Trial Logs

Our government's ability to incarcerate innocent people is evidenced by the number of those being exonerated, most often through DNA evidence. These wrongful convictions evidence our judicial system's failure. Trial Logs is currently covering the government's prosecution of those who question the application of the income tax laws. It is our hope that this coverage will help us understand the failings of our justice system and help those struggling to comprehend this nation's income tax laws.

Irwin Schiff Trial Coverage by Freedom Law School (Segment 4 of 4)

<< Home

108 Old Comments:

FLASH NEWS!
JUDGE KENT J. DAWSON JUST WROTE THE LAW COMPELING THE FILING AND PAYING OF THE INCOME TAX!
See it here for the first time.
At the beginning of the Erwin Schiff trial Judge Dawson and his assistants, the prosecution team, had a major problem. The illegal search of Mr. Schiff’s offices had revealed the fact that Mr. Schiff could prove neither Nevada Senator John Ensign, Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye, the Library of Congress, the Secretary of the Treasury nor over 300 IRS agents could find a law that required resident citizens of the United States to file or pay income tax.
But that wasn’t Judgie Poo Dawson’s only problem. He was also aware that more and more of the citizens that had been illegally prosecuted for tax crimes were being found not guilty because of that silly little quirk in the law that there is no law. Being a quick study Judgie Poo must have realized if this keeps up no one will pay the income tax. Then, it’s reasonable to believe his first thoughts were, “Heavens to Betsy that will mean the government will get rid of its inferior federal judges! No more houty touty country club! No more bowing and scraping to me! No more extra curricular activities in Pahrump’s Chicken Ranch! And, and, God Forbid, I’ll have to find a real job!”
However, you just can’t keep a good man down. So Judge Dawson decided to interpret the tax code as being the world’s largest word anagram dictionary. Therefore, in Judge Dawson’s brave new world if there are words, contained anywhere in the tax code, that one could use to construct a law requiring the citizens to file and pay taxes on their income from wages, then the citizen is required by law to pull those individual words out and put them together in a somewhat cohesive sentence which spells out such a law. Then, that becomes the law they are to obey because the individual words did come from the tax code. Now I know Mr. Schiff has seen it all, but I’ll bet even Mr. Schiff would admit Judge Dawson’s criminal and cunning misuse of the tax code in this manner is creative and unique.
However, apparently during this trial Judge Dawson decided the jury was incapable of word anagram construction. So, being ever diligent in his proven partisan pro prosecution quest for injustice, during one of his illegal exparte meetings with the prosecution (one of which is Mormon, as is Judge Dawson) he constructed the law which compels the payment of income tax. Unfortunately some of the words Judge Dawson wanted to use were not in the tax code so he declared, because his is a life time appointment, he can do anything he wants to. So, in addition to section 1 of the tax code he included the writings of the Prophet Joseph Smith on Polygamy and the entire works of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales in his source material.
Even though I fear being sanctioned with jail time for revealing the new law prior to judge Dawson springing it on the jury and Irwin, as a patriot I am compelled to do so.
Therefore I present to you the new and improved law requiring the filing and paying of income tax as authored by his most honorable Justice Kent J. Dawson
PREAMBLE
When in the course of inhuman events it becomes evident the government’s group of hit-men known as the IRS ass is on the line it is incumbent on all federal judges to come to the rescue. Therefore, I, the most Holy and respected Federal Judge Kent Dawson have on this day of our Lord came down from Mount Charleston (just north of Las Vegas) with the law, written in Crayon, on the back my W-4 exemption form, by the hand of an anonymous stranger who resembled Charlton Heston complete with long flowing white hair who was given immunity from prosecution by the federal prosecutor.
IRS Tax Code Number 0
All money or valuables in excess of $6,000.00 earned annually by anyone, including butchers, bakers, candlestick makers and ugly hookers, residing in the United States are subject to income tax and must be reported on a 1040 form and paid to the IRS within twenty four hours of receipt of such money or valuables. This law expressly includes people named Irwin Schiff, Cindy Neun, Larry Cohen and everyone they know.
Evidence of the violation of this law includes the placing of funds in any financial institution which IRS agents cannot intimidate into giving said funds to them.
The penalty for failure to adhere to this law is to be sprayed with mace and immediate incarceration in a dark, damp dungeon with no benefit of trial and the confiscation of all property the IRS decides it wants which includes any expensive golf clubs monogrammed with K.D.
However, this law does not include Halliburton or any major oil company or its higher echelon personnel, anyone friendly with President Bush or anyone in his administration or any person making in excess of $200.000.00 who has a lawyer to degrease the skids of justice or take advantage of all the loopholes provided for the preferred class of people.

Exempt Gifts
All gifts of money, land, *stocks and bonds or vacations to government officials i.e. Congressmen, Senators, Members of City Councils, IRS agents, Federal Judges and Prosecutors ECT.
* This includes stock split tips or the profit on inside information given to the cronies of all of the above on where new highways will be built.
Non-exempt Gifts
All rent, electric and phone bills paid by a boy/girl friend unless proof of the relationship is provided in the form of a semi monthly video tape of explicit sexual activity between them is given to all the male IRS agents, the male federal prosecutors and all judges regardless of gender.

All deadbeats that are not required to file or pay income tax must fall into one of the following groups.

