WRONG ANSWER! The "government" doesn't put you in jail for not paying taxes. You are put in jail by a jury of your peers. If everybody that gets called for jury duty would find the defendants charged with tax evasion not guilty, the problem is solved. So when a person gets convicted of tax evasion, it's not the government, rather it's people on the jury. Until we can get a panel of jurors to aquit everybody for tax evasion, I guess we have to pay taxes or roll the dice and hope for a good jury.

Hey "dude" welcome to POTUS
Id say youre gonna fit right in here. Your post is short, bold and decisive

Your first sentence is 2 words & quite bold "No dude" then you close with an even shorter & BOLDER 1 one word sentenc "Period"

We all appreciate short bold statements that give the impression that they are dispositive on the subject and that nothing else can be or need be said.

The problem as I see it with your post is that everything you said between your opening & closing sentences is as wrong as can be.

You state "Even if you could possibly find a jury that would find you not guilty at all levels of appeal, this would go to the Supreme Court...."
That is wrong on a number of levels.
First appeals are handled by judges NOT jurys. So if the first jury finds you guilty you can ask for an appeal; but not to a jury. You can in fact ask for an appeal all the way up to the US supreme court if your conviction is upheld on all of your appeals. None of your appeals will be to a jury. However, and most importantly if the jury finds you Not guilty, then you dont have to worry about any subsequent judges {or Jurys} at the appellate level upholding that not guilty verdict, because the case is OVER. There can be no appeals. Period

Remember that Constitution thing that our recent leaders have tried to ignore? It still kinda applys. Period

Welcome to POTUS. I like your style. Dont feel embarressed by your error. It happens to most if not all if they are honest.
Additionally there is a large faction here in this echo chamber that will actually embrace you for your ability to be so blatantly wrong

Frequently someone will make a post alleging that something egregious has happened whereby our Pres is disresspecting our soldiers at military funerals or signing secret treatys in the UN to confiscate our guns or whatever. The echo chamber , claiming to be Patriots, will resound with angst and outrage at this slight and bemoan what is happening to our once great nation. Eventually someone will post up that the OP is false with links proving so.
That is when the outrage usually gets turned up here in the echo chamber. Strangely the outrage will be directed at the poster & or their source who actually revealed the truth.
A rational person would be correct in doubting this. If you find it hard to believe, then take some time and amuse yourself by checking the post history of the originator of this thread{or of the other most prolific POTUS poster named Bill}

It would seem to me that many of the alleged "Patriots" in the echo chamber are not really interested in the truth and whats best for the USA as they are in whats best for their party. What is being claimed as Patriotism is actually Partisanship and seems to be increasing IMHO, That to me doesn't bode well for the future of our Republic

That vet types too fast for me. The term all are looking for is double jeopardy, and whereas that is the fun part of the show, it's not allowed under our constitution.

Don't really agree with most of the rest of his post, but he got that part on the money.

Methinks you are guilty of selective comprehension :-P.

BTW, I asked you some questions on the Veterans thread, but no answer. But that is something I have learned to expect from those so quick to point to other's perceived failings :).

Touché.

While I appreciate the lesson in our legal system, my point was that one would never be allowed to neglect their requirement to pay taxes. I'm pretty sure there is precedent for that... ask Willie.

Hi Brad, don't let the good doctor ruffle your feathers... Most of her posts are like that and if you keep it up she may even bestow a new title upon you... She knighted Stan as the Wizard of Wisconsin... maybe you will be the Baron of Blountville??:rolleyes:
