Why Pay Taxes? See How Not To-Just Kidding
Imagine a world without taxes... Sounds nice, ha? Well, some
people do not just dream, they make this dream come true. Is
what they're doing legal? not so much. Can you do the same? Sure
you can. However, strong word of advice: do not try it at home.
So, how does it really work? How do you stand up to the Internal
Revenue Service and just do not pay taxes?
Actually it does not work, and if you do that you may be in
trouble. But for some people this cat and mouse game with the
IRS is not so problematic, so they made up a list of reasons
(excuses) for not paying taxes to the government. The IRS calls
this list "Frivolous Tax Arguments".
And here they are, the most outrages reasons for not paying
taxes. Now remember, there are real people who instead of filing
their tax return, send a letter to the Internal Revenue Service
saying that they are not willing to pay any taxes because of the
following reasons:
The filing of a tax return is voluntary - no it's not, filing is
mandatory, by law.
Taxpayer is not a citizen of the United States, thus not subject
to the federal income tax laws - taxpayer can be a citizen,
resident or non-resident and as such subject to tax.
The United States consists only of the District of Columbia,
federal territories, and federal enclaves - The US consists of
DC, 50 state and other territories.
Taxpayer is not a person as defined by the Internal Revenue
Code, thus is not subject to the federal income tax laws -
taxpayer is either a person or a legal entity and as such
subject to tax.
Taxpayers can refuse to pay income taxes on religious grounds by
invoking the First Amendment - No, the tax code is a federal
law, and religious is not a ground for non-payment.
Federal income taxes constitute a taking of property without due
process of law, violating the Fifth Amendment - TITLE
26--INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, imposes the federal tax, thus
representing a due process.
Taxpayers do not have to file returns or provide financial
information because of the protection against self-incrimination
found in the Fifth Amendment - Wrong, filing a tax return is
mandatory and Fifth Amendment is not a legitimate ground for not
filing.
And the list goes on and on and on. Think it's funny? Think it's
not real? Just go to the IRS website and read what the IRS
thinks about those excuses and the people who make them up.
Conclusion
So, while we keep paying those nerve racking taxes and dream of
a taxless world, other people join the tax resistance and use an
almost believable reasons for not paying them taxes.
Keep dreaming.