1. Any little old lady who lives in a shoe and is straddled with a bunch of brats.
2. Anyone who’s diet consists entirely of Curds and Whey and lives on the *streets out of sight of respectable people. *Authors note > more specifically not living in tent city which Judge Dawson has previously ruled was a stinky blight on society and repugnant to society.
3. All people who know where the skeletons are hidden that would cause problems for high placed people, such as federal judges.
4. Those IRS agents (30 percent) who know where their fellow agents and superiors skeletons are hidden and already do not file or pay income tax.
5. Any employee of the Chicken Ranch in Pahrump.
6. Any old woman named Hubbard that is too poor to buy a bone for her dog unless such dog is not flea ridden and is a pure bred which an IRS agent’s child would like.
7. Any person who feeds a mob with one loaf of unleavened bread and rises from his grave after being nailed to a cross. (***However, this exemption from income tax is subject to Judge Dawson and the prosecution team being forgiven for all the illegal crap they are doing to Erwin Schiff et all.)
*All laws preventing exparte communications between judges and prosecutors are hereby stricken from all federal codes.
**All persons observing or telling others about observing the ending of an exparte meeting between Judge Dawson and the federal prosecutors of Irwin Schiff et all shall be sanctioned with 5 days in jail. If Irwin Schiff complains, in open court, about such a meeting he shall have his time in jail doubled and redoubled.
*** If the demand for forgiveness by J.C. mentioned in number 7 is ruled to be overreaching then the prosecution team should go straight to hell but the obviously innocent, of any favoritism or criminal malfeasance during this trial, Judge Kent J. Dawson must be forgiven.

The Constitution does not require the use of the word "liable".

Tax protesters claim that, before anyone can be liable for a tax, there must be a statute that specifically says that the person is liable for the tax (and must use the word "liable"). However, that is not what the law requires.

In its various subsections, section 1 of the Internal Revenue Code says that "There is hereby imposed on the taxable income of every [married individual, surviving spouse, head of a household, unmarried individual, or married individual filing a separate return] a tax determined in accordance with the following table.. .."

As explained in the regulations:

"Section 1 of the Code imposes an income tax on the income of every individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States ...." Treas. Reg. § 1.1-1(a)(1).
The word "impose" means "to establish or apply as compulsory; levy." So how can a tax be "imposed" if no one is compelled to pay it? The answer is that it can't. If a tax is imposed on a person's income, then that person is liable for the tax as a matter of law.

In a bankruptcy dispute over the allowance of interest on upaid taxes as a claim against the estate of the bankrupt, the Supreme Court stated the self-evident proposition that "The imposition of a tax is certainly a function of government and creates an obligation...." U.S. v. Childs, 266 U.S. 304 (1924).

Also, section 6151 directs that any person required to file a return "shall, without assessment or notice and demand from the Secretary, pay such tax to the internal revenue officer with whom the return is filed, and shall pay such tax at the time and place fixed for filing the return." The Supreme Court has held that the United States may enforce a stamp tax through a suit to collect the amount of the tax from the person required to pay the tax, even though the statute did not impose any personal liability for the tax, stating: "When a statute says that a person shall pay a given tax, it obviously imposes upon that person the duty to pay..." U.S. v. Chamberlin, 219 US 250 (1910).

As explained below, the obligation to file a return is established by section 6012. A person having more than a stated minimum of income is required to file a return and, according to section 6151, is required to pay the tax shown on the return.

So what have the courts said about the claim that there is no one liable for the tax imposed on their incomes?

"The payment of income taxes is not optional ... and the average citizen knows that payment of income taxes is legally required." Schiff v. United States, 919 F.2d 830, 834 (2nd Cir. 1990).
"Purportedly in support of his claim, plaintiff submitted a statement along with the Form 1040, in which he argues that no provision of the IRC establishes an income tax 'liability.' The plain language of the IRC, however, belies this assertion, stating in section 1 that a tax is 'hereby IMPOSED on the taxable income of every individual' (emphasis added). Although plaintiff attempts to distinguish between 'imposing' a tax and creating a 'liability' for a tax, there is no difference. Every individual has an affirmative duty to pay taxes. Gabelman v. Commissioner, 86 F.3d 609, 611 (6th Cir. 1996)." Porcaro v. United States, 84 AFTR2d Par. 99-5547, No. 99-CV-60406-AA (U.S.D.C. E.D. Mich. October 25, 1999).
"Sasscer makes the puzzling argument that section 1461 is the only provision in the Internal Revenue Code that imposes liability for payment of a tax on 'income.' Without belaboring the issue, the Court notes that 26 U.S.C. section 1 could hardly be more clear in imposing a tax on 'income.' See generally United States v. Melton, 86 F.3d 1153, 1996 WL 271468 *2-3 (4th Cir. May 22, 1996) (unpublished opinion)." United States v. Sasscer, 86 AFTR2d Par. 2000-5317, n. 3, No. Y-97-3026 (D.C. Md. 9/25/2000).
"Plaintiff's arguments are no less frivolous here. [Footnote omitted.] First, Plaintiff argues the Code does not impose a tax "liability". The plain language of the Code belies this, stating the tax is "imposed". See 96 [sic] U.S.C. section 1. He attempts to distinguish between "imposing" a tax and creating a "liability" for tax. The Court fails to see a difference. Individuals have an affirmative duty to pay taxes. Gabelman v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 86 F.3d 609, 611 (6th Cir. 1996)." Tornichio v. United States, 81 AFTR2D PAR. 98-582, KTC 1998-71 (N.D.Ohio 1998), (suit for refund of frivolous return penalties dismissed and sanctions imposed for filing a frivolous refund suit), aff'd 1999 U.S. App. LEXIS 5248, 99-1 U.S. Tax Cas. (CCH) Par. 50,394, 83 AFTR2d Par. 99-579, KTC 1999-147 (6th Cir. 1999), (with sanctions imposed for filing a frivolous appeal).
See also, United States v. Moore, 692 F.2d 95 (10th Cir. 1979);
United States v. Slater, 545 F.Supp. 179 (Del. 1982).
"As the cited cases, as well as many others, have made abundantly clear, the following arguments alluded to by the Lonsdales are completely lacking in legal merit and patently frivolous: ... (7) no statutory authority exists for imposing an income tax on individuals...." Lonsdale v. United States, 919 F.2d 1440, 1448 (10th Cir. 1990).
An attorney named Thomas J. Carley argued before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that "[n]owhere in any of the Statutes of the United States is there any section of law making any individual liable to pay a tax or excise on 'taxable income.'" The Second Circuit responded that "Section 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (26 U.S.C.) (hereinafter the Code) provides in plain, clear and precise language that '[t]here is hereby imposed the taxable income of every individual ... a tax determined in accordance with' tables set-out later in the statute. ... Despite the appellant's attempted contorted construction of the statutory scheme, we find that it coherently and forthrightly imposed upon the appellant tax upon his income for the year 1980." Ficalora v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 751 F.2d 85, 88 (2d Cir. 1984), cert. den. 105 S.Ct. 1869 (1985).

