Quote by: Muckraker  I see you chopped off the last quote about how Elaine Brown's dental offices garnered the Browns $2million that they paid no taxes, state or federal, on.
Did you know that Elaine Brown also happily accepted and cashed her Social Security checks? Doesn't that shed light on the fact that these two were just greedy pigs instead of noble tax protesters? |
Correct, I'm ignorant of all of the details surrounding this case.

Quote by: Muckraker People choose to live in this country. If they want the benefits of living in this country then they follow the established rules and obey the established authorities. If they disagree with such fundamental practices as paying a portion of income to support the country or stopping when armed government employees shout for you to freeze then they can choose to either live in another country or get sued and/or tasered. |
Well, first the "established rules", and the "established authoriteis" have to be proven to be operating withing the bounds of the constitution. If not, they are not legitimate authorities, or rules, and need not be followed by citizens.
Being as the constitutionality of the laws are what's being questioned in this case, my sympathies lie with those who are "innocent until proven guilty", and not the hired thugs with license to kill.

Quote by: Muckraker You should read more about the Browns before championing their "plight." They are no different than Snipes. They are parasites that used the practices, policies, and people of the United States to get rich and then claim they owe absolutely nothing in return. If they really believed that tripe they should have made the claims BEFORE they got rich and moved to some other country that more closely matched their utopian vision of statesmanship. |
Had you been paying attention, I was not championing their cause, but commenting on the tactics, and protocols of law enforcement.

Quote by: Muckraker A true tax protester will not get rich off the American people, take Social Security checks, and live beyond their normal means on the money that would have gone to taxes. A true tax protester lives in poverty and only works menial jobs even though they may have the ability to make a lot more money. A true tax protester ensures they won't make enough money to have to pay taxes on as that is the only legal, nonviolent, way to not pay taxes. |
Well, see there, you have just described me.

Well, perhaps you can be converted to a rational, logical human being, and can drop the Liberal propaganda, and the electroshock attack therepy advocacy.
