Not only that, but he keeps getting re-elected. There isn't a smarter Democrat for his job? Nancy Pelosi is even more ridiculous than this guy. Its total insanity in DC right now.

We are being governed by a bunch of silver tongued morons. And Nazi Palosi is their leader. I can't believe this jackass can sit there and say taxation is voluntary. WoW. And they said Bush was stupid? The simple fact is, if you don't pay those "voluntary" taxes, you are fined and or put in jail. What an ASS.:angry:
You can call a pig whatever you want, but at the end of the day, it is still a PIG.

Even though I agree Reid is a scoundrel of the 1st order, his assetment of the income tax being voluntary is correct in the sense as this is the gov't pat position. Numerous Internal Revenue Commissioners have stated this and the SCOTUS in Flora vs. US 362 US 145 in a 1960' case that:

[quote“[o]ur system of taxation is based upon voluntary assessment and payment, not upon distraint.”][/quote]

This was further documented as recent as April 2007' when the IRS in Revenue Ruling 2007-20 stated the same thing. People have taken this SCOTUS ruling and the quotes of previous commissioners and use to justify not filing and some have gone to jail as a result. Most are taken into civil proceding via IRC 6020(b) where the IRS files the return for the taxpayer and assess the tax at which point Taxpayer has 90 days to file with tax court before summanry judgement is issued and IRS begins a liens/levy process.

Yeah, I would not call this system voluntary either but what Reid is saying is what the gov't (both republican and democrat) have been saying for years so to single out Reid (as much as he might deserve it) is not being completely honest IMO.

But I still appreciate the fact that they filmed his stupidity even if it's only in our eyes!

:wink2:

You know, Reid may be right after all. We do have something called jury nullification that if we used it we could void a lot of over reach in gov't. Just a thought!

Seems another former Sen. democrat and leader has made a bit of tax news himself http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=ak8vFBzQdnQw&refer=worldwide but Glenn Greenwald at Salon takes a deeper look at the former Senate leader.

Seems funny that Obama promised to have the cleanest Govt. ever. Not even a month into his Presidency and already he has 2 tax evaders ( got a pass on that), and he is hiring lobbyists (got a pass on that too).
What's next? :knockedout:
This is going top be a very interesting administration to say the least.

A woman, Nancy somebody was being nominated for some efficiency position in Obama's house and she withdrew her name because of tax trouble....don't know the details.

YouTube - Nancy Pelosi: Dumber than Soap
:rofl::rofl::rofl:
She is such an idiot. Any doofus knows the US population is a little more that 300 million. How in hell are 500 mill losing their jobs everyday? The old scare tactics are in full force. Didn't they accuse the Republicans of fear mongering?
Hmmmm, seems like those very tactics. Amazing. She seems to do this a lot.