Oddly enough, the same attorney raised nearly the identical argument before the Eighth Circuit, arguing that there was "no law imposing an income tax" on his clients. The Eighth Circuit held that the appeal was "frivolous" and imposed a penalty on the appellants of double the Commissioner's costs of the appeal. Lively v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 705 F.2d 1017, 1018 (8th Cir. 1983).

Even more incredibly, only a year after losing the Lively appeal, and six month after losing the Ficalora appeal, the same attorney, Thomas J. Carley, raises the same idiot issue with the 10th Circuit, questioning "Whether there is any law or statute imposing an income tax on appellants for the year 1977 and, if such a law or statute is claimed to exist, what is the precise citation of such law or statute?" The 10th Circuit quoted from both the Ficalora and Lively opinions, and then spent the rest of the opinion explaining why it was going to impose sanctions on Mr. Carley personally (not his clients). "It is obvious that despite having full knowledge of the learned opinions of two different Article III courts and the accurate reasoning of the Tax Court in Manley [v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 46 T.C.M. 1359 (1983), another case lost by Mr. Carley)] concerning his arguments, Carley has failed to learn that he has no right to occupy the time of such courts with frivolous, unreasonable and vexatious proceedings, and that if he does so, he exposes not only his clients but also himself personally to sanctions." Charczuk v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 771 F.2d 471, 474 (10th Cir. 1985). The court also referred to Mr. Carley's arguments as "meritless," "preposterous," "nearly silly," and "that thoroughly defy common sense."

If Irwin has been sanctioned 15 times he already has 47 years. Let’s see this baboon impose this jail time.
It would be helpful if someone could draft a nice letter as to the behavior of Dawson that we can copy and send to our congressman.

Show where the Constitution requires the use of the word "liable". You can't, of course.

The tax is imposed in 26 USC sec. 1. Despite the militia nuts and window washers who constitute the TP movement, nobody else has trouble finding it.

10/12/2005 11:34 PM

Very Good, now are YOU, the above, Liable to pay MY TAX? Are you LIABLE to pay a booze tax if you don't make it? ARE you Liable to pay the donkey riding tax, if there is one?

SEE, There has to first be a tax to pay, (the donkey example) The you have to be engaged in the business that has effectively connected income from that trade or business (the booze tax) and then you have to be the one Liable to pay that tax, (pay my tax example).

Without the above, who pays what tax upon what activity for income is not the subject of the tax it is only the subject of the sentence. The taxable activity is the subject of the tax. AND Congress cannot define "income" only the courts can and it is not what YOU THINK but what the courts have ruled and not overturned.

I know it is hard...but ponder and you WILL understand, hopefully when it isn't too late. CJ

More Proof -

Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes the tax on undefined "individuals". (UNDEFINED MEANS IT IS NOT DETERMINED, NOT NAMED)
Chapter 79 (ANOTHER SECTION) states that an "individual" is a nonresident alien if such individual is neither a citizen of the United States** nor a resident of the United States**.

Of course many will get this backward but even not understood IT SHOULD RASIE A QUESTION IN THE MINDS OF OUR COMMUNIST DEFECTERS?

If taxing our wages and salaries is legal. Why doesn’t the government write a law that simply says? The government has the right to collect taxes from salary and wages. Why the cloak and dagger stuff. The law is supposed to be simple so someone with an IQ of 70 can understand. It is obvious to any moron out there that the reason for the cloak and dagger stuff is because the constitution protects us from having to pay taxes on our salary or wages. NOW ONE MORE TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT IDIOTS.

[Deserved a re-read don't you think?]

Answer IF you will, for my poorly educated non legal scholar mind PlEASE I BEG OF YOU.
1. Can you pay MY tax?
2. Are you liable to pay MY tax?
3. Can you receive my refund though you were not LIABLE to pay my tax?
4. The Constitution doesn't mention Constructive Trust, does that mean it doesn't exist?
5. Are you MADE LIABLE to pay the booze tax? IF your answer is no, then why are you not liable? Might you need to be made LIABLE for that tax? How are then made liable and/or why then is there NO NEED to be made Liable?

Are you There Yet?

The famous Economy Plumbing case 470 F.2nd 585 (1972) said, in part, that you cannot pay the tax that you are not liable to pay...YOU cannot pay someone elses tax. So my weak and feeble mind has to at very least ask the questions above.
AND
Define Income as per the code?
Define Individual as per the code?

Here's some help for you...
Income is quasi defined in section USC 643(b) "...the term income when not proceeded by the words taxable, distributable net, undistributed net, or gross, means the amount of the income of the estate or trust..." hmmm income means income of the estate or trust.

AND

"individual" is located in section 79.

Now please educate me and other so we may be as mentally well as you!

To those who cite Section 1 and say that the IRS Code doesn't need to establish liability because the constitution doesn't require it, let me say this.

The section that you cite, Section 1, is under Subchapter A which is entitled, "Determination of Tax Liability". So in the IRS Code itself, there is a complete Subchapter regarding the "Determination of Tax Liability" with regards to income tax. But ironically, no part of that subchapter ever defines who is liable!

Now I know some of you will say, "Well see, that just means that since the tax is imposed under that subchapter that it is as good as defining liability. It's the same thing like the courts have said."

Okay, now take that logic one step further. If imposing a tax is just as good as defining liability, then why don't you pay wagering and alcohol taxes? Those taxes are imposed too, aren't they? If you can't explain why you haven't paid, then you are evading taxes. Please explain why you don't follow your own logic.

Some observations:

What power does Judge Dawson have to tell Irwin he is not to dscuss this case on the blogs? Don't get me wrong, I don't think it would be good fro Irwin to do so. But on what grounds does Judge Dawson make that order. Irwin has been convicted on nothing in tis case.

