Freedom Books • 60 Connolly Parkway • Hamden, CT 06514 $12.95 Irwin Schiff, author of the nationwide bestseller How Anyone Can Stop Paying Income Taxes, has done it again! His explosive expose'of Social Security—the biggest chain letter of them all — reveals in vivid detail all the underhanded practices employed by the Federal Government to foist this swindle on the American public. No less shocking is the outrageous ploy used by the Supreme Court to get this admittedly unconstitutional law on the books. His incredible insight into the workings of the Supreme Court is, alone, worth the price of the book. THE SOCIAL SECURITY SWINDLE — HOW ANYONE CAN DROP OUT, is written in Schiffs now famous clear and breezy style and is not based solely on the author's opinion, but it is amply documented by over 50 excerpts from the law itself, numerous official exhibits and a thorough analysis of relevant court cases. What emerges is a powerful indictment of the Supreme Court and irrefutable proof that Social Security is a legal, economic, social and moral fraud. Not satisfied with merely presenting the facts, Schiff also provides readers with all the necessary documents and step-by-step procedures so that all (employees, employers and self-employeds) can drop out of the Social Security scam. Though an analysis of law, court cases and government documents would normally provide dull and uninteresting reading, Schiff s presentation leaves the reader reeling as he moves from one shocking revelation to another. It is hard to believe that 96 million Americans have pinned their financial future to a false hope, but the evidence is all here and cannot be refuted. For those unwilling to be led like sheep to the financial slaughter, Schiff offers a concrete alternative — DROP OUT NOW!

In December, 1919, Ponzi convinced about a dozen people that he could make them a 50% profit in 45 days by trading in international postal coupons. At the end of the first 45 days his first batch of "investors" lined up to claim their profits. Sure enough, Ponzi was as good as his word and paid his investors $375.00 for the $250.00 initially given him. As Ponzi expected, most of his investors handed the money right back to him so he could reinvest it for them and then they fanned out into the community, spreading the news that Ponzi could make everyone rich. The news spread quickly. Within a month thousands of people, money in hand, lined up in front of Ponzi's School Street office. He even hired 3 women to serve franks and coffee to those who had to wait. By April of 1920 he was taking in $250,000 a day, had 16 clerks just taking in money and nearly as many guarding it. In less than 6 months Ponzi collected over $10 million and his name was known from coast to coast. He refurbished his office and gave his company the impressive title, "SECURITIES EXCHANGE COMPANY". He purchased a 20 acre estate near Boston and spent $500,000 redecorating it. He supposedly spent $100,000 just stocking the wine cellar! He purchased large tracts of land and large interests in banks and investment companies. A chauffeur and footman, outfitted in plum colored livery, squired him around the city in a custom built limousine. Everywhere he went he was beseiged by well-wishers who cheered him and implored him to take their money. Ponzi's scheme collapsed when a spiteful former friend notified Boston police that Ponzi had served 3 years in a Montreal jail for forgery. This was confirmed by the Montreal police on April 11, 1920 when they supplied Boston authorities with a mug shot of Ponzi. What Ponzi had done, of course, was simple...he used the money given him by new "investors" to pay off older "investors". As long as more money came in than had to be paid out, the scheme worked (in all such scams money will keep coming in as long as enough people believe that they, too, will make what others are reported to have made). He was even able to skim off considerable amounts for himself to create and maintain a lavish personal and business life-style. What promoters of such swindles hope to do, of course, is to vanish with enough loot before the last round of victims realize they have been taken. Early "winners" are necessary in order for the scam to work. Such swindles, however, depend on an ever expanding army of new participants relative to those who drop out. When the tide turns, the scam inevitably collapses. The losses sustained by all those left holding the bag at the end finance the gains realized by earlier participants and the "profit" that the promoters skimmed off. Chain letters and pyramid schemes are variations of the Ponzi scam and rely, more or less, on the same principle. Americans have now been victimized by the greatest Ponzi swindle of them all - SOCIAL SECURITY! It really isn't any different from the scheme devised by Ponzi some 60 years ago - it's only bigger. It would not be inappropriate for the Social Security Administration to commission a large statue of Ponzi to adorn its main lobby in Baltimore, Maryland! The only difference between Social Security and Ponzi's scheme is that Social Security is much larger (involving a whole country) and was implemented by force. At least Ponzi didn't put a gun to anyone's head and force them to give him their money. And, like all Ponzi-type schemes, Social Security did allow some winners in the beginning; but, in the end, it, too, must collapse, leaving disappointment and heartache in its wake. Three or four generations of Americans will simply lose what two or three other generations might have gained and what was skimmed off by the plan's promoters — the Washington Bureaucracy. The political con artisits who pulled off and participated in this swindle must be punished. It is to this end that this book is also dedicated. 