Dante Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 ...I'm thinking of "deeming" myself exempt from paying federal income tax. Since rules, the Constitution do not seem to matter much. Maybe those (*^*&%^$^#anarchists in Oregon are on to something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erynthered Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I thought of your post when I got this. Another e-mail I got today............ Becoming Illegal The Honorable Tom Harkin 731 Hart Senate Office Building Phone (202) 224 3254 Washington DC , 20510 Dear Senator Harkin, As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you. My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out. Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005. Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year. Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications, as well as 'in-state' tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son. Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college age children driving my car. If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative. Thank you for your assistance.

Doc Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 If the health bill passes, I'm telling my billing people, who are also CPA's, to stop paying any taxes and I'll "take care of them" come tax day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCinBuffalo Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Current count is 211-220 against. TheHill.com has 37 likely "no"s. That means it doesn't go. 37 Defections is the "no" magic number. They say they are going to have a vote on Sunday. But, now, the news is also saying that even if there is a vote on Sunday, that the Senate will want to make changes...so no way it passes even if it does pass the House on Sunday. Right now? This looks less and less likely to be resolved soon. In fact, if they still don't have a vote by Sunday, the ass may fall right out of this thing. Hooray! Then, perhaps, they will start all over and do it right this time, and start focusing on real cost cutting, not this phony crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
