Sad But True I m a Tax Protester Written by Jim
Dear Reader,
A few days ago my wife and I met a law professor from one of our local universities. After several minutes of conversation we learned that she’s involved in a free local tax assistance program. My mind instantly went to our dear friend that’s having the major problems with the IRS.
I began asking this law professor some questions.
The questions I asked involved the law, as its written, in the Code. My concern was and is, what does the law allow the IRS to do when collecting taxes and even more importantly, what does the law require the IRS to do before they can attempt to collect taxes. And most importantly, who does the law apply too?
Her answer should shock you. She said she didn’t get involved in the law. She doesn’t question whether the IRS is doing its job legally or illegally. She presumes the IRS is complying with the law. She presumes tax laws apply to everyone alive. She relies completely on the RULES. The rules written by the IRS explaining how they interpret the law and how they require you to comply.
Her job is to help people comply with the IRS rules. If necessary, point out to the IRS where they may have made a data entry or mathematical mistake, and request the IRS correct it. She helps people negotiate a reduction in penalties and interest. But, never questions whether those penalties or interest charges are valid, let alone legal.
What really got my goat, she accused me of being a “tax protester.” According to her standards and her world (her words) anyone who questions the law and how the IRS administers it, is a tax protester.
This coming from a law professor. Someone who teaches people how to be an attorney at law. Someone who allegedly teaches “law.”
Later that evening, after giving some thought to our conversation, I looked at my wife and declared: I really feel sorry for the poor schmuck. She’s helping to ruin our world and her world and is to stupid to even know it.
Consider our history.
One night, a couple of hundred years ago, a bunch of men got together, dressed up like Indians and illegally boarded several ships belonging to someone else and threw the cargo into the harbor.
I don’t know if they still teach this in public school history class; but, this was known as the “Boston Tea Party.” It was American colonists protesting the increase in “TAX” on the tea imported into the colonies. This marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Our country was founded on and by “tax protesters.” Which puts me in pretty good company.
What little freedom you, me and this law professor still have is the direct result of the bravery these long forgotten “tax protesters” showed many years ago. The massive amount of freedoms we have lost over the years is due to the go along to get along, don’t rock the boat, which way is most profitable, attitude of people like our law professor.
I had another realization.
I have, for a long time, considered attorneys at law just lying, cheating, dishonest, traitors. That may not be entirely true.
This lady is a law professor. She teaches other people how to be attorneys. More than likely, all the other law professors are just like her. Don’t question the law, don’t question their world, they just teach people how to manipulate it for profit.
Which would mean that most attorneys at law aren’t necessarily stupid, they’re just ignorant. They don’t know any better.
Na….
When our country was set up, when the Constitution was written, the judicial branch was designed to be independent. Its sole purpose was to protect you and I [sic] from the power grabs of the administrative and congressional branches of government. The authors must have thought lawyers of their day were above the petty need to gratify their egos and a lust for power. That they would put the people and their country before the needs of a few. Two Hundred and Thirty years ago, this might have been true. It certainly isn’t today.
The members of the judicial branch, those alleged guardians of the law, have failed us miserably. And intentionally.
If you’re [sic] rights and freedom still have any meaning to you, you’ll have to protect them on your own. Todays attorneys at law don’t get involved in the law, rights, or freedom.
Poster Comment:
from another great but apparently defunct website. Maybe it will shame some of them [lawyers] into doing what needs to be done from their angle. After all, the IRS is just the enforcement arm of the Federal Reserve, a private [not to mention, FOREIGN] corporation. All other corporations have the right and ability to sue AND BE SUED. Why not them???
