This was Free Republic the last time I checked, not Free Government. The Constitution was supposedly designed to keep the government off the backs of the people. I keep this concept in mind whenever there is a dispute between the government and the people.
Oh, I see.
Any time some tax evader gets held to account, it’s a matter of keeping the government “off the backs of the people.”
Wow. Who knew that merely invoking “the Constitution” is a free pass to endless criminal activity without consequence?
Obviously you won’t mind at all if I evade a million or two in taxes, right?
All against laws duly passed by a Constitutionally designated legislature, signed by a Constitutionally designated executive and upheld by Constitutionally designated courts.
What could be simpler? Get that darned Constitutional government off my back, I’ve got cheating and evading to do!
Bravo! You make really great nonsense arguments. They certainly suit my purposes as a potential tax cheater and evader. With myriad other possibilities.
It’s good to know that you’re an anarchist in favor of all manner of cheating and illegality. Who needs those silly Constitutionally enacted laws? They’re just so many words on paper. I’m “people.” Get that stuff “off my back.”
It must be great good fun to be an anarchist like you. Where do I sign up for your insipid philosophy? Do I have to subscribe to some theory that people and dinosaurs both existed 6,000 years ago? Or, can I go for something a little less goofy?
Meanwhile, I won’t hold my breath waiting for you to post an actual defense of tax evasion done in the name of religion or anything else. Why? Because no such defense exists.
