I rarely read WorldNetDaily but did read the whole article this time. We do each require maintenance, at costs, in order to produce labor, but that maintenance would consist of certain necessities—not luxuries. “Reasonable,” you know.
The article states that a court decided that exchanging ones labor for money did not meat the definition of "income." It's what the person based his case on. Be it far better for a court to decide than I. ;-)
Personally, I enjoy spending more time enjoying life, even if frugally, than trying to win some rat race where the odds are stacked against you, and vultures are poised to attack.
But that's just me...
If “reasonable” means one thing for me, then it shouldn’t mean something different for anyone else or any other entity: business, corporation, government, foundation, etc.
Why black limos when they could use Kia minivans?
Better than all of this garbage about who gets to deduct what, why not just have a sales tax and be done with the income tax?
