Title

Circuit-Specific Application of the Internal Revenue Code: An Unconstitutional Tax

Abstract

My manuscript unmasks a dirty little secret of the federal government, namely, that the Internal Revenue Service is applying various tax laws in a non-uniform manner in violation of the Tax Uniformity Clause (Art. I, § 8, cl. 1) of the United States Constitution. It is indisputable that the Framers of the Constitution intended for federal taxes be applied uniformly throughout the nation; that is, residents of New York ought to pay the same tax as residents of California. The IRS’s practice, however, is quite the contrary.
