Trusts, in principle, don't sound like such a "scheme".

Trusts in general are not a scheme.

Pure trusts, however, are pure scam.

I doubt you will find any here who have said that trusts are all illegal.
Remember that CtC is about the rule of law.

Psst. Hey. Bostonteaparty.

Your refusal to address the issues noted in the thread YOU started called "More corruption in the courts?" is noticeable. And telling.

This "Bostonteaparty" writes well...I was hoping that it was the same fellow as authored "Boston's Gun Bible", "Goodbye April 15th", "Bulletproof Privacy", "You and the Police", and "Moulon Labe."

Oh he's just a troll trying to foment the regulars. He (or she) is only interested in letting us know how "informed" he is.

This is typical of the shallow, superficial "research" and "thinking" that is so common among tax deniers.

The sales pitch usually begins with a reference to millionaires and billionaires who pay so little in taxes because they shield their assets in...trusts. Yes, you too can be as fortunate as the Kennedy clan, paying little if anything in taxes. But the "pure" trust is actually better because (insert b.s.). A lot of questions remain unanswered, like, why would the federal government allow such a simple (secret) plan to allow citizens to shield all assets from taxes? That letter to Gregory Karl, CPA, from the IRS was useful to assuage remaining fears, stating that for tax purposes, pure trusts are fully legal. I wonder what happened to all those people who bought Lynn Meredith's "pure" trusts. Was it used as proof of willfullness in tax fraud?
