====Seminary on Vivien Kellems====
{{Tax resistance}}
Between 25 and 27 June 2010, the Movimento Libertario held in [[Bergamasco (AL)]] ([[Province of Alessandria]]) a three days of seminar and studies with theoretical learning and practical training on principles of libertarianism in economy, policy and culture in the contemporary society.<ref>[http://www.movimentolibertario.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4380:primo-seminario-vivien-kellems&catid=1:latest-news ''First seminar Vivien Kellems''] Retrieved on March 11, 2010.</ref>
This first seminar was entitled "''Vivien Kellems. The rigor of the ideas, the power of action''" and it will dedicated in honor of American entrepreneur [[Vivien Kellems]] and her battle over withholding tax in 1948 that she has described herself in her book ''Toil, Taxes and Trouble''.<ref>On the Kellems case, see Vivien Kellems, ''Toil, Taxes and Trouble'' (New York: E. P. Dutton, 1952)</ref>
This historical fact became a model for the Italian libertarian farmer Giorgio Fidenato to start his [[civil disobedience]] and [[Tax resistance]] against the Italian [[withholding tax]].
The Kellems case was presented also by [[Murray Newton Rothbard]] in his book ''[[For a New Liberty]]'':<ref>Murray Newton Rothbard, ''[[For a New Liberty]]. The Libertarian Manifesto.'', pag. 86, (New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1973). Archived from [http://mises.org/rothbard/newlibertywhole.asp http://mises.org/]</ref>
{{quotation|''The withholding feature of the income tax is a still more clear-cut instance of involuntary servitude. For as the intrepid Connecticut industrialist Vivien Kellems argued years ago, the employer is forced to expend time, labor, and money in the business of deducting and transmitting his employees' taxes to the federal and state governments — yet the employer is not recompensed for this expenditure. What moral principle justifies the government's forcing employers to act as its unpaid tax collectors? The withholding principle, of course, is the linchpin of the whole federal income tax system. Without the steady and relatively painless process of deducting the tax from the worker's paycheck, the government could never hope to raise the high levels of tax from the workers in one lump sum. Few people remember that the withholding system was only instituted during World War II and was supposed to be a wartime expedient. Like so many other features of State despotism, however, the wartime emergency measure soon became a hallowed part of the American system. It is perhaps significant that the federal government, challenged by Vivien Kellems to test the constitutionality of the withholding system, failed to take up the challenge. In February 1948 Miss Kellems, a small manufacturer in Westport, Connecticut, announced that she was defying the withholding law and was refusing to deduct the tax from her employees. She demanded that the federal government indict her, so that the courts would be able to rule on the constitutionality of the withholding system. The government refused to do so, but instead seized the amount due from her bank account. Miss Kellems then sued in federal court for the government to return her funds. When the suit finally came to trial in February 1951, the jury ordered the government to refund her money. But the test of constitutionality never came''. - [[Murray Newton Rothbard]] in [[For a New Liberty]]}}
The event have seen the presence of many Italian libertarian personalities of journalism, culture and communication, law and Austrian economy in the role of teachers for the participants.<ref>[http://www.movimentolibertario.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6036:seminario-vivien-kellems-ecco-il-programma&catid=1:latest-news ''Seminar Vivien Kellems, this is the program!''] Retrieved on June 8, 2010.</ref>
