Title: Re: Anyone else hear about this? Post by Lobster on Jul 12th, 2007, 4:04pm I see that the jury found him not guilty. Very interesting development. Up until this pretty much every 'income tax is unconstitutional' argument landed the person in the big house for tax evasion. |

Title: Re: Anyone else hear about this? Post by Redd on Jul 12th, 2007, 4:09pm I just wasn't sure if anyone had been following this case at all. It's is very interesting, and would seen to nullify earlier convictions on the same gounds...would it not? |

No... each case stands on its own, but it could be referenced as a precedent in an appeal. Ed and Elaine Brown are holed up on their estate on the same basis. Interesting can of worms this might open. Most agree that the federal government has greatly overstepped its intended limits, funded mainly by income tax. That said, much of our way of life is based on that existing balance. |

Title: Re: Anyone else hear about this? Post by Redd on Jul 12th, 2007, 4:37pm Hell, As the laws are REALLY written, (or at least how I'm coming to understand this) the rich who are making profits off already earned income have tax shelters to protect those profits, when it is legal to tax these profits. It's all been happening back asswards. I want to find out simply what the case number of this District Court case is. I have some plans come January... ;) |

Title: Re: Anyone else hear about this? Post by Redd on Jul 13th, 2007, 10:10am http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070713/NEWS03/707130321/1062/NEWS03 News story about the ruling. I can understand why, after this has become a way of life, filing 1040 forms and calculating withholdings and exemptions that if is nearly unbelievable that Tom didn't get his butt thrown in jail. The government actually dismissed all felony charges against him prior to trial. Could it be that they knew without a doubt that they didn't have the proof that any such law exists? I don't know for sure, but I think this will be interesting to see it play out over time. |

My understanding of how the revenue gained from Federal income taxes is earmerked is that it goes to the Federal reserve to pay the interest on the Federal Debt. Now I'm thinking...if it's(possibly) not legal to tax income federaly, and state taxes are in anyway based on the legality that federal taxes are paid is it even (again, possibly) legal to enforce state income taxes? Logically it would follow that if pay in exchange for labor is not federaly taxable then it shouldn't be taxable on a state level, as state laws must also comply with federal law? And if a Supreme Court has defined what is and isn't taxable income doesn't every state have to comply? I admit I'm thinking aloud here...I'm no laywer. |

Title: Re: Anyone else hear about this? Post by UN solved on Jul 13th, 2007, 10:13pm Sounds nice that Americans may not have to pay taxes. But then again, what would happen to this country if the tax revenues stopped all together ? we'd most likely implode into a civil war, where every man would be for himself. It wouldn't be pretty at all ! UNsolved |

Title: Re: Anyone else hear about this? Post by BarbaraD on Jul 15th, 2007, 5:46am This stuff is awesome. It would mean that the IRS and all it's power is ILLEGAL. Maybe it's time for people to stand up and say so.... Hugs BD |

Title: Re: Anyone else hear about this? Post by burnt-toast on Jul 15th, 2007, 10:04am Paying income taxes doesn’t bother me they are important to maintain essential services and operations of government. It’s the increasing levels of taxation, reckless spending and lack of government accountability that bothers me. It’s not a Democrat vs. republican issue both party’s have/are contributing to this taxpayer nightmare of limitless debt and taxes. It starts with accountability and unfortunately far too many voters and taxpayers choose to ignore out of control government growth and spending. There’s the fraud of payroll taxes on employees and employers for Social Security funding general operations instead of being invested to provide survivor/retirement benefits as intended. A $2 and $3 trillion in principal that should have/be collecting investment returns for the Social Security trust has disappeared in a mountain of worthless government IOU’s promising minimal paper interest from a government $9 Trillion in debt. The only means the government has to actually pay the interest or even restore the missing principal is to impose new tax forcing U.S. citizens to repay their own money raised from already misappropriated taxes. Secondly federal, state and local government all get their cuts based on gross income. Essentially everyone is paying taxes on the taxes they pay to the feds. Since not raising income taxes is a hot topic, government increasingly supplants income taxes with creative taxes on all basic services (hidden taxes is the term coined by Al Gore) to hide the fact that taxes are endlessly increasing (telephone, electricity, natural gas, etc., etc., etc.). Then we get hit for sales tax, property tax, federal excise taxes, school taxes, etc., etc., etc., while supplementing growing levels of taxation with fees charged for virtually all required government licensing, permitting, services, etc., etc., etc. But it’s still never enough to support government growth that has extended its tentacles to control every aspect of daily life. Without ever having to account for where the money goes, state and local governments are always on the verge of bankruptcy while school districts and municipal boards always need more - so they increasingly turn to bond markets to “balance” budgets creating even greater future taxpayer liabilities claiming endless borrowing is a magical form of financial stability. What’s more, the federal government borrows from foreign nations to subsidize its massive and growing debt. Just think about the inflation and economic stagnation this has created for the average person. Consumer dollars feeding unproductive government operations stifles true economic growth and productivity in the “free market” our insatiable political leaders claim to support. Tom |

Title: Re: Anyone else hear about this? Post by Jonny on Jul 15th, 2007, 10:29am the Sixteenth Amendment was passed by the Sixty-first Congress and submitted to legislatures of the several states on July 12, 1909. The amendment was the crowning feature of a larger trend of legislative action meant to curb the power of the wealthy. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/16th_Amendment_Pg1of1_AC.jpg/396px-16th_Amendment_Pg1of1_AC.jpg The Supreme Court's interpretation of the Sixteenth Amendment has changed considerably over time and there have been many disputes about the applicability of the amendment.......Yeah right! |

Title: Re: Anyone else hear about this? Post by Opus on Jul 15th, 2007, 8:30pm There has never been a law saying that you must pay Federal income taxes. The only thing you must legally do is file your tax forms correctly, any mistake and they have got you. That law was used to put many a mobster behind bars. Paul |