1 Socialism Arrives in America Social Security, a program that sprang from the womb of socialism is nothing more than a grotesque economic and social abortion. Like Socialism itself, it owes its very existence to public ignorance and gullibility. Both are swindles on every level — economic, social, moral and legal. The government has consistently misrepresented every aspect of Social Security to the public so Americans have absolutely no conception of an item in the Federal budget that accounts for 30% of the government's expenditures. The implication of this is staggering: better than 99% of Americans do not know anything about a program that consumes as much in taxes as does defense spending! Social Security is an economic fraud. It is not supported by even one sound economic principle; but, rather, is rooted in the pie-in-the-sky concepts of socialism and the chain letter. As such, it has constantly lowered the nation's standard of living. It is a fraud on the social level since it actually breeds, aggravates and intensifies all of society's social problems (i.e. creating a less self-reliant population, promoting crime, juvenile delinquency, dependency and unemployment). In effect, Social Security creates and breeds social insecurity, the exact opposite of its grandiose, presumptuous, self-serving and misleading title. In addition, the government has totally misrepresented its legal and financial character. What the public has been fed is a complete fairy tale—totally at odds with the real financial and legal nature of the program. However, when we face the fraudulent and illegal character of Social Security, we are brought face to face with what must be the fraudulent character of the Federal judiciary. Without the help of a fraudulent judiciary, the government could never have foisted such an illegal program on the public. Social Security's early advocates and promoters merely adopted the simplistic (but politically salable) economic nostrums of socialism, a common characteristic of much of what was passed off as "New Deal", "Fair Deal", "Great Society" and "New Frontier" programs. Variations of basic socialist doctrine were successfully peddled to the American public under the guise of "liberalism" and the "welfare state", a supposedly benevolent form of free enterprise. In reality, though, the "welfare state" is nothing but socialism disguised and peddled to the public under a more acceptable label. Politicians generally, of course, love to believe the social and economic philosophies espoused by left-wing intellectuals,1 since such philosophy fits right in with campaign rhetoric. Politicians love to promise the public that they (the politicians) can wipe out poverty, raise 1 Actually a contradiction of terms since no real intellectual could possibly accept the absurd and unworkable theories of socialism. Those who embrace such theories are not really intellectuals; they are usually social and economic theoreticians (either being too lazy to work or lacking in the ability to create real goods) who, for obvious psychological reasons, reject the economic theory that rewards hard work, creativity and risk taking in favor of one that compensates non-producers and economic cowards (which they invariably are) out of all proportion to their economic and social worth. living standards, lower rents and interest rates, reduce unemployment, save jobs, "make war on poverty", etc. They promise to do all of this without increasing taxes or requiring anyone to work harder or longer. Unfortunately, all too many are gullible enough to believe this — that politicians, who themselves produce nothing, can increase society's real wealth with laws and economic mirrors. Government all too often fills the need of those who must cling to a belief in Santa Glaus. But our nation's sorry crop of politicians don't raise society's standard of living—they lower it. All they do is pass laws that confiscate the wealth of some (in the guise of taxation) for the benefit of others, in exchange for votes. In the process, these politicians do earn considerable sums (and fringe benefits) for themselves ... which is why they go into politics in the first place.2 The majority of successful politicians are usually lawyers. Can you think of any segment of society less productive than lawyers?3 In the final analysis it can be said that government today largely consists of a bunch of lawyers passing largely unnecessary laws which (though interfering with society's real producers) do generate a lot of lucrative legal work and influence 1 It has also been my observation that the least productive members of society go into politics. Picture an individual who is hard working, creative, inventive with a lot of integrity. Ask yourself, "Does such a person go into politics?" Of course not! There might be some exceptions to this, but not many. 81 am not