[quote="gaijinalways"]Interesting take on things Mr. Magoo. I guess all those people paying taxes and the ones avoiding taxes by running abroad are suckers in your book.
And you? Please spare us the unsupported research based lectures. A few people have tried that claim, but unless you like spending time in jail or trying to stay out, I don't recommend it.

Assumption is the mother of all f/ups, pal. Don't assume my thoughts, as I don't assume yours. Educate yourself and grow a spine if you feel strongly enough about it. If enough people got together and told the banking cartels where to stick it... And I resist any sarcastic comments that seem to be your forte.
It's not rocket science, just responsiblity for your actions. If you don't act, blah blah blah, you know the rest.
I am a teacher, and I like to share knowledge. What you do with it is up to you. I have no intention of telling anyone how they should live, I'm just pointing out the facts... Take it easy and enjoy life! |

Er, you guys from the USA do know that the IRS is in fact illegal and not only was never ratified by an (inquorate) senate but is also breaking the 2nd amendment, yeah?
In a nutshell, you don't have to pay any IRS tax if you're an average joe. |
And on the odd chance someone in the IRS notices us (not likely given that it's really not worth their effort with our low salaries), we can say, "But some guy on Dave's told us we didn't have to!"
No, we don't pay. But it's a good idea to file so that everyone knows we don't have to pay. Form 2555, fairly easy to fill out. At least if you're like me and have no assets and a ton of student loan debt.

Well, you might have to pay US taxes, it depends on how high your salary is and the current exchange rate into US dollars. Magoo is just talking through his hat and doesn't seem to want to acknowledge that. What I would suggest to Magoo is to ask a licensed tax accountant if he doesn't believe me. That and hire a good lawyer to help defend his 5th amendment rights in court, though I doubt the lawyer will want to share the cell with him  . |