To the tax loving freedom haters who post on these blogs, go take a course in 2nd grade logic and learn that the following are invalid, unsound, and stupid methods of argument (though they do have persuasive force upon others who are as mentally challenged as those who use them):

(1) Appeal to authority [judges and accredited legal scholars].

(2) Name calling.

(3) Injecting irrelvancies such as "Irwin's two prior felony convictions, as well as given a copy of Cindy's 90+ page palimony complaint where she complains about being raped and other things".

An Open letter:
INCOME IS NOT THE SUBJECT MATTTER OF THE TAX!

Why hasn’t the non-koolaid drinking, name calling, Buckner, Reasonable Guy, type crowd disputed or answered, any fact or evidence, regarding my post of long ago with regard to the above title?

HERE IT IS AGAIN IN CASE YOU MISSED IT! NOW DISPUTE IT WITH FACTS AND EVIDENCE OR SIMPLY CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT YOU WERE ONCE PICKED ON IN GRADE SCHOOL AND HAVE EMOTIONAL ISSUES WITH LIFE, SEX AND YOUR MOTHER…there I hope I got your IRE up so you will answer.

-The language in 26 USC 1 states, “There is hereby imposed on the taxable income of every married individual, every head of household, etc…”
Taxable income is the subject matter of the above sentence, but it IS NOT and can NOT be the subject matter of 26 USC 1 taxation, since INCOME is only the MEASURE of the tax, and NOT the subject matter of the tax and income cannot include inalienable rights excluded by law from taxation.
- Individual is NOT and cannot be the subject matter of 26USC1 taxation on taxable income since capitation taxes are direct taxes and subject to the rule of apportionment.
- Property, real or personal, in NOT and can NOT be the subject matter of 26USC1 taxation since property taxes are direct taxes and subject to the rule of apportionment.
- The common business callings of life, the property which every man has is own labor is NOT and can NOT be the subject matter of taxation since eh inalienable rights of contract, our labor being our property, and the fruits thereof our property are excluded by law from being tax and would also be subject to apportionment or capitation.

No section of the Code IMPOSES a tax on everyday normal activities.

The Supreme Court, not a US DISTRICT COURT, has ruled in a minimum of 15 decisions that the word income as set forth in all of the income tax acts of congress, has the same definition or meaning that was given IT in the corporation Excise Tax Act of 1909.

Subject matter can confuse one so let’s see what the Congressional Research Service said, ya know the Very CRS the prosecution used…
The 1980 CRS report made the following statement concerning the nature of the income tax:
“Therefore, it can be clearly determined from the decisions of the United States Supreme Court that the income tax is an indirect tax, generally in the nature of an excise tax.”
In 1989, the y revised and updated their report:
What does the court mean when it states that
the income tax is in the nature of an excise tax?
“An excise tax is a tax levied on the manufacture, sale, or consumption of a commodity or any various taxes on privileges often assessed in the form of a license or fee. In other words, it is a tax on doing something to property or on the privilege of holding some property or doing some act, not a tax on the property itself. The tax is not on the property directly, but rather it is a tax on the transaction.”
“When a court refers to an income tax as being in the nature of an excise, it is merely stating that the tax is not on the property itself.”
So now we ALL KNOW and MUST AGREE that the federal income tax is not a tax on income right? Finally we have agreement amongst all who read these blogs! Who can dispute the CRS, for that would ruin the prosecution and who can dispute the CRS for it would render Irwin wrong. OUR AGREEMENT - It is a privilege tax measured by income! Congress is taxing some government-defined privilege and income is merely the measuring stick to determine the value of the privilege. Nowhere does CRS identify the so-called privilege that is the basis for the income tax.
Now that we agree that income tax is an excise or privilege tax, then what’s the privilege? This “privilege” must be one of the most closely guarded secrets in American history. Neither the Internal Revenue Service nor members of Congress NOR THE COURT, will identify the privilege.
Let’s see what Congress said, after all they wrote it – and they clearly and concisely stated it: In 1943, an analysis of the federal income tax was published in the Congressional Record. “The income tax is, therefore, not a tax on income as such. It is an excise tax with respect to certain activities and privileges, which is measured by the income they produce. The income is not the subject of the tax: it is the basis for determining the amount of the tax.” The foretasted excerpt of information was written by a former legislative draftsman in the Treasury Department and titled, “The Income Tax is an Excise Tax, and Income is Merely the Basis for Determining its Amount.”
So there you have it. The question before you is : Name the Privilege that the individual personal 1040 income tax is upon as measured by the income produced from that privilege and do so with cite from 1. court case, 2. IRS, 3. Department of Treasury, 4. Congress!
Failure to answer will mean that those who constantly throw quips and one-liners, the Bruckner types, the Reasonable Guy types, are either incapable or do possess the issues as stated above with regard to their mother etc…

Good, Walter Carver, you know some of Schiff’s materials and others. I purchased his Freedom Package 4 ½ years ago and from that I learned more on the Internet by doing my own research. But the truth comes out when the government covers up all this and says it is irrelevant. When does a statute or Supreme Court case become irrelevant? Well, when the corrupt government says it does! Can’t you remember history and the Boston Tea Party? Maybe we will have the Irwin Schiff retirement party when Irwin gets convicted, as that may be the only thing for us to get aroused and take our own actions to Congress. That could happen as the jurors could be threatened as saying; they cannot leave until they find Schiff guilty or else they may be prosecuted themselves for assisting a known felon.

I have the experience to know that you do not have to have ANY earnings or money coming in to be liable for the ‘income’ tax and pay it. I received a letter the California Franchise Tax Board in which they said; “The courts have consistently upheld the estimation of federal income tax liabilities by the use of United States Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Consumer Price Index.” And if you did NOT work, estimate what you should be making, and pay the tax then they would. This was confirmed when I met with their representative at a hearing, and she said the same thing. How can anyone pay a tax for which they had NO earnings? That is worse than slavery, that utter ownership of you is by the government. In the past the State did not own slaves, only people owned slaves. If I lost my job making $100,000 and could not work for a few years, then I would still have to pay the tax as that is what I SHOULD be making regardless of if I had any income. So therefore you do not have to be liable to be prosecuted and convicted like Schiff could be.

