Chris Tucker is no Wesley Snipes

The purpose of this board is to track the status of activity, cases, and ultimately the incarceration or fines against TP promoters and certain high-profile TPs.

Oh, but you're wrong.

Snipes is old news. Tucker is current hip/chic.

Stand by for a blizzard of PR positioning releases and a behind-closed-doors settlement.

Judge,
Hey, I actually got to post again. I'm a long-ago 861 TP. Refresh my memory so I don't have to dig up the case-in-point for why my income is not exempt as domestically earned. I'm sure you know the SCOTUS ruling.

If you don't understand by now - Rosie having spent time in jail and all - a "refresher" won't help.

It's been years since I was actively involved. I'd like to reread the SCOTUS ruling that specifically addresses the assertions Larken Rose made.

What makes you think there is one?

My guess is that there is also no "SCOTUS ruling" that holds it illegal to steal a car or shoot someone in the head. Does that mean to you that it's OK to do those things?

Your income is not exempt unless there is an Internal Revenue Code provision that makes it exempt. Neither section 861 nor any other Code provision makes income exempt merely because it's domestic income.

As noted above, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) hears relatively few cases, and definitely has never agreed to hear a case involving the frivolous "861" argument. The federal courts have consistently ruled that the argument that Section 861 excludes income of U.S. citizens and resident aliens from taxation is without legal merit.

See, for example:

Well, now I remember one thing about all this: The reason I stopped coming to Quatloos. I mistook this for the site to come to for a reasoned and unbiased airing of the issue of taxation. But what else should one expect from an empire built on the confiscation of others' hard-earned income? Not a single one of you or the government that created this monstrosity would exist without the IRS and this scam of over-taxation. Political snipe deleted MOD-ND

Well, sweetums, we haven't missed you, or in fact even noticed your absence. When you have something to contribute that is "reasoned and unbiased" please feel free to do so. So far I've seen no evidence of you ever actually contributing anything and only your exhibiting your ignorance. Have I missed anything? You're entitled to your opinion, just don't expect anyone to care unless it has some value.

Ah, so citing the actual court cases for why the doofus "861" argument is a doofus argument is somehow not "reasoned and unbiased", eh?

By using the phrases "this monstrosity" and "this scam of over-taxation," it is obvious that you mean the internal revenue laws of the United States.

You've just shown us your true colors.

Quatloos is not an "empire," and Quatloos is not "built" on the "confiscation" of other people's income.

People like you -- and Larken ("you're not the boss of me!") Rose -- aren't posing honest arguments about what the law is. When you ask for information on some non-existent U.S. Supreme Court decision, you're not really curious about the answer at all.

You're not really searching for a "reasoned and unbiased airing of the issue of taxation." In reality, you're just against the current system of taxation, and you're only pretending to be interested in learning about what the law is.

That's dishonesty on your part.

I've been studying people like you for over 17 years. You're full of baloney.

I do, however, appreciate your providing me the idea of digging back into my files, from yester-year!

On Larken D. Rose and his wife Tessa:

A loony protester named Larken
To the genuine law would not harken.
Had he stayed on his toes,
He and sweet Tessa Rose
Could’ve spared themselves lives that were darkened.

More on Larken Rose:

A pitiful beggar named Larken
For some donated dollars is barkin’.
If the ranting would stop,
He might not be a flop --
He might find that his mind would be sharpened.

As noted previously, there is no SCOTUS ruling on the issue you raise. For there to be one, an appeal from a lower court ruling would have to be filed and accepted by the court. Obviously, that hasn't happened so the lower court's rulings stand.

I'll wager that Sahansdal believes that, without a SCOTUS ruling on Larken Rose's delusions, there is still a chance that they are legally sound. He/she probably doesn't realize that the SCOTUS does not waste its scarce time and resources resolving questions which are meritless. The fact that they have never judged any of Larken's fantasies to have any merit is, in a sense, their ruling that they are, indeed, meritless.

More cases involving the idiotic "861" argument:

United States v. Marston, 517 F.3d 996 (8th Cir. 2008), at:

http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case? ... 89&scilh=0

Result: prison for Clifford B. Marston.


And: United States v. Clayton, 506 F.3d 405 (5th Cir. 2007) (per curiam), cert. denied, case no. 07-904, 552 U.S. 1310 (April 14, 2008), at:

http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case? ... 00&scilh=0

(...."Clayton also began writing letters to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and government officials, demanding that they refute the § 861 argument, and meeting with accountants to ask questions about the federal income tax code. Clayton received numerous replies explaining the fallacy of the § 861 argument, which Clayton patently refused to accept......") (emphasis added) Result? Prison for Dr. Charles Thomas Clayton, a follower of Larken Rose. As a result, the Texas Medical Board yanked his license to practice medicine.

And: Solomon v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo 1993-509, 66 T.C.M. (CCH) 1201 (1993).

EDITED: To expand citation on denial of writ of cert. on Clayton case.

Dr. Charles Thomas Clayton was a classic example of a tax protester -- someone who refused to accept anything that negated his own position. He had already been convicted and sentenced to probation for a prior Federal tax offense before he got into the tax trouble that landed him in Federal prison.

Here's an excerpt from the decision of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, cited above:
The evidence also showed that before sending his second Form 1040X in April of 2002 to request a refund for the original 1998 tax return, Clayton received at least three more responses to his letters, similarly putting him on notice that his § 861 argument was flawed. In May of 2001, he received two emails from Tax Help stating that the obligation to pay taxes is not optional, the average citizen knows taxes are required, and income includes all income worldwide. In July 2001, the IRS sent him another letter with an attached Notice 2001-40 stating that those who continue to follow the § 861 argument in refusing to file returns may well be subject to criminal penalties. Again, Clayton testified that he disregarded these letters as not addressing the issue he presented.
(emphasis added).

More from the Court of Appeals:
Additionally, by Clayton's own written words, it was reasonable for a jury to conclude, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he willfully filed what he subjectively knew were false amended returns. The evidence revealed that in June 2000, around the time Clayton initiated his research regarding the § 861 argument, he sent an email to a fellow tax protester, Larken Rose, stating that "by God (or whatever) I am going to screw [the IRS] for screwing me." In the same month, Clayton sent Rose another email discussing how to deceive the online public into thinking more than just a few people were advocating the § 861 argument. He ended that email with the line: "Sometimes (most of the time) I am so full of shit it amazes me." In yet another email exchange with Rose, Clayton seemed to be constructing a defense to future litigation when he discussed documenting the "solid stuff" about the § 861 argument, and then stated, "if they were ever stupid enough to bring it to court, that knowing what I do about what can be dealt with in criminal court (which is ANYTHING convinced me of my position) that all this stuff would be brought out formally and kill them dead." Then, in March of 2001, Clayton mentioned taking "proactive steps" to protect himself from indictment in another email to Rose.....

Seems to have worked real well for both him and Larken.... The old line about people believing what they want to believe would seem to apply.
