All the more reason to abolish the Income Tax, go to a flat rate user tax and abolish the IRS. Now all we have to do is elect some members to Congress who have backbones.
Does she even have a lawyer?
Well, when you start off with a premise as odd as that one, you've already got two strikes against you.
Allegedly...supposedly...
That doesn't generate a whole lot of confidence that their method actually works.
Well... this seems the manner of courts, to declare things based on what they believe the law to be, not necessarily what parties before it believe the law to be. An implied declaration that I am a Federal employee is a new one on me, and as for taxpayer comments, they are always free to include those on a separate sheet in the bundle, inserted in an order corresponding to the form to which they pertain.
STILL, if she paid in a timely fashion all the taxes that a proper form would have shown, why all this folderol. She owes nothing, there is nothing to calculate a penalty or an interest on.
And Lois Lerner and Hillary Clinton remain free women.
I applaud this woman as well. She should be held up in the same way as Rosa Parks always is. She is a hero (heroine?) and if this story ever gained currency it could result in the overhauling of the tax code (flat tax) and significantly downsizing of the IRS.
But, something as relevant as this doesn’t get much milage with the LIV. Plus, it doesn’t fit into the leftist agenda to fundamentally transform America.
Meanwhile Clinton to fundraise at house of tax evading Clinton Foundation donor:
Plus tax cheats Timothy Geithner and Al Sharpton are free men.
Having raised FedGov from a pup, the people are now surprised it has grown into an ill trained monster that growls at its own master.
It started out cute enough as a whelp. It always begged for more, and the Master, being indulgent and of good will himself, obliged. It grew larger and larger over time. Soon it began to growl ominously if meals were not presented on time. The Master grew apprehensive as FedGov was no longer a cute pup but had grown into a beast outweighing the Master and with greater strength.
On a leash, it was questionable as to whether FedGov or the Master was in control. FedGov went where it wanted, when it wanted, with Master in tow. For awhile, Master convinced himself that this was the direction he would have chosen anyway. This fiction was difficult to preserve whenFedGov sometimes decided to veer into a bramble while attempting to chase a rabbit.
The Master grew concerned by FedGov’s behavior, but attempts at controlling it grew increasingly dangerous. Attempting to take away the food bowl resulted in FedGov giving the Master a nasty bite. The Master realized he was no longer the master.
Writeup here is a little more clear as to what happened:
Great, now I have to pay money for this woman to sit in prison and get free food and housing on my tax dollar.
I laud the victim’s refusal to cooperate with the judge’s (an idiot)...
...
Really? You post a one-sided account of how to get thrown in jail and you think the judge is an idiot.
Hell, we shouldn’t pay until Lois Lerner coughs up those emails.
There's a fantasy for the ages.
I had a similar feeling when confronted with my divorce. I didn’t want it, didn’t think it was the right thing, and I didn’t much play along. She wanted out, and her lawyer wrote up the standard ‘irreconcilable differences’ junk.
I told my lawyer that I wouldn’t sign it like that. My lawyer worked with hers to word it such that I would sign it.
I tried to get him to sign it for me, but he says it doesn’t work like that. I guess I don’t get the power of atty thing.
I did not want to sign that paper...
FWIW, I remember reading an article (book?) concerning the actual ratification of the 16th Amendment. Some guy went back and looked at the actual voting records of all the state legislatures and found a lot of hanky-panky, a lot of fake votes, votes supposedly taken when the legislature wasn’t even in session, etc.
Based on what he found, the 16th Amendment was never legally ratified.
