The attorney representing the Memphis pilot is from Milwaukee and maintains a practice here.

A classic example that the media is neither 'conservative' or 'liberal' biased but it is 'statist' biased-- thanks for the find.

This is hardly a sober, authoritative source.

By the author's logic, the jury which returned a not guilty verdict in the O. J. Simpson murder case intended to signal that murder should be legal.

A Google News Search on "Kuglin" came up with two other postings:

I think it's time for everyone reading this to send a very polite letter to the IRS, telling them they read about the case in Memphis, and is it true that there is no section in the U.S. Tax Code that requires an individual citizen to pay federal income taxes?

Change the "is it" to "it is" and change the "?" at the end to a ".". To ask the IRS if what the jury/court already decided is true is just dumb. This is a fight. Someone just won. You don't ask the loser if the winner won. He's likely to lie or otherwise try to subtract from the victory of the winner.

Guess this 'lady' thinks she is better than the rest of us... who have to pay her share. Hope she doesn't drive on the roads that she didn't help to pay for. Pure lunacy.

Things like this are why I think jury trials are a much better avenue for change than elections.

Doesn't matter who passes the laws, doesn't even matter if the prosecutor is right on the law, if juries refuse to convict.

[wjcsux]

This is why they have "tax courts" to try IRS cases.

Bump for later.

Good for Vernice..............I think. Are we now going to have to have a special session of Congress to pass a retro active tax package? God help us!

[tang-soo]

I imagine this came from the definition of the two words "income" and "wages". Somehow over the years, these two words have been redefined to mean the same thing. In reality, wages are a means of exchanging hours of labor for goods. Income is the difference a business has between revenue and expenses. The later supposedly is taxable while the first case is not.

BTTT

[RGSpincich]

He was clearly unable to produce a single section of the Tax Code to that end, and the jury was unanimous in clearing Kuglin of all charges against her. If the foregoing was not so, Kuglin would have been convicted.

The author assumes the lady was acquitted because she was not convicted. Wrong, there could very well be a hung jury here. The court docs on the PACER site have not been posted yet.

I heard it this morning on that awful Doug Steffen (sp) radio program

Oops disregard previous post.
