Bring these crooks to justice, put them in jail and throw away the key. Drain the swamp now.

Time to end ALL 501 tax exemptions. No person or organization including the church should be exempt from paying taxes. Most of these groups are corrupt. Let’s get serious.

That’s not a bad point. The Johnson amendment would be moot for all time if that were the case.

Remind me again why I paid taxes? Oh, so I could fund corruption while my house continues to fall apart. . . Thank for the reminder.

Violations of 26 USC §§7201-7215 are frequently alleged in Income Tax indictments. The Supreme Court, relying upon the Congressional Record, has identified those penalty statutes as applying to all taxes in Title 26. They cannot allege violation of a “known legal duty” as required for a valid IT indictment. Ref. Sansone v. US, 380 US 343, 348.

With the progressive technocratic Leviathan, this level of fraud and abuse is not a bug. It’s a feature.

The Sovereign is not subject to tax. No federal asset can be taxed by a state [immune] nor can a state charge a sales tax on a federal purchase. The U.S. is a Republic form of govt where Citizens are Sovereign. Ref: Preamble, Art. IV, Sec. 4.

IRS relies upon a citizen signing a tax form, under oath, over the caveat of “taxpayer’s name” to identify you as legally responsible for a tax. You have just sworn that you legally owe a tax. Ref. 26 USC §7701 (a)(14). The court accepts your affidavit. The income tax is a known scam enforced by a perfidious judiciary.

true, based upon fraud on their part. Full disclosure in all transactions = everything must be spelled out in lay terms and in the open. No case law hunting, or from one code to the other, or deciphering their own definitions to otherwise generic words. What they do / have done is treason against The People using word games, lies, and then followed by intimidation to set their scheme on any open eyes.

LIBERTY, enshrined in the 5th and 14th Amendments, includes the Citizen’s opportunity to Pursue a Livelihood as a fundamental Right. Such Rights, similar to your Right to a Trial by Jury, are not suitable objects for taxation or fee. If it were otherwise, all Rights could be taxed out of existence. [87,000 new IRS agents are getting hired to harass ‘domestic terrorists’.] Ref 16A, American Jurisprudence 2nd, Constitutional Law §§ 616-617 (2009).

26 USC §1 authorizes an income tax on the “taxable income” of an individual. ‘Taxable income’ is not legally defined. If you wish to donate to the government, they will take your money—and demand more. This statute is never alleged to be violated in an indictment and is therefore not submitted to contestation with the burden of proof upon the plaintiff.

I imagine an example of the "far right" branch might be to allow so much free market activity, that business ethics goes largely unchecked, the result being the job market is brutal and only the military is a viable option for young men (& is presented as noble).

pretty much the opposite of what the Left wants, which is ever- tighter controls on the everyday details of everyday people.
