Now I haven't read all the posts, and I'm sure you have figured out some way to tell yourself that you aren't legally bound to pay taxes, but what about morally? When I made a thousand bucks a month I still paid some tax on it. Why not you?
That's correct lilfssister, your taxes do pay for those services and benefits. There are about 200 taxes used to pay for those services and benefits.lilfssister wrote:Well, I am usually a no show on political debate, but:

Most of us know the interest payments on Canada's public debt are the biggest payment made using public dollars. This is the same pretty much the world over and IMHO sucks. We were shortsighted, to put it kindly, to do things the way we do and I dunno how we're gonna fix it.Mark-John wrote: But what does income tax pay for? Do you really know where it goes. You may be surprised when you find out who receives this money. Look up Canada, the corporation, under the securities and exchange commission and see where it says revenue.
you are sort of correct, you see, income tax, goes towards the national debt. you see, as of 1933 the country went into a state of bankruptcy. the preceeding depression was in anticipation of this event, and when the govt went to pay up htere was not enough money.lilfssister wrote:Well, I am usually a no show on political debate, but:

what you havent realized yet, is that the parts of the system we use, are courts and law enforcement, and those are not paid for by income tax. they are paid by the general postmaster.(well at least thats where judges checks origonate from) research done properly will break alot of things you have been assuming your whole life! dofferent taxes pay for different things. and a freeman decides what taxes he wants to pay, and what ones he doesnt want to pay. you people dont have that choice. you have to pay it all, and get penuts in return, and while we have rights, you have waived those and in thier place you have "privelages of society".here is an example:Widow wrote:Well, looking at what I've done the last few years, I don't mind anyone using the system to fight itself either![]()
I object, though, to someone who doesn't pay for the system, to use that same system. (Who's paying the judge, the crown lawyer, etc. in all these lawsuits? The taxpayer, no - at least in part?)
I didn't claim that no freemen have renounced their citizenship, I said Freeman Menard hasn't. I know he hasn't, but no matter how many times I ask him he doesn't seem to understand the question. And that's pretty funny since he claims to be a smart guy, but can't seem to grasp a question any simpleton over ten years of age could.tehmastermonk wrote:its called ex-patriate your citizenship for yout informaion, and yes, i have. your claim that no freemen have done this is an assumption for one, and for two, expatriation is not necessary to be a freeman.
Sulako, I am not one who expects a free ride. I pay for services I receive. That includes fuel tax, property tax, school tax, medical tax and taxes on many other benefits. The list is long as you can appreciate.Sulako wrote:... I think it's unfair that you decide not to pay anything in the interim when clearly it does some good, and everyone else chips in.
You know, to pay for the general standard of living we enjoy. I think that if you don't make much money you shouldn't have to pay much tax, but I think that every working person should pay a little, even if it's a tiny token amount for someone making minimum wage, like a few bucks a cheque.
I'm a huge fan of Canada and Canadians in general. We have the most amazing country on the planet, so let's acknowledge that once in a while!
Widow you're asking questions, as we have already established these people don't answer questions. The only lecture and ask questions.Widow wrote:Who pays the general postmaster? Who pays for maintenance and security in the courthouse? Who pays the stenographer? Who pays the person that posts the judgement to the internet?

We love parking tickets; so much so that we have an entire forum dedicated to exactly that.Sulako wrote:Well, in one way I think good on you for giving it a shot, but in another way I think you really have to pick your battles and I wonder if this is all worth it. Like, do you have any energy left over at the end of a long day's defending your freeman sovereign right to be a sovereign freeman or whatever? I'd hate to think how you'd react to a parking ticket, .....

A Toronto woman who launched a $26-million class- action lawsuit over frozen parking meters will get to fight another day, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled yesterday.
The high court's decision means the city will have to fight Anna Marie Arenson's contention that Toronto parking enforcement officers shouldn't hand out tickets when cold weather freezes up parking meters and makes it impossible for drivers to obtain receipts.
