  • In December, 1996, the United States Supreme Court decided the case of O'Gilvie vs. US. In a six to three decision, the court held that punitive damages received as part of a wrongful death award were not excluded from taxable income by IRC. Sec. 104(a)(2), which excludes "any damages received on account of personal injuries."

    You do realize that your argument that 'wages are not taxable income' has never won in any court in the U.S...ever?

    And you left out the fact that your 'information' doesn't cover what the court said.

    Unless you can show where Section 61 references your section 1.414 it does not matter WHAT that section says.

  • @RetSquid So when internal revenue cannot site where their references come from it does not matter what that section says either???? That information was straight from Justia, so, Justia does not know what they are doing either? Well, it sounds like you are the only one with pertinent information. You have refuted Supreme court rulings that explicitly define income,and still deny the proper definition of income. Hmmmmmmmm

  • @MsLawman7

    No, I have posted SCOTUS rulings that define income and you read only the part that you think agrees with your ideas. Your claims about 'compensation' are wrong, wages and salaries are income and compensation, therefore they are taxable income. Section 1.414 itself says that it does not apply unless another section references it directly.

  • 1 of 2 RetSquid This Supreme Court ruling decision was one where one who earns a SALARY could be taxed on it. I am going to assume that this person in this court ruling was a public official because the constitutional definition of SALARY belongs to public officials. They are specifically talking about SALARY here, not wage, which in previous court rulings posted here, are a special kind of property.

  • @MsLawman7

    Yes, a 'salary' or 'compensation for services' is the very first thing defined in the law as 'income'. A 'salary' is defined as :"Fixed compensation for services, paid to a person on a regular basis". It has nothing to do with where it comes from.

    “Similarly, Latham’s instruction which indicated that under 26 U.S.C. § 3401(c) the category of ‘employee’ does not include privately employed wage earners is a preposterous reading of the statute. It is obvious that within the context of both statutes the word ‘includes’ is a term of enlargement not of limitation, and the reference to certain entities or categories is not intended to exclude all others.”

  • @MsLawman7

    To the extent that income taxes are said to be "voluntary," however, they are only voluntary in that one files the returns and pays the taxes without the IRS first telling each individual the amount due and then forcing payment of that amount. The payment of income taxes is not optional, however, see, e.g.,

    Wilcox v. Commissioner, 848 F.2d 1007, 1008 (9th Cir. 1988); Newman v. Schiff

  • How does the IRS have standing against someone in a court of law? Anyone?

  • @chrishufstetler

    The IRS has standing as the "United States" in court, OR the IRS Comissioner has standing to be sued.

  • 2010 audit rate is at about 9%. That CPA ex Special Agent won't last long. Don't get fooled people, there are legal(!) ways to minimize your taxes. What a Hoax!

    She was already busted and got out of prison last March after serving time on a four year sentence.

  • SEVEN YEARS AGO! And it's basically saying the same thing to this day, that's consistency.

  • Americans are finding out about the IRS scam and yet..they still pay..so whatever..those that wont pay are usually.chastized and laughed at. My extended family thinks iam a weirdo for not wanting to pay taxes..and they say "pay your taxes and shut up"

  • @MotorCityPlayer

    What "IRS scam"?

  • I have see the loss of our great factories ,the ponzi scheme that is the FED!!,The total corruption of our political system,corporations and financial structure .The lie that is free trade.Socialism which is all subsidies Propaganda portrayed as news,controlled by the elite.Our military used as a corporate global police force. If this is not stopped we shall be enslaved by the globalist. I ask for nothing from this system,why does it steal from me!!

  • In the past I have always paid taxes but since the IRS has seen fit to illeagaly tax me for money I did not earn I will join many others that make unreported income and aviod other taxes as well because the rules are: There are no rules!

  • P-L-E-A-S-E vote for RON PAUL......he our last and best hope before the communist jews take over this country completely.

  • @IsraeliteMessenger

    Take your bigotry and leave my country.

  • although I like all they have to say here, Pub 17 up front tells people what will happen to them if they do not file a return...not a frivolous return. The IRS has many more lawyers at its disposal to outspend any citizen in court. The IRS will not let its employees write the words "tax evader" in its letters to these people...