Reasonable Guy has PROVEN that he is unable to name the privilege as stated in CRS that the income tax is based upon.

For your edification {Guy" there an equal number of court rulings that state issues that you say "I cling to." So since you cannot bring forth an answer, on point, as challenged, what does that say of you and your inablilibty and blindness?
FURTHERMORE
Answer the question on point and not with a question about why I do or don't do something. You don't know me. I may or may not file, traditional, zero or otherwise. That is not the game.

I cling to truth as does a vine to a trellis. What are you clinging to?

"How can the trial end today. Aren't Cindy or Larry going to put on any defense at all?"

Honest Question: What defense do they have, other than that they relied on Irwin?

It is entirely possible that the jury will find Irwin to be "delusional" and thus, perversely, qualified for the Cheek defense which would allow him to escape conviction even if he is wrong, but then hold that the Cindy's and Larry's reliance on Irwin was not reasonable under Cheek because he is crazy. Thus, Cindy and Larry could go to prison, even if Irwin himself avoided doing so.

If you think that this result would be crazy, it is not too much different than what happened in the Thompson and Banister trials, where the court ruled that Banister was privileged to help file a "protest return" and thus was acquitted, but that Thompson did not reasonably rely on Banister, and thus Thompson will be in jail through 2011.

Again, what defense did you expect Cindy and Larry to put on, keeping in mind that the judge has NOT restricted them anywhere as much in their defense as he did Irwin who is defending himself (a mistake, since he had more than enough money and time to hire a really good lawyer before trial).

Since you seem to "cling" to decided court cases...it should be easy to cite the case wherein the privilege as stated by Congress and CRS is identified.

This trial may be a sham, as Judge Dawson may have never taken his oath of office. I did some searching and found this site, but it will be up to those that have access, and even Schiff to confront Judge Dawson, to get this information. The following is the link and some of the info that was listed. Check it out for yourself.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/legality-of-income-tax-unmoderated/message/16088

Subject:
legal defects confirmed in 2 of 4 credentials required of Kent J.
Dawson, USDC/Las Vegas

Summary: DOJ has provided photocopies of all 4 credentials
required by law of Kent J. Dawson. However, 2 of those 4 credentials
are evidently witnessed by Lloyd D. George, who has failed to produce
or otherwise exhibit his APPOINTMENT AFFIDAVIT or OATH OF OFFICE,
and the Clerk of Court has refused to produce or exhibit either.

The Clerk of Court is the designated legal custodian of the
APPOINTMENT AFFIDAVIT required by 5 U.S.C. 3331. Therefore,
there are legal defects in Kent J. Dawson's APPOINTMENT AFFIDAVIT
and OATH OF OFFICE, because Lloyd D. George is still lacking
both Oaths of Office required of him.

Debating frivolous arguments in this venue is not going to change court opinion.

I suggest you take your questions to tax court where you will be educated in a more meaningful way.

Vivian, I, too, have been praying for Irwin Schiff and his trial, that Irwin would be allowed to actually present a defense because, were he to be allowed, he would win. However, for reasons known only to the ETERNAL, this has not happened. The witnesses were allowed to only testify as to character, that they thought Irwin to be a nice man. No law or any evidence of substance was allowed by the judge. We can all see the hand writing on the wall, can we not? There is NO WAY IN THIS WORLD the so called judge is going to allow the truth to be presented. You know the methods the judge has used to prevent any defense so I shall not list them again. The INSTRUCTIONS TO THE JURY WILL INSURE CONVICTION. All I can say is, I am so sorry to be an observer of the travisty of our supposedly honest court and judicial system. Why even have a trial? Just have sentencing. The trials
are nothing but an attempt to make believe there might be justice. I am sick to my stomach.

Your second point of error is to say that my "arguement" is "frivolous." This is a two part error. 1. I am not argueing anything. I am simply asking those who proclaim that anyone who has a question with regard to taxation is a "koolaide" drinking, wacko. T.P. etc... and certainly my question does not qualify as arguement. I simply stated, from what the court used in the current trial (CRS) and from Congress and asked the question and hope it forthcoming without arguement! 2. Now you have also proclaimed my QUESTION improperly termed as "arguement," as "frivolous." By what authority do you do so? Did you cite the case wherein the exact cause and nature of my question was found to be frivolous?

Again, I guess your suggestion is just to listen to judges and go home, yes? They have spoken, end of story? Your advice then to people who feel they have been wronged is to just go away?

The issue is not to change the law but how it is enforced by the courts. Tell me, would you derive some kind of pleasure from seeing Irwin convicted?

One of the federal Prosecutors made a comment on these blogs asking anyone to explain how the tax system could be improved. So here is their answer!!
The simplest system to tax all the people THAT WOULD BE CONSTITUTIONAL is a national sales tax. The reason the government does not want to do that is when a citizen went to buy a car and the tax was $12,000.00 then he would ask, "What the holy hell are you clowns spending my money on?"
Opps, no more pork projects! No more raises for Congress passed in the middle of the night. No more paying of IRS agents or Federal Prosecutors to illegally prosecute people who tell the truth. Now wouldn't it be a shame if those soulless people had to get a real job?

By The Law, at 10/13/2005 2:07 PM

A National Sales Tax sounds good to me, since (1) I would pay less tax than I do now, and (2) it will be a much harder tax for TPs to avoid, and so they will end up paying a lot more than they do now.

So power to the National Sales Tax, and thank you for supporting it, suckers!

Am I correct in understanding that your main greivance against people who challenge the IRS, is that they are trying to get out of paying taxes and leaving you behind?

Don't you understand that if Mr. Schiff wins and the laws are enforced fairly, you will benefit as well? And changes that come about would benefit all Americans, not just those bringing about the changes. Are you against fair implementation of the laws and are pro income tax?

People are trying to defend their rights and standing up for themselves but it seems like you would be happier if everybody just shut up and paid an unfair tax because you feel that you have to. Put another way, as long as everybody is unhappy with income taxes, that is okay, but you are against anybody actually trying to do something about it.

