This isn't going to make the "Fat Pink White Boy's" of the tax industry, both public and private, happy. The bureaucracy of government and private accounting professionals make a good living off this parasitical revenue system. Also, they have friends in high places and will not go away without a fight.

When asked if she planned to start paying federal income taxes again, Kuglin replied: "I will pay all the taxes for which I am liable."

That's the perfect answer - the IRS, when asked, can't seem to point to any section of the law or regulations that makes the average American liable to pay income tax.

It is very interesting.

The government wants you to believe that you are liable for taxes, however there is no law that spells this out.

That is why the IRS always refers to the tax system as voluntary.

If you don't volunteer, you can not be prosecuted for lying or anything else.

I have read the story of a fellow in Denver who simply started his argument with the IRS by asking to be excused from his right not to self incriminate by signing the 1040. It is the signing of the 1040 and your attendant assertion that causes all the grief.

Because you can not be compelled to self incriminate, the system must be voluntary in order to work. This gal has opted out in the eyes of a jury. I wonder what they will try to hang her with next?

The fellow in Denver was ultimately excused from paying taxes after a lengthy number of court sessions where he simply questioned, successfully, his right not to self incriminate by signing the 1040. A federal judge here in Denver said he would not rule on the viability of the tax code and told the defendant so in court.

I am not advocating anyone do this and I don't have the time or money to do anything but volunteer. But I sure like to see a case like this once in a while.

This is the Sixth District (6th District). I wonder if it can be used as case law precedent in other districts besides the 6th.