saying that society does not need some good lawyers, especially where criminal law and Constitutional rights are concerned. But it is my experience that most lawyers are incompetent and overpriced, with a good deal of their work being largely unnecessary. In addition, 75% of the world's lawyers practice in America ... this, alone, proves my point. Incidentally, America has 20 times as many lawyers per capita as Japan, which alone explains Japan's increasing ability to out-produce the U.S. in the area of consumer products. peddling for them and their cronies in the bar association.4 America's founding fathers, fully aware of the type of tyranny that governments are capable of, created a Constitution and a Bill of Rights to limit the power of government so as to prevent such tyrannies from taking place. Federal judges were appointed for life to keep them (theoretically) honest and independent so they would conscientiously enforce this Constitution and the rights secured under it to the public. The Federal judiciary, however, being a part of the Federal government itself, disregarded this trust and continually used its position to illegally expand the power and influence of the Federal government while under-mining individual rights and state sovereignty.6 Social Security Must Lower the Nation's Standard of Living It is a fundamental economic law that any society will get less of what it taxes and more of what it subsidizes. This principle is so basic that it qualifies as a truism. Let me explain how it works. If a government, 4 Since licensed lawyers are "officers of the court" all lawyers are automatically a part of the judicial branch of government. Thus, all licensed lawyers who serve in any legislature or executive capacity are automatically a part of two branches of government (legislative and judicial or executive and judicial) at the same time. Such a situation violates the "separation of powers" doctrine. Citizens in every state should seek to bar licensed lawyers from the other two branches of government unless they surrender their bar licenses. Otherwise, not only does such a situation violate the "separation of powers" doctrine, it violates the Constitutional provision outlawing the establishment of a "nobility". Ordinary Americans who are not lawyers are denied access to the judicial branch of government and can only serve in two branches of government while lawyers can serve in all three - and two of them at the same time! This constitutes a form of "nobility" that is barred by the Constitution. for example, placed a tax of $100.00 per year on "playing tennis", fewer people would play tennis. To some, playing tennis would not be worth $100.00 per year. If the "tennis playing" tax were raised to $200.00 per year, society would get fewer tennis players still. If the tax on "tennis playing" was increased further we would obviously get even fewer tennis players. And, if the tax were raised high enough, we could conceivably wipe out tennis playing altogether!6 Social Security (which you will soon learn is simply another "income" tax) is a tax on productivity since only those who are productive (i.e. working) are taxed. So, if government taxes "productivity", society must (in conformity with economic law) get less of it. The collateral principle, that a society "will get more of what it subsidizes", is also a truism. For example, if our government stated that it would pay an annual subsidy of $100.00 to anyone who played tennis, some people would now play tennis for the $100.00 subsidy. The nation would suddenly find it had more tennis players. If the government raised the "tennis" subsidy to $200.00 per year, we would obviously get more tennis players still. And, if the government raised the subsidy high enough, everybody in the country who could make it to a tennis court would be playing tennis! Since all Social Security "benefits" are tied to "not working" or working less, Social Security payments amount to a government subsidy for "not working" and, 5 The 10th Amendment was specifically designed to protect and secure individual rights and state sovereignty. It states, "...those powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited to it by the States, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people." ' Or, as was succinctly put by Chief Justice John Marshall, "The power to tax involves the power to destroy." (McCulloch v. Maryland, 4 Wheat. 316 (1819) in turn, America gets a lot more "non-workers" because of it. Since Social Security amounts to a tax on "productivity" and a subsidy for "non-productivity", the existence of such a program delivers a two-fold blow to the nation's economy. The nation gets fewer producers and more non-producers, which has to lower the nation's standard of living and quality of life. The government succeeded in selling such an idiotic plan to the nation because thousands of Federal politicians and bureaucrats have been thoroughly misstating and misrepresenting Social Security to the public. It has also received a lot of help over the years from supposed "experts" who have been feeding the public a lot of nonsense concerning Social Security. Examples of such nonsense are included in Appendix D. So let's cut through all the nonsense, find out what Social Security really is, and discover how anyone can drop out. |
