Look, we all pay taxes. There is a difference between taxes and the income tax. That distinction is not made most of the time. Sales tax, Gasoline tax, Communications tax, Luxury tax, etc, we all pay far enough taxes to run the federal and state governments. What is the problem with questioning authority? I pay plenty enough tax, without having to pay taxes that I am not supposed to.

I just sent the IRS a letter saying that I do not have to pay the income tax, based on the fact that my IMF code is MFR-01, which I found out through the FOIA. Instead of rippin' me a new one, they agreed with me. I pay taxes. I just don't think I should pay a tax that I'm not liable for.

I just don't think I should pay a tax that I'm not in your highly distorted selfish thinking liable for.

Tell it to Corporal Tillman.

What's it all mean? IMF...?

Impossible Missions Force -- Those cool spies from that late 60's early 70's TV show?

Or how about International Monetary Fund? Those questionable money-crats that make equally questionable loans?

Not quite. We're talking about the IRS Master File argument. The so-called IRS "code busters" have a great line of green cheese for sale. The problem is that it is green cheese and it won't work. They claim that computer codes on your IMF show that people don't have to pay tax. The problem is that computer codes, no matter what they stand for, are not the law. The law is made by the courts of appeals and there are no courts of appeals cases that take the position these scammers take.

The IMF code theories were litigated back in the 1980s. I was one of the original individuals that raised many of these issues in court. They don't work. For example, I saw individuals convicted of tax evasion even though the IRS witness testified that the MFR-01 on the Individual Master File meant the defendant didn't have to file returns.

These "code buster guys are great talkers, but their legal arguments do not work. Don't believe them!. You might as well follow my Green Cheese defense!.
