I hope the schlub sues the govt for equal protection under the law since Rangel and all those other libtard faggots dont get handcuffed when they dont pay their taxes.

Nah ... he’s upfront about it. 0bama’s libturd appointees tried to hide their tax evasions.

"Occasionally, a grand jury may also choose to investigate on its own, but "you can't just show up on Friday morning of grand jury day and push your way into the room and present a case to them," she said."

And why not??? Grand juries do not belong to the DA's office.

"They are forcing me to operate as an uncompensated tax collector,"

This is an interesting point. If his time is worth anything the government is prohibited from commandeering it under the takings provision of the 5th Amendment.

"He has the right to file a criminal charge with any law enforcement agency that will take the case, but the only way cases get to grand jury from this office is that I choose to send them to grand jury," LoStracco said.

i believe this would be incorrect. law is law and no one can choose which people are allowed access to due recourse.

i think the fact that he was released (no bond?) when he offered no plea was interesting.

Craig's threats of litigation and criminal charges during the arrest did not phase him.

Zapped by the spell checker? Or dumbass writer? See, instead of "phase," Faze.

Anybody remember what happened to the Church a few years ago that refused to collect Social Security for the gov.? Weren’t they claiming that to do so made them an “agent” ie tax collector for the government?

Tell that to the summons for Jury Duty. And don't give me the "it's a duty" thing, aside from the defendant and the jury, everyone in that court room is getting paid.

He should become a registered Rat and send his resume to Zer0.

They are still looking for asst Treasury Secretaries. He would fit right in with Gethner and most of the rats in Congress.

“They are forcing me to operate as an uncompensated tax collector,”

I have to say that I can understand the frustration - every month I have to file and pay sales taxes, every quarter I file and pay payroll taxes, every quarter I file personal estimated income taxes, every year I file personal and corporate taxes - I’m sure I left something out, but the point is that I have to pay someone to comply with the City, State & federal obligations - that will make most anyone go nuts after awhile!

Now whatever is left over the Messiah would like to conficate and “spread around”

I don’t know the law. Who has to pay sales tax? Is it the buyer or the seller? I know that in NYS when I buy a used car, I have to go to the DMV and pay sales tax before I can register it. So he may have a point.

That would apply to every business owner who collects and remits payroll taxes on behalf of it’s employees.

I’ve always said I think the government should collect its own taxes, not get business owners to do it for them.

Small businesses are especially disadvanteged. They have to spend a lot of time figuring out the FICA codes or pay an accountant to do their payroll for them.

Why not just pay the employee and let the employee pay their own taxes and SS payments, etc.? This would save business owners millions of dollars that they could put into higher salaries or reinvest in their businesses.
