their every decision.
If you're not so sheepish, you'll find this book to be very much worth the time and financial investment.
