Is it time to stop paying Federal Taxes?

[BillyC]

What frosts me is that the Monitor is still using the old Marxist 'defamation' tactic, so old and worn out...

Not gonna work...


I'd say that ankle-biting is a good description of what the media tries to do around here!

Main stream news media will never dig deep enough to find the truth about the misdeeds of our government.
Ed is going to find out that they will investigate him though.
Its funny how they will jump on the common man like a pack of rabid dogs but the misdeeds of government officials are left alone.
You might see a small blurb but that's it.
How about some ambush journalism regarding the Bilderberger meeting in Canada right now?
Why not follow some politicians around and hang the treasonous ones out to dry????
None of them will " investigate " the important news that effects our nation.

They are cowards and will not bite the globalist hand that feeds them.

They are cowards and will not bite the globalist hand that feeds them.

You answered your own question. The globalist hand feeds them. The are part of the globalist blitzkrieg.

This gentleman contacted me regarding his fight against tyranny...

I've been reading this thread and have a few comments from previous pages...but this caught my eye. If this guy is military...he IS REQUIRED to file. It's one of those interesting things when you compare how the word REQUIRED is used to impose the tax. In the military rules it is used properly. In the case of civilians (We The People) is is only implied. I suspect he lost badly. Remember, military personell are GI's (General Issues) who give up all kinds of rights in order to be trained and committed to following orders.

RE: The Dirty Dozen Tax Scams...If you read carefully you see there is one common thread. To be a TAX PROTESTOR you HAVE TO FILE A RETURN. For those of us who no longer file (I stopped in 1980) we are NON FILERS...not protesters.
For those of you for personal or religious beliefs who continue to feed your jailer...not paying will increase your sense of personal power to the Nth degree! The IRS is no different then any of the other alpahbet agencies. Look past the illusion of the label...and there is always a Human Being telling you what to do.
I've stopped filing...I spent the 80's going through the assesment/appeals process and I won because I WROTE LAST. [A maxim in law is: He who writes last...wins.] No court date...no jail time. In fact, I was summoned twice to bring my records in. Never had more fun in my life then when I asked the agent Irwin Schiffs questions. 1) If I give you this information can it be used against me? When they answer yes, 2) Then what law REQUIRES me to give it to you? [That's a constitutional argument without quoting the constitution!]
Tracy...if I recall you are basically hoping enough people lead the way to make it easier for you. In the mid-90's, then IRS Commissionar Margaret Milnor Richardson was quoted as saying there were 50,000,000 Americans who no longer filed. (If I didn't add enough zeros...that's 50 million!). The tax man is dead but like the dinasour the message just hasn't reached the brain yet. [It was assumed making that numbe public was to test the waters to get the flat-tax passed...because if true...that's a staggering number, which has only grown...right Russell!]
Do not fear the IRS. Just protect your property. And for those of you who work for somebody else...it's tougher to get out...but possible.
I no longer enjoy or attempt with much enthusiasm of explaining what the tax code says. In fact, there's really nothing wrong with what it says. It does not in any part say we are required to file. It's how the code is MIS-applied. A quick example. Section 7203: 'Any person required to file...." I may have slept through half my high school english classes but it's so very obvious to me that proper english would dictate that 'Any person required' mean some are...and some are not. Now, if it said, "Every person is required (and I fell under the definition of 'person'...I'd have a requirement). If you read it carefully it really says..."Every person who may be required to file...." It's all about how the word Required is used to imply not impose. Now, to me, the question is very simple...SHOW ME THE LAW! Just showing me one law will do. And when they can't...then each of us must either accept the truth that the income tax is unconstitutional (and downright damaging to our lives) or pay it and don't complain about how much, or how it's spent, or any other problem with it. Just keep paying your jailers to keep you in prison.

In this issue of Keene Free Press, Dave Ridley wrote in about the Browns. They were busted for refusing to pay federal income tax. Now I think he was getting his information from the Monitor, and he reffered to them as tax protesters.
An article written last year quoted Mr. Brown as saying he was not a tax protestor. He said he pays taxes left and right, if they are legal. The federal income tax is not a legally justified mandatory tax. By not filing, you are not protesting or engaging in civil disobedience, you are just undertaking a legal action.

I'm glad to see the issue addressed in Keene Free Press, but I'm not sure that the Browns would like to see themselves described as "tax protestors". FYI they are in charge of the Constitution Rangers, a constitutional watchdog group.

Hi everyone,

This is Margot.

I am glad you stopped by. Have you met Jane yet? I think you 2 would have much to talk about.

You could write in with what you know about income taxes.

Still paying?  The "lawmakers accept" is a nice bit of trash....like they didn't give the pay raise to themselves.


House lawmakers accept $3,300 pay hike

By ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Press Writer 40 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Despite record low approval ratings, House lawmakers Tuesday embraced a $3,300 pay raise that will increase their salaries to $168,500.


The 2 percent cost-of-living raise would be the seventh straight for members of the House and Senate.

Lawmakers easily squelched a bid by Rep. Jim Matheson (news, bio, voting record), D-Utah, to get a direct vote to block the COLA, which is automatically awarded unless lawmakers vote to block it.

In the early days of GOP control of Congress, lawmakers routinely denied themselves the annual COLA. Last year, the Senate voted 92-6 to deny the raise but quietly surrendered the position in House-Senate talks.

As part of an ethics reform bill in 1989, Congress gave up their ability to accept pay for speeches and made annual cost-of-living pay increases automatic unless the lawmakers voted otherwise.

The pay issue has been linked to the annual Transportation and
Treasury Department spending bill because that measure stipulates that civil servants get raises of 2.7 percent, the same as military personnel will receive. Under a complicated formula, the increase translates to 2 percent for members of Congress.

Like last year, Matheson led a quixotic drive to block the raise. He was the only member to speak on the topic.

"I do not think that it is appropriate to let this bill go through without an up or down vote on whether or not Congress should have an increase in its own pay," Matheson said.

But by a 249-167 vote, the House rejected Matheson's procedural attempt to get a direct vote on the pay raise.

The pay raise would also apply to the vice president ? who is president of the Senate ? congressional leaders and Supreme Court justices.

This year, Vice President Cheney, House Speaker
Dennis Hastert and Chief Justice
William Rehnquist receive $212,100. Associate justices receive $203,000. House and Senate party leaders get $183,500.

President Bush's salary of $400,000 is unaffected by the legislation.

The only good thing about the government redefining inflation so it's 2-3% instead of 7-8% like it would be if we used Nixon Era or Austrian Definitions. Is that the Raises congresscritters give themselves are a lot less then they would be otherwise. As maddening as $3,300 is. It's still better then 7 or $8,000.

Tracy ..... always looking on the bright side.
You must still be paying taxes to these goons.

[tracysaboe]

 

Always look for silver linings.

Even if you need to really Rrreeeaaaacccchh  for them.

[Dreepa]

Yeah I have to wonder why the SLPC was quoted.  What do 'tax protesters' and 'hate groups' have in common?

Congress getting another raise... have they no fuckin' shame?  Where is that 'Contract with America'?

[Russell Kanning]

You know what? I ain't payin!

Bush?s Psycho Air Force chief sez: Test weapons on Americans!!
http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=7074

Nonlethal weapons such as high-power microwave devices should be used on American citizens in crowd-control situations before they are used on the battlefield, the Air Force secretary said Tuesday.

Don's comment:

I vote for Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne to be our official testee.  If he feels that it's okay to use on US Citizen, then he ought to be the first person in line to have them tested on him.
