I decided to upload the version that I had written on so you could see my notes. First of all, the FTB misrepresented what the law says regarding the withholding policies, trying to make them appear legitimate when they are not. This is collusion to cover up racketeering. Second of all, he admitted that he denied my 2011 Abatement Request without reviewing any of the documentation that I submitted — this is denial of due process. And finally, he claimed there was nothing the FTB could do about changing policies, which is a complete lie. By law, he should have disclosed my right to address this policy issue at the Annual Taxpayers Bill of Rights Meeting. Here is my response letter, which was copied to the Governor and the FTB’s Board Members.
Letter to Governor Brown Detailing Why FTB Withholding Practices Violates Law
April 9, 2018
Governor Gerry Brown
c/o State Capitol
Suite 1173
Sacramento, CA 95814
Re: Proof of More Illegal Activity By the FTB
Dear Governor Brown:
I am writing to alert you to the fact that the FTB has committed two more counts of colluding to cover up racketeering. I am also alerting you to the fact that, in their effort to cover up one racketeering scheme – the “rollover” money issue that I have been writing to you about for a year and a half now – they have inadvertently exposed a second racketeering scheme: withholding estimated tax payments made from married couples.Furthermore, in trying to cover up the “rollover” scheme, the FTB also flagrantly violated my State’s Rights.
I made several Formal Requests for a Policy Change to be addressed at the Annual Bill of Rights Meeting in December 2017. One of the things that I asked was to change was the policy of withholding estimated tax payments made via credit elects, or money that rolls over from one year to the next per line item 95 of the 540.
Enclosed is Ms. Maples, the Taxpayer Advocate, Formal Resolution to my requests. Please note that in the response, at no point in time did Ms. Maples address the topic that I asked about. Instead, she chose to address a different topic altogether: married couples.

Summary: I have caught the Franchise Tax Board, California’s Income Tax Collection Agency, utilizing an assortment of unlawful practices to scam extra tax money out of people (Section 1). I have been trying to put a stop to this government corruption (section 2). If you’d like to help me, I have suggestions at the bottom (section 3).
Both former Governor Brown and current Governor Newsom are actively protecting these schemes, as are State Controller Betty Yee and an assortment of other legislators.
Here is a video of me giving an 8-minute speech to legislators in December 2018, asking them to end some of these schemes. Since I was limited to only eight minutes, I couldn’t address all of the schemes that I’ve found. In the video, I flat out accused them of racketeering, along with other assorted violations. Even though they had more time to speak, the FTB only gave a 2-minute response. Susan Maples only responded to two of the eight items that I brought up, and Jozel Brunett gave a blanket statement that FTB is not doing anything unlawful.
The FTB’s written response to my speech is here: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/about-ftb/meetings/taxpayer-bill-of-rights/2018_Grab_Response.pdf. This response is full of legal improprieties – so much so that the Taxpayer Advocate refused to sign it when I pointed out that her signature was missing.