Mr. Schiff is not trying to make special laws that apply only to him but get equal, fair and just laws that apply to everybody. Why you would not want that, I don't understand.

Where does one find a drug to make one so delusional?

There's been a plan all along, it's called indirect taxes and could easily fund this government and is clearly definded in the Constitution. It is important that the American people rediscover the distinction between direct taxes and indirect taxes because the Constitution lays down different provisions regarding how each is to be lawfully levied. The Federal Government(with the help of a perfidiuos Federal judiciary)now completely disregards these constitutional distinctions and is, therefore, able to collect taxes in a blantantly illegal manner. Of course this pitiful overbloated beaurocratic government wastes so much that they actually have people believing that income tax money is needed to run the country. If we gave those idiots every dollar we make (which I'm sure they're trying to do)they still would be mismanaging it and be broke. Funny, the government can fund the rest of the world with the people's money, but they just can't seem to manage their own finances. I thought all that money we put into the War On Drugs(horrible failure and big waste of money, oh, but it does pay for a lot of government jobs)would keep delusional drugs out of the country; this is apparently not the case and makes one anything but a reasonable guy! Sheeple and blind patriotism are the biggest threat in this country today.

as for selling it to the American people - are you kidding me?

no offsetting taxes are required because the income to the government from the so-called "income tax" goes to offset the principal and interest on the bogus "national debt".

and, while I'm typing, let's just eliminate the federal reserve at the same time. why borrow back from them the same money that is printed at the federal bureau of engraving!

I'm going to make a generalized statement and say that I don't think that anybody who has challenged the IRS ever intended to get a favorable outcome that applied only to them. Just because you don't agree with their position doesn't mean they would not want all Americans to benefit from their actions.

You call them tax cheats to imply that they want something for nothing and to take something away from you. This is not like a co-worker trying to get free coffee at work but you have to pay for yours.

If that co-worker goes to the boss and makes his claim for free coffee, better working conditions or more vacation time for everybody, would you make derogatory statements about them and call them a "cheater"? If that person was unsuccessfull with his claim, would you call him names for trying?

Yet people call others "tax cheaters" and somehow don't understand that the very people they make fun of are trying to create a fair and just system that benefits everybody. I don't see why you would want to impede somebody from possibly accomplishing a good thing that you would benefit from.

So the Constitutionalist thinks people are too stupid to look at their tax returns to see how much tax they paid for the year. That's not surprising. The tax dishonesty movement relies on people being too stupid to see through the word games it plays.

Equally interesting is that the paytriots in the tax dishonesty movement claim to stand for the rights of the individual, but don't believe that most Americans are individuals.

you should read the law: "All pies from whatever sources derived, including but not limited to: apples, cherries, bananas, blueberries, etc. etc." I've searched, and I've searched, but I can't seem to find the word "income" in there at all! kinda like "liability" don't you think?

By Anonymous, at 10/13/2005 3:08 PM

dee said - would a person who had cherries or apples or bananas have to pay the "pie" tax? or would they have to make a pie first?

That is where the question of liability comes in. Is the pie tax a tax on the baking of pies? The selling of pies? Some act needs to occur for a person to be liable for the pie tax and this act needs to be written down.

Replace "pies" with "wine" and you have your answer. People who distill wine are liable to pay a liquor tax.

I humbly thank you Dale and know that anything I post is free to all who have the freedom of mind with which to discern.

I thought a purpose of this blog was to share, examine, relate, question, answer besides just one liner quips and name calling, so I brought something to the table as per the CRS, used by the prosecution and Congress. IF CRS is wrong, then the prosecution is wrong and Irwin is right. If CRS is correct than the prosecution and judge had better provide the answer for, at very least, their next case will indeed ask the question.

As for Irwin – “Your Honor, the IRS/DOJ/Judge have failed a proof of claim in this case. If they will file the supporting documentation required by Rule 3001 I will pay whatever is required.

If there was an alternative plan to the current income tax, would you be open to it or is the point you are trying to make that the current enforcement of the income tax is just fine because an alternative, fully laid out plan is not provided for you?

I'm trying to figure out if you agree with Mr Schiff and would be willing to entertain a more fair and just tax system.

***********************

Thank you, Erik for your civil reply and question.

I would love to entertain the possibility of a more fair and just tax system. No one likes to pay taxes. I have said weeks ago on this blog that I am a libertarian.

I don't agree with Mr. Schiff because he advocates frivolous, discredited arguments for avoiding paying income taxes. I have also tried to point out the difference between legality and morality. I believe the tax system in America to be legal. I do not believe it moral, but this distinction appears lost on most TP's.

This is why I ask for a plan to change the law. Simply rehashing frivolous arguments has not and will not change the law.

I believe in smaller government and it surprised even me to read TP's in posts prior to this advocating sales or consumption taxes to replace the income tax. As if the total tax burden was acceptable to them as long we all paid any other tax as long as it wasn't on income. How sad.

Your thoughts?

Of course, no tax at this point is acceptable because every proposal excepts the current out-of-control level of spending by the U.S. Federal Gvt.

The first step in any tax reform would be the call for a reduction in spending by the U.S. Gvt.

And I "CJ" have posed a question with regard to the CRS and Congress and it has not been answered by "reasonable guy" I find this somewhat unreasonable!

Think on this...the tax system was begun at nearly the same time the un-federal Federal Reserve System took over the money? Might the tax be based on the use of the private foreign based currency we use and not on us, not on goods and services but because we have the privilege of using debt currency to "dischage" our payment with limited immunity? See you can't pay for something with nothing, so you receive immunity from the store clerk for paying for something with debt!

AND

Might we be taxed on the privilege of being US Citizens, having given up our birthright when altering our status as Americans by opting for a different status wherein the Government has total jurisdiction over us in exchange for the perceived benefit of collecting Social Security some day if it isn't stolen or you live long enough, which most don't?

There are some REAL ISSUES about the PRIVILEGE. Don't you FEEL MORAL and PRIVILGED NOW?

