The Great Logbook Scam

Interesting post n welcome

 

Unless you're one of Obama's buddies or are legally exempt, you will pay taxes or face the consequences. This advice here will only get you in trouble regardless of whether you think it's Constitutional or not!

The IRS can and will confiscate your property and/or throw you in the pokey for not paying your taxes. Just the same with the DOT regs, you will end up paying heavy fines and end up unemployed if you try to use those tactics.

Good story, but in the real world, it just doesn't fly!

 

Well that's the biggest crock of $h1T I'e read in a while. If there were successful cases of fighting the IRS based upon the constitution then these rich/famous people who fight the IRS wouldn't be losing. I mean come on you think a normal worked can afford a better lawyer than somebody who makes more income in a month than most of us in a lifetime?

 

Not true. Capital Gains is indeed, income. Under the IRS tax code, it is taxed a different amount than income. I think the fact that they are taxed differently is what is confusing to you. Then again, you might just be trying to drop some jaws.

If you are paid $10/hour you are generating income. I don't know how you could possibly imagine it any other way.

"Joe Schmo" or more accurately, Wesley Snipes, was sentenced for violating IRS codes. He was not sentenced for failing to pay income taxes. Same with Mr. Schiff.

 

They are not losing for the reasons of failing to pay taxes. They tend to win those cases. What happens is it turns out that 25lb. book the IRS loves is something that pins most of us down to lengthy prison sentences. If it was just about paying taxes, the code could be written on less than 5 pages. They get convicted on dozens of counts of violations. Everything from failing to file to filing incomplete infomation to not informing IRS agents regarding changes of address, ect.

 

So it is like saying that I do not need to count the calories that I eat (income), if I grow and prepare the food myself. Your chance to labor is at the expense of the others that provide this freedom. Are you saying that the state has no costs that should be borne by the individuals that operate within its borders? I would have a much easier time with your argument if it was about inequities in the application of the rules to everyone than this sophistry. I am; however, glad to live in a country where these ideas can be discussed openly on a site that is not controlled by the government but by the moderators who are in turn looking out for the greatest numbers of consumers of their product.

 

There are alot of people trying to repeal the 16th amendment and it is really quite annoying for them when people say that there is no income tax law. It is a law, however if you have a good attorney they can get you off the hook. The problem is that they cannot get you off the hook if you fail to file or violate another one of the 70,000 codes that none of us has time to read. Not even digging up johnny cochrane will save you when you clearly broke 600 laws.

 

Sounds like a good way to meet you next cell-mate. Your not going to find any DOT cop thats going to care that you think your civil rights are being violated, while you are clearly in violation.

You you want to test this crap, that what the Supreme Court is for. I believe there maybe some concerns for rights to privacy issues, but there again thats up to the higher powers.

 

They would refer to state's rights. Game stays the same. Log books are like seatbelts. The Feds can't tell you to do it, but your State sure can. Same with scale checkpoints themselves. If it came down to Federal Law, it is unconstitutional for scalehouses to exist with the intent of stopping drivers at random and searching their vehicles. At the state level, this has been challenged for the general public in the case of DUI checkpoints, but has no bearing with commercial vehicles.

Have your papers handy, Ancient..or the Nazi machine will get you in your sleep.
