Case Filing
IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION
xdbh
Plaintiff
v.
Commonwealth of Redmont
Defendant
COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:
Your Honor,
I stand before you to request that this Court prevent an imminent and unlawful injury. As the language of the Taxation Act stands, the Commonwealth is currently executing section 4 of said act in a manner that is not prescribed by law. Specifically, the prescribes that Personal Balance Taxes be calculated using a "Bracket" method while the current mechanism imposed calculates taxes using a "Step" method, which creates "Tax Cliffs" that greatly over-tax.
These illegal seizures have severely hindered my ability to enjoy the Commonwealth and have created a significant "economic chilling effect" on my activity. Under the "Step" method, 0% of my wealth is taxed up to $99,999.99. However, the moment I earn a single cent more, I am subjected to an effective tax rate of 10,000,000% on that marginal cent, resulting in an immediate $1,000.00 seizure. This "Tax Cliff" is a mathematical absurdity that violates the Executive’s duty to enforce the law as written. I believe the merits of this case will become self-evident as my arguments are heard.
I. PARTIES & STANDING
1. The Plaintiff, xdbh2. The Defendant, Commonwealth of Redmont
3. The Standing (Court Rules 2.1):
a. Rule 2.1(1)(b): The Plaintiff is directly affected by the application of law, specifically the Taxation Act, which threatens an imminent and certain seizure of property.
b. Rule 2.1(2): The threatened injury is against the law, as the Defendant utilizes an illegal "Step" calculation.
c. Rule 2.1(3): The remedy sought—including Injunctions, Writs, and Damages—is applicable under law.
II. FACTS
1. "Tax Brackets" or other related terms such as "bracket amounts" are technical and specific terms that refer to a specific way to calculating taxes.2. The initial proposal for the Taxation Act (the First Wealth Act) utilized the phrasing "Personal balances between [X] and [Y]... shall be taxed," which describes a "Step" taxation system.
3. The Legislature subsequently amended this language (in the Make Commercial Tax less Convoluted Act) to read: "The following bracket amounts are inclusive and shall be taxed..."
4. The amendment specifically removed the phrase "Personal balances" as the subject of the tax rate and replaced it with the technical term "bracket amounts."
5. A "bracket amount" refers to the specific portion of funds falling within a defined range, whereas a "personal balance" refers to the total sum held by an individual.
6. The Commonwealth utilizes an automated mechanism that calculates tax based on the Total Personal Balance (the "Step" method) as opposed to "bracket amounts".
7. The Plaintiff’s balance is imminently approaching the threshold where this improperly calculated seizure will occur.
III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
CLAIM I: UNLAWFUL EXECUTION OF STATUTE (Taxation Act §4(2))The Taxation Act §4(2), as amended by the Make Commercial Tax less Convoluted Act, provides that "the following bracket amounts are inclusive and shall be taxed at the following rates weekly." The original First Wealth Tax Act used the phrase "Personal balances between [X] and [Y]... shall be taxed at a rate of..." Congress deliberately replaced "Personal balances" as the subject with "bracket amounts." A "bracket amount" is the portion of funds falling within a defined range. A "personal balance" is the total sum held. The step method taxes the personal balance; the statute mandates taxing bracket amounts. The Commonwealth is executing the statute contrary to its plain text.
IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
The Plaintiff seeks the following from the Defendant:1. A Writ of Mandamus ordering the Commonwealth to refrain from the "Step" calculation method and utilize the "Marginal" method as mandated by the "Bracket Amount" language in the Taxation Act. (Judicial Standards Act §10a)
2. A Declaratory Judgment that the Taxation Act §4(2) requires marginal bracket taxation, and that the Commonwealth's "Step" method is unlawful.
3. Nominal Damages of $5,000 (Legal Damages Act §6).
4. Consequential Damages of $35,000 for the "Loss of Enjoyment in Redmont" due to the economic chilling effect (Legal Damages Act §7).
5. Legal Fees for a pro se litigant at the 30% rate or the Federal Court minimum of $6,000 (Legal Damages Act §9).
V. EVIDENCE & EXHIBITS
EXHIBIT 1: Taxation Act (As it stands on the filing of this complaint), including its legislative history and all posts pertaining to it.EXHIBIT 2: Plain text definition and examples of "Tax bracket".
EXHIBIT 3: A visualization of tax rates as it stands (Step Taxation) compared to how the Taxation Act prescribes (Marginal Taxation).
By making this submission, I agree I understand the penalties of lying in court and the fact that I am subject to perjury should I knowingly make a false statement in court.
DATED: This 17th day of February 2026
