Court to hear IRS challenge

Judges Supremes docket income tax challenge Colorado man's challenge to IRS says wages don't count “ The government calls those who argue the income tax has no legal foundation “tax protesters” and labels their arguments “frivolous.” And usually judges toss their arguments out of court, assess them court costs on top of taxes, interest and penalties, and sometimes even threaten them if they file further cases. But now the U.S. Supreme Court – the nine judges who sit on the bench in Washington by virtue of their selection by presidents and confirmation by the U.S. Senate – has docketed exactly that type of case. Maehr wrote in his petition for judicial review that he’s been the victim of administrative bludgeoning used by the IRS to quell citizens with objections as well as questions. [...] Among Maehr’s contentions is that while the government has the legal authority to tax, the Internal Revenue Service has used “unlawful, unconstitutional, unfair and biased” manipulations to assess income taxes on that which is not income – essentially salaries and wages. Basing his argument on 10 years’ worth of research into tax law, he concludes that salaries and wages are the result of the mutual agreement among participants to exchange labor for money – and that’s not income. Income, he said, is the increased value of an asset, such as interest on money in a bank account, which can be subjected to income tax.

Obama evidently knows where Chief Justice Robert's kids go to school.  Still, Maehr is a true & principled American hero in my book.  ” Your real self -- the ''I am I'' -- is master of this land, the ruler of this empire.
