You say "as long as taxes are owed...."
First, you must determine whether or not you REALLY do owe taxes... or if the IRS is trying to CHEAT YOU
What I am talking about is not cheating the IRS, but stopping the IRS from cheating you. People working for a living who are not taking part in privileged activity do not owe tax on the "money" they earn in exchange for their labor. Nowhere in the Internal Revenue Code does it say that such "tax" exists. By signing a W-4, using your SSN as a tax identification number, you give the IRS jurisdiction to tax your income by volunteering yourself as a corporate entity. Your labor is not a taxable commodity otherwise. It is not a material commodity. It is not (usually) one of the 32 privileged taxable excises (privileged meaning something not necessary for normal living). Everything I say here has been and IS backed up by the US Supreme Court. The IRS is NOT, I say NOT, the government. It is an agency foreign to the United States of America. It was established in 1913 as a collection agency used BY and FOR the government. Its purpose was to collect lawful taxes on excised activity and to temporarily borrow money to help fund WWI. Since then, it has been unlawfully abused by the government and has been very successful at wrongfully taking money from people who are either not aware of or are not willing to exercise their rights guaranteed under law. I am not saying that the tax system should not be used, and I'm not saying it is wrong. But it certainly is unlawfully abused.
I have an example. The IRS was really putting the boots to a man I know. He decided to fight back (yeah, you really can, and you dont' HAVE TO believe everything sent to you by mail). He researched for 12 years on the topic and has become very well taught. Under the Freedom of Information Act, he demanded a copy of his Master Files. The IRS cannot lawfully tax a person on their income unless they take part in corporate or privileged activity (I know I'm redundant on that, but it is important). So in order to tax him, they had to place him in one of these taxable categories. His Master File Non-Specific said that he is an offshore oil driller (working outside the country, importing product... privileged activity). His Master File Specific said that he was importing regulated substances from Columbia. In reality, he was neither, but was placed in such categories to make his income taxable. When it came time for the IRS to take what they thought they could do, he refused and requested a proof of claim SIGNED by the commissioner of the IRS. They WOULD NOT and COULD NOT produce such proof. When they threatened using his "importing drugs" as a way for criminal matter, he urged them to do so. Once again, they could not provide any proof of such. Not only did he not have to pay the money they wrongfully wanted in the first place, but he has not paid a penny of FEDERAL income tax since. If and when his children went to school, he paid school tax. When he bought commodities, he paid sales tax. He pays taxes for the land on which he lives (also not a lawful tax, but he has no problem funding the workers who maintain the city).
People ARE prosecuted for such all the time. Those who do not know thier rights, they DO get serious punishment for it. Those who DO know their rights, and how to exercise them, they make an example of the distortion of the tax system.
I personally will pay taxes for the time being, for a while, and possibly throughout my life. I have benefited much from some of the programs that are funded through unlawful tax (which are supposed to be funded otherwise, in much more efficient manners, but are not, therefore my willingness). I am a man of fairness. If I use something, I don't oppose contributing to it. Though there still are many ways that federal agencies abuse naive Americans. I will soon be making my way away from such abuse. It is my patriotic duty to protect my rights, and to exhibit just that to as many people as possible. Within a couple years (not using my real name, I never do online), SNITTY (Inc.) will no longer exist. Snitty (sovereign human) will be only a citizen of one of the States of the Union of America, and will no longer be a corporate entity of United States of America Inc.
Lets say your name is John J. Doe (Legal and Lawful proper name has lower and upper case letters). You will get letters from the IRS addressed to JOHN J. DOE, representing the strawman of the corporate entity that John J. Doe is expected to represent. I'm not making this up, and its not a crock of snot. Contact me personally if you wish to discuss the proper name issue in more detail.
I urge everyone here to check out their Master File. I'd like to get some feedback on some of the interesting cagetories we're all in. It does require going through a bit of trouble to get a hold of, but it is well worth seeing, and for many reasons, not just that.
To end tonight's endless post... Junkpile, I agree that many people who try to go through with avoiding taxation end up being sorry for it. But the main reason for that is because of the 99+% of the rest of the people who are unaware of what is going on, and simply follow the puppet strings. There are many many many many more people who have successfully claimed sovereignty (even from the IRS) than what anyone here may think. You, and probably many here, now may think I'm nuts after what I've just said here. But I urge you to look into it. Even if you don't believe it, or think it is wrong, it is a VERY interesting topic to read up on.
Now I'll go find some Icy-Hot for my fingers
