I believe a reasonable person wills see the situations' similarity. I am not attempting to convince you since you are not interested.
There seems to be no good word for nonpayment of tax; tax evasion you take issue with elsewhere, tax avoidance is not the correct word I agree, but I don't know what word you really would like.
One thing is very clear: the IRS will take what it feels is due ('legally', or retroactively legal) and is willing to use the criminal justice system to do so. I and any freedom-loving American see this as a gross violation of the constitution.
- Frondo 11y agoI am a freedom-loving American and I do not consider this a gross violation of the constitution. I consider the IRS as a necessary and permitted part of governance, as a way to pay for the many benefits I enjoy for living in a (mostly) civilized nation.
- tanderson92 11y agoVery few people consider the IRS itself to be unconstitutional. I at least of course do not see the IRS proper as a gross violation of the constitution. Rather, the retroactive judgement of tax owed is a gross violation. That is the context we are having this conversation in, whether the government can retroactively decide that you owe tax to it, in apparent violation of (the spirit, anyway) the constitution.
