Right off the bat let me say that I hate the IRS and support any efforts to oppose
them and the oppressive taxation we live under, as well as their holier than thou
attitude, and "presumed guilty" mindset. Having said that though this case is twaddle
and will probably be thrown out as a nuisance, and the man forced to pay even more
money. The only hope he has is that he is a foriegn national, and if it goes to trial
with a jury. The jury will have some prejudice against the IRS that should help him.
The idea of voluntary compliance is such that the IRS does no investigation or
tracking of individual taxpayer information, thus they rely upon your voluntary
compliance (they CAN'T MAKE or FORCE you to file a return or tell them how much you
make) in order to determine your tax liability. (Thus, there is a possibility that if
you never file, and remain below the radar, with cash paying jobs then you may escape
forever paying any taxes.) NOW, they can't force your voluntary compliance, BUT if you
do not "voluntarily comply" they can forcibly take any monies that you are obliged to
pay, if they find you. They can get all your records, and determine the tax that you
owe, and they can make you pay, even garnishing wages and selling your property. I
don't like it but this has been going on for some time, the courts always rule in this
fashion (it doesn't matter whether it is logical or moral). You argue this and you
lose, period.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths,
misdirections
and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with major and
minor
effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said,
CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
