The bakery owners must be Christian and Conservative..
People are going to start putting savings in mattresses again if this keeps up.
From article:
As David Vocatura was travelling from Connecticut to Washington, D.C., he received word from the federal government that the $68,000 the IRS took from Vocatura’s Bakery was going to be returned.
The news came just hours after the Institute for Justice filed a lawsuit against the government on behalf of David Vocatura calling on the IRS to return the money.
The government is continuing to move forward with its investigation into the bakery, though.
“David Vocatura had made cash deposits of under $10,000 into the bakery’s account, but only after a bank employee called the bakery in 2007 to tell them that deposits of more than that amount required them to submit additional paperwork.”
“The terminology that they used was never really explained to us in detail,” David Vocatura told The Daily Signal. “We just thought it was an inconvenience or a nuisance for [the bank].”
WRONG. Stop right there. You call a lawyer right then and there. If there ANY issues like that you call a lawyer. You figure out the law and you obey it. Problem solved.
Whether the law is correct or moral or warm and fuzzy is irrelevant. You have to follow the law.
This stupid law in particular was enacted after 9/11 and is completely stupid.
I’m glad they’re finally getting their money back.
Any business that accepts cash is guilty of structuring according to IRS.
The Federal Government is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a legitimate entity.
This is just terrible.
Haven’t read any comment here yet, but I’m sure someone will post these same two words...
Unintended Consequences”
One day the sheep will realize they have teeth and will bite back. It won’t be pretty.
“How our hearts burned with the camps...if only...”
Wake up America.
It was all very legal and we all paid our taxes but by structuring it so, we paid as little tax as possible but it was still a hell of a lot. I was never audited nor accused of structuring money, though some months I had zero income and others over ten thousand dollars and oddly enough most months just under ten thousand if I worked that month.
What this man did with his bakery should have raised no red flags for audits and even worse confiscation of his money. My income should have raised many red flags but it did not.
The Armed Services are to "defend us from enemies both foreign and domestic." Who defends us when the domestic enemy is the Federal Government led by the executive that is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Services?
There is a common sense solution to this IRS Gestapo behavior. Abolish the IRS in favor of the “fair tax.” then abolish the departments of Education and Energy. The Constitution grants no power to the federal government in these activities therefore the authority remains with the states.
Donald Trump should say he will have these IRS thugs fired on his first day in office.
I urge straight people everywhere to locate gay bakeries and walk in with
“I Stump for Trump” buttons and make them bake cakes for straight Christian weddings.
Fair’s fair.
