Poerett 0 #501 January 11, 2011 QuoteBannister was acquitted. You can't go to jail for giving bad advice and the law was on his side here. But the case wasn't about himQuote Really? It "wasn't about him"? Who was Bannisters' case about? I mean.., the guy probably was forced to spend at least $100,000 ,maybe more, to defend himself against these phony charges by IRS agents who most likely don't understand the law themselves!!! I'll bet like you , they've never read it in it's entirety!! But Joe Bannisters' case wasn't about Joe Bannister? So if the IRS is prosecuting cases when they know the defendant is innocent ,and they are just intimidating the citizens and trying to blleed them dry, is this a legitemate government?

The problem with taxing "the rich" and other "solutions" to our economic woes is that it presupposes that a solution exists. It does not - at least in the sense that we simply cannot balance the books and continue on in the manner to which we have become accustomed. The government - and our U.S. society in general - is like a gambler who has been allowed unlimited markers at the high-stakes table, and is on a world-class losing streak. You can not give them enough that they can not throw it away (and then some) on the next pass. Even if you were to somehow take a $ billion each from fourteen thousand billionares to balance the books for a minute or two, we are on such a downward trajectory that it would not affect the outcome in the slightest. If we were constrained to live within our means, the U.S. economy would implode immediately. I know it is appealing to assume that, if you could find enough people with enough money and take it away from them, we would be all right. The fact is that we are royally screwed either way.

The problem with taxing "the rich" and other "solutions" to our economic woes is that it presupposes that a solution exists. It does not - at least in the sense that we simply cannot balance the books and continue on in the manner to which we have become accustomed. The government - and our U.S. society in general - is like a gambler who has been allowed unlimited markers at the high-stakes table, and is on a world-class losing streak. You can not give them enough that they can not throw it away (and then some) on the next pass. Even if you were to somehow take a $ billion each from fourteen thousand billionares to balance the books for a minute or two, we are on such a downward trajectory that it would not affect the outcome in the slightest. If we were constrained to live within our means, the U.S. economy would implode immediately. I know it is appealing to assume that, if you could find enough people with enough money and take it away from them, we would be all right. The fact is that we are royally screwed either way. It has been fun while it lasted.

It is akin to being aboard an airliner about to crash and jumping up at that last second (a scenario whereby you impact at 548 mph instead of 550). Not to mention the fact that the "rich" tend to be those for whom others tend to work, and, without them, jobs are few and far between (except for the Gov't - welcome back to Zimbabwe). Zimbabwe considered it a grand idea to take property away from the "rich" and to give it to deserving negroes. The result was that productive farms failed, as did the economy thereafter. If "forced social equality" is your idea of a good thing, you are welcome to emigrate to Zimbabwe. Good luck with that.

nanook 1 #505 January 11, 2011 QuoteWe the People have petitioned the government to define the term "income". As to this day our petition remains unanswered . "We the people" need to do thier own research and get a dictionary. QuoteHow could anyone file a legitemate income tax document if they don't know the definition of "income" whithin the law? You are not grasping it. . . The definition in the tax code is not a dictionary definition. It isn't meant to be a definition. It's purpose is to list items and processes that are considered a particular type of income in that subchapter. If this is too hard for you, it's your fault, not the IRS or other agencies. Everyone else gets it. You are not exposing holes in anything. Everything you have put out has been discredited. You are not enlightening anyone here._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #506 January 11, 2011 Quote I'm still waiting on the definition of "income " within the tax code. Dude! Go do your own research! Just as simple as that! You're spending more energy and wasting more bandwidth on trying to get someone else to do it for you than it takes to do it yourself. Oh...wait...maybe you think you're dealing with "the PhD". In that case, my bad, My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