A MORAL TAX IS AN HONEST TAX. A MORAL TAX IS ONE THAT FAVORS NO ONE OVER ANOTHER. A MORAL TAX IS DISCLOSED.

Wouldn't it be moral for the government to tell you that or if you have been defrauded by them when they had you voluntarily convert your status without letting you in on the secret?

What is moral about fraud? Note that I address issues outside of Irwin's as fraud so do not equate me with the IRC or this case. CJ

I am paraphrasing here but Mr. Schiff believes the tax laws are legal as well but the enforcement of them are not and I share this view. Mr. Schiff has previously said that he is not trying to avoid paying any tax, ever, on anything. He pays sales tax, property tax, etc. because those taxes are mandated by law and are legal.

His contention is strictly with the IRS and their collection of income taxes as a matter of law. He doesn't want to pay a tax or doing anything that he doesn't have to do by law, which I think you would agree, nobody does.

That is the essence of his argument, that the income tax is not legal and it is being enforced illegally. What people confuse about his position is that he is not trying to wiggle out of paying a tax or sculpt out some special provision just for himself while everybody else pays taxes.

His objections are not to the idea of taxation in general or paying any taxes ever or the necessity of taxes and their role in government. His objections concern the legality of the income tax and not whether people pay too much or how it is used. Although, like everybody else, he does have his opinions on government spending as well. Flat tax, consumption tax, whatever it is, it needs to be conducted openly and honestly which is not how the IRS operates.

He has frequently said that he would pay the tax owed if the questions concerning legality are answered. That's his beef in a nutshell, that since 1954 after it was deemed unconstitutional the law says no one has to pay income tax (hence voluntary compliance) and it's enforcement is illegal.

Some do not want to pay any tax ever but others are protesting the legalities of the income tax, not taxation in general. The Boston Tea Party was over "taxation without representation", it was about law, not a bunch of people who didn't want to pay any taxes and were trying to cheat the system. On the contrary, the system had let them down by not giving them fair representation.

I don't know if a flat tax or consumption tax is constitutionally legal or not but if it is legal, it would be greatly preferred to what is an illegally enforced tax. So a "tax protestor" can be against the current system and for a consumption tax if it's legal. That's what they are after, fairness and lawfulness, not simply avoiding taxes in their entirety. People are generally upset about the income taxes they pay and the services they get in return so animosity is born whenever somebody is perceived as not paying their share. Mr. Schiff is not like someone collecting disability who is not disabled or running some other scam to his advantage. It's about law and fairness.

Tax Solution, reasonable guy asks so I deliver.
Why not a tax based in "morality" since you brought that word to the table. Corporations get to dedut nearly everything before paying on their PROFITS. The Bible says to pay 10% of your Excess to the church, (not 10 off the top),
So why not allow people to Deduct their living expenses and pay the tax as per a Corporation and The Bible?

How's that? CJ

Double your pleasure, double your taste. Chew Doublemint, Doublemint, Doublemint Gum.
We have a double government,one is the Three-branch Constitutional Republic,the continental United States, the other is the One-branch legislative democracy, Federal United States. Both are called the United States.(Doublemint).They have cooked the books. There are two sets of books (Laws).One is empty so to speak. The other has laws in it. The first is for non-taxpayers. The second is for taxpayers.The government wants everyone to believe they are taxpayers whether they are or not.As CJ,I believe it was he, said, we say that we are U. S. Citizens, we sign government documents that we are U.S. Citizens. When we do this,we make a contract, the Federal Government takes us at our word and treats us as if we are U.S. Citizens,Federal, not national citizens of continental United States. The laws for taxpayers then apply to us because we have said that they do.
Also, "Prior to 1938, the Supreme Court was dealing with Public Law; since 1938, the Supreme Court has dealt with Public Policy (Statue)..." The older, before 1938,Supreme Court cases do not apply to Public Policy. In 1938,the Supreme Court case Eire Railroad vs Tompkins was the year the courts blended Law with Equity. The courts became Merchant Law courts and not Common Law courts. This happened because America was and is bankrupt. It is completely owned by its creditors. Congress, Executive, Judiciary, and all the State Governments are all owned. The courts are operating under Admiralty Jurisdiction, but they were told not to call it that. They call it Statutory Jurisdiction. The Constitution of the United States mention three jurisdictions in which the courts may operate: Common Law, Equity Law, and Admiralty or Maritime Law. Most of this information was taken from The History of American Constitutional or Common Law with Commentary Concerning Equity and Merchant Law by Dale Pond, Howard Fisher, Richard Knutson, North American Freedom Council. I bought at Amazon.com .

Hey Otis, thank you sir! CJ here.
Article 1, Clause 8, Section 17 exists because the framers needed a territory where they had jurisdiction so they could hire guards/army/police to protect them from people like those on this blog who HATE any new ideas, facts, change etc... and because there wasn't an internet to assinate people they had to protect themselves from the real thing. Also it served to protect the nation as a whole.

This article established the two nations. "The proposed Constitution is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both" James Madison

Think of it as the United States, the geographic nation that you expressed and the...hmmm...well the State of being hovering over top as an overlay if you will. This state of being is the FICTION that they created using what sounds like your name. Look at the SS card...EVERYONE...it says it does NOT BELONG to YOU! IT is their property. What? You have it, they own it. It is a trust account set up with a name like yours but it IS NOT YOU! Get it everyone, IT IS NOT YOU, you are you. It is not a Representation of YOU for it is not ever "supposed" to be used as Identification. It identifies itself...a trust and YOU are the trustee and YOU PLEDGED TO HONOR ALL THE EVER CHANGING RULES AND REGS. and it set up your IRS account...READ the act...it says so!

Ok, enough for now...and YES OTIS, very good you are on the target and the more people who learn the whole, the entirety and not just a couple little things, the BETTER the REAL country, not the fiction, WiLL GET!
Thanks Otis, we are truth and fact seeking brothers. We are not perfect nor know-it-alls...just seekers of truth and fact and yet filled with sin just like the self-righteous ones posted herein. Peace, love and intelligence, CJ

Mr Schiff's personal life and his thoughts on income tax are two separate things. I'm not familar with palimony suits but you suggest that people read it, is it available online? How did you get a copy to read? Can you send everybody a copy? And just for clarity, this is Cindy Neun, the same person in the courtroom who is a co-defendant with Irwin and is supporting him in his position, correct?