  • ask yourself if you are free when they take every dollar you make for 3 or 4 months of the year. And if you dont? They threaten you with your property, family, jail, ill bet theres a sicko in the agency that will even kill you over it. Thats what you call freedom? You can have that shit back.

  • I like this Ron Paul guy. He seems to have some good ideas.  Heh.

  • Here in Canada it is the law to pay what the CRA says with no appeal. If you appeal you will be fined contempt of gov't. They will find nothing in an Audit but then make up numbers and force you to pay INSTANTLY. If they owe you it can be months before you receive. If you owe you might aswell kill yourself! But even then they will sue your family for what you owe. Garnish your wages and rape you in your sleep. K that last one was made up but still feels like rape!

  • I like R. Paul but I sure hope he doesn't disappoint like the previous guy the people had their hopes on.

  • @tuquik4u Ron Paul has been consistent for 30+ years. He's a good, honest man. You won't find him flip flopping on the issues or going against his word. He sticks to the Constitution.

  • @peanutblondie

    He may think he's honest but he is factually wrong about the income tax and the 16th Amendment.

  • @peanutblondie As I've stated before. I like Ron Paul. I really do. It's just that history has shown that many have said one thing but acted differently. I'm not saying Ron Paul is the same. I just wish he will follow through for the sake of all honest and righteous people. I am quite convinced from seeing his courage in confronting the "den of vipers". Peace. =)

  • @tuquik4u I agree with you here's hopeing.

  • this is awesome, thank you for posting. If you haven't seen Aaron Russo's FREEDOM TO FASCISM then do urself a favor and go watch it asap.

    PS

    vote Ron Paul 2012 and lets take our country back

  • @HollywoodSheen - if you're stupid enough to believe aaron russo's bs, you deserve what you get

    google: "Facts Refute Filmmaker’s Assertions on Income Tax in America"

    and read how 'freedom to fascism' is just political propaganda and misinformation

    no wonder ron paul gets called a nut case when he supports these lunatics

  • He has never voted to raise taxes.

    He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.

    He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.

    He has never voted to raise congressional pay.

    He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

    He voted against the Patriot Act.

    He voted against the Iraq war.

    He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

    Vote for Ron Paul 2012.

  • where was ron paul when george bush was spending money on wars no one could afford

  • @wayneo11121 wow, if your implying that ron paul wasn't criticizing bush for his foreign policy then your a moron, he's always been outspoken very strongly on bush

  • @wayneo11121 wow, if your implying that ron paul wasn't criticizing bush for his foreign policy then your a moron, he's always been outspoken very strongly on bush

  • @wayneo11121

    Did you not watch the fucking video? Especially around 3:30 ?

  • Audit the federal reserve cartel so the American people see they are crooks and demand to put them in jail!!!!!!!!

  • @raiden241 the audit already happened if you didn't know. they got caught shipping 16 trillion to foreign banks i believe ..with zero justice..

  • I hope Ron Paul gets elected and abolishes the IRS for good.

  • @eightieshbanger

    You do know that, even IF he was elected, he would not have the power to do that, right?

  • @RetSquid

    Well, Ron Paul is leading Iowa!

  • @dude58677

    So what? His followers are few but vocal.

  • @RetSquid

    Hey, don't be a sore loser!

  • @dude58677

    What have I lost?

  • @RetSquid

    LOL, now your pretending to be stupid! In your face!

  • @dude58677

    Well, you claim I lost something, I'm not missing anything, so what did I lose? Every nominee has lead in Iowa at sometime in the last year or so.

  • @eightieshbanger I would love that but the good doctor will need the help of the Congress.

    And Dr. Paul has advocated he does well in building coalitions so in that regards eventually the Congress will agree with Dr. Paul to get rid of the trash that is the IRS.

  • @kantoriX1 correction! He needs the support of the people. the congress and government is defunct.

  • @eightieshbanger Amen!

  • @eightieshbanger Impossible. The only thing Dr. Paul can do when in office is bring home a majority of the troops and even then, who the hell knows if congress wont be able to make sure that doesn't happen....seeing how every congressman is pro war.
