A number of folks who do not believe that there is a law that requires taxpayers to pay an income tax have left comments throughout the site, accusing me and other tax professionals of blind ignorance. Now, I don’t mind a sound difference of opinion or a good debate, but this is my blog and I expect a little respect for the folks that stop by my site. If I let your comments stand, you should respect the rights of others to disagree with you. That means keep it civilized. No finger pointing. No name calling. No outright rudeness. Start your own blog if you want to attack others. If you’re confused, read my comment policy.
Most of the comments about tax evasion tend to focus on what is perceived as “sheep mentality” of taxpayers. They are packed with a lot of the “did you even read?” variety. They also largely center around the arguments made by Tommy Cryer. So, to answer the cries of “did you read?”, the answer is “of course I did,” as did most of my colleagues.
And for those of you who haven’t yet read the infamous memorandum, here it is, in full. Enjoy.
LOL, Kelly, you must like conflict!
Yes, I read it when it first popped up on the web.
As Daniel chapter 5 said: Mene, Mene, Tekel. (Measured and found wanting). As most lawyers are aware, his motion for which this memorandum was written was denied.
But it has become an apparent masterpiece nevertheless.