That's your hero, a manipulative, self absorbed, delusional sociopath. I pity those that follow him.

I would suggest that the quickest way for you to show others how wrong Mr. Schiff is would be to, well, show us how wrong he is. I venture to say that no one here isn't aware of what the courts think of Mr. Schiff's position and what the IRS will do so there's no need to cite another judge's opinion concerning that.

I am not disagreeing that people have gone to jail as has Mr. Schiff. But I do believe Mr. Schiff has a point about there not being a statute making anybody liable for income tax. Do you agree? Can you explain why the IRS is taking 100% of his social security when the law clearly states that they can only take 10%?

"But I do believe Mr. Schiff has a point about there not being a statute making anybody liable for income tax."

Then why is it that no accredited legal or constitutional scholar agrees with this position, in addition to the courts consistently rejected it as ridiculous?

Is it a HUGE conspiracy spanning decades and encompassing hundreds of thousands of people, or is Irwin simply WRONG as he himself suggested at his trial that he might be (and it wouldn't be the first time for Irwin, either).

Think about it.

INCOME IS NOT THE SUBJECT MATTTER OF THE TAX!

-The language in 26 USC 1 states, “There is hereby imposed on the taxable income of every married individual, every head of household, etc…”
Taxable income is the subject matter of the above sentence, but it IS NOT and can NOT be the subject matter of 26 USC 1 taxation, since INCOME is only the MEASURE of the tax, and NOT the subject matter of the tax and income cannot include inalienable rights excluded by law from taxation.
- Individual is NOT and cannot be the subject matter of 26USC1 taxation on taxable income since capitation taxes are direct taxes and subject to the rule of apportionment.
- Property, real or personal, in NOT and can NOT be the subject matter of 26USC1 taxation since property taxes are direct taxes and subject to the rule of apportionment.
- The common business callings of life, the property which every man has is own labor is NOT and can NOT be the subject matter of taxation since inalienable rights of contract, our labor being our property, and the fruits thereof our property are excluded by law from being tax and would also be subject to apportionment or capitation.

No section of the Code IMPOSES a tax on everyday normal activities.

The Supreme Court, not a US DISTRICT COURT, has ruled in a minimum of 15 decisions that the word income as set forth in all of the income tax acts of congress, has the same definition or meaning that was given IT in the corporation Excise Tax Act of 1909.

Subject matter can confuse one so let’s see what the Congressional Research Service said, ya know the Very CRS the prosecution used…
The 1980 CRS report made the following statement concerning the nature of the income tax:
“Therefore, it can be clearly determined from the decisions of the United States Supreme Court that the income tax is an indirect tax, generally in the nature of an excise tax.”
In 1989, the revised and updated their report:
What does the court mean when it states that
the income tax is in the nature of an excise tax?
“An excise tax is a tax levied on the manufacture, sale, or consumption of a commodity or any various taxes on privileges often assessed in the form of a license or fee. In other words, it is a tax on doing something to property or on the privilege of holding some property or doing some act, not a tax on the property itself. The tax is not on the property directly, but rather it is a tax on the transaction.”
“When a court refers to an income tax as being in the nature of an excise, it is merely stating that the tax is not on the property itself.”
So now we ALL KNOW and MUST AGREE that the federal income tax is not a tax on income right? Finally we have agreement amongst all who read the blogs! Who can dispute the CRS, for that would ruin the prosecution and who can dispute the CRS for it would render Irwin wrong. OUR AGREEMENT - It is a privilege tax measured by income! Congress is taxing some government-defined privilege and income is merely the measuring stick to determine the value of the privilege. Nowhere does CRS identify the so-called privilege that is the basis for the income tax.
Now that we agree that income tax is an excise or privilege tax, then what’s the privilege? This “privilege” must be one of the most closely guarded secrets in American history. Neither the Internal Revenue Service nor members of Congress NOR THE COURT will identify the privilege.
Let’s see what Congress said, after all they wrote it – and they clearly and concisely stated it: In 1943, an analysis of the federal income tax was published in the Congressional Record. “The income tax is, therefore, not a tax on income as such. It is an excise tax with respect to certain activities and privileges, which is measured by the income they produce. The income is not the subject of the tax: it is the basis for determining the amount of the tax.” The fore stated excerpt of information was written by a former legislative draftsman in the Treasury Department and titled, “The Income Tax is an Excise Tax, and Income is Merely the Basis for determining its Amount.”
So there you have it. The question before you is: Name the Privilege that the individual personal 1040 income tax is upon as measured by the income produced from that privilege and do so with cite from 1. court case, 2. IRS, 3. Department of Treasury, 4. Congress!

Hey Anon of 11:34 pm. Show us where in the constitution the IRS has any athority to do anything. Or even show where the IRS is mentioned in the constitution.
How about this, the 1040 instruction booklet says you have to pay any tax you are liable for.
The w-4 instruction says you can claim exempt if you are not liable for the income tax. That means someone is and someone isnt liable for you stoneheads out there.
So how do you know if you are liable? Do you rely on some idiot accountant and what he thinks? Or what some voice on the the phone that you never talked to before in your life tells you? Or do you do some research and read what the law says for yourself?
Thats the whole meaning here people! People like Irwin have read the law for themselves. They understand it differently I'll give you (like Larken and Irwin) But they come to the same conclusion..THE INCOME TAX IS A SCAM!!! But the problem is government doesnt care if its not legal because they have a dependancy on that money ( not for any service mind you). This would be all over the news if it wasnt so dangerous to the governments scam

Tha's a good question. Keep in mind that the IRS could not illegally take 100% of Schiff's social security unless another government agency, the one that's responsible for distibuting social security to the person entitled to receive it, is also violating the law. So, there are at least two rogue government agencies involved in that illegal act.
