The Income Illusion: How America’s Tax and Child Support Laws Collide with Supreme Court Precedent

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

The U.S. tax and child support systems rest on a legal contradiction: for over a century, the Supreme Court has maintained that wages are not “income,” yet the IRS and child support agencies tax and seize wages as if they are. This inconsistency raises serious constitutional concerns, affecting Americans’ rights and finances.

Loudoun County’s War on Privacy: How Policy 8040 and Title IX Are Being Weaponized Against Students

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

Loudoun County has once again landed at the center of a national firestorm—this time for punishing two boys who expressed discomfort about sharing a locker room with a biological female identifying as male. Instead of disciplining the student who illegally recorded them, school officials branded the boys as Title IX violators, handing down suspensions and permanent marks on their records. With Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, Governor Glenn Youngkin, and now U.S. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon weighing in, this case could become a landmark battle over privacy, parental rights, and the misuse of Title IX.
