People cry all the time about this law and that law, but fail to take into account how strictly the laws are actually enforced. You mention taxes. I have gone about seven years now without paying my income taxes. Yes, I do owe them, yes it is a significant amount, no I'm not using some verbal trick. I owe taxes, I haven't paid them. It's against the law. But, if not for me actually informing an IRS agent that I haven't paid them, I probably still would be going relatively un-noticed. Time after time I would receive notices and even phone calls but then they would just let it slide. When this guy did find out did they rush me to jail? No. Threaten me with jail? No. Threaten me at all? Yeah, well a little. "We're going to have to do something if this isn't paid soon." He said. And then I was ignored for another year or two. snip Stephen Whoa Stephen, The wheels of government grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine. The amount you owe them must be way down on the list, because otherwise you'd already probably be out on parole after a couple of warning years in the federal pen. Do you move around a lot by any chance? I would not count on getting away with this long term. I've lived and worked in the same place for twenty years. Is $65,000 not much money? But that was only one example of my point. I speed often, for example. I break a few other laws fairly often with little to no fear of getting caught because it's obvious it's a low priority for the govt. Don't you ever break laws for good reason and not fear much getting caught? Our freedom has less to do with what's written down on paper. It has much more to do with what actually happens to us when we try to do good things that we want to do. Stephen |

Don't you ever break laws for good reason and not fear much getting caught? I'm just stuffing envelopes with fed and state tax returns for my family (me and my wife, my ex, 4 of my kids, six in total) 12 returns in total. I do 'em all with Turbo Tax. No taxes are due, and I didn't lie about anything so they can't get me for perjury Since they are all sleeping, or living elsewhere, I will forge all their signatures. I won't mail them until tomorrow. A day late. I figure on speeding when I drive to the mailbox. So I'm looking at 12 counts of forgery, 12 counts of late mailing, and 1 count of speeding. Not sure if they'll get me, but the outlaw life is exhilarating, and I'll take my chances. Tomorrow I plan to rip off some of the tags on the pillows around the house, and again I'll be bucking the feds. Life is sweet. --Vic |
