fine, argue for lower taxes. elect people to enact them.

but obey the law once its in place, and people shouldn't complain that the IRS is coming after them if they don't, while millions of other Americans are working just as hard as your friend and paying honestly.

He pays his taxes, he doesn't owe a penny. The IRS makes darn sure of it too. How would you like them to call you on the phone every quarter with your bank on the other line and transfer your funds then and there?

You would RESENT it. You would resent having to go through reams of paper work to open a new account because you are going to start the account with too much money in it to pass without being questioned, up front and personal, by the IRS about where the money is coming from and what it is going to. You would RESENT it.

You would resent having to explain every check over ten grand or every deposit over ten grand, even the employee making the deposit for you has to be investigated by the IRS even though they may make only 30 grand a year. The IRS wants to know who they are so they have to file paperwork, I know, I have had to do that.

You would resent even more, being asked if your doing the right thing with your own money, like, "do you really need to redecorate?" Mexico or Europe would begin to look pretty good to you also.

"...people shouldn't complain that the IRS is coming after them if they don't, while millions of other Americans are working just as hard as your friend and paying honestly...."

Years ago, I worked part time for H&R Block so that I could take their advanced tax classes.

In one class, I made the statement, "The IRS is a little dishonest."

"They are a lot dishonest," replied the female instructer, who was an Enrolled Agent (qualified to appear before IRS), with 20 years experience in the tax business.

We used to call the USSR, "A bunch of thugs, running a tax scheme."

Now that I'm older and wiser and a whole lot more cynical, I can say that about the USSA! Especially since I live in CA, where Governor Davis recently admitted that our tax scheme was overloaded toward the highest earners!!!

You won't even tolerate griping about having half of one's income confiscated! What's the matter with griping? That's not tax evasion! Theft is upsetting!!! Especially when they turn right around and use that money against you!
