the censor himself pulls out the "victim" card ~

From triallogs:

Here is the one I love from the MSN articles list of schemes to avoid.

Return Preparer Fraud: Dishonest people who prepare tax returns, some promising big refunds, can cause big headaches for taxpayers. Some skim from refunds or prepare fraudulent returns. No matter who prepares the return, the taxpayer is ultimately responsible for its accuracy.

In Larken's trial, the prosecutors asserted that tax laws are very complicated and that citizens can't interpret tax laws on their own. They said Larken should have consulted attorneys or CPA's. The prosecutor went onto say soemthing to the affect of "imagine the mess we would have if every citizen read the law for themselves"

Well, as evidenced in the excert above, you can consult all the experts you want. But when there is a problem on your return, the experts shrug there shoulders and walk away. You are the one that is accountable.

I don't imagine many Americans have read the law and actually know what they are signing each year.

He is such a predictable tax protester. He takes the Governments stance that people can not "interpret tax laws for themselves" and turns it into a "something to the effect" quote of "citzens can't read the law for themselves". You can read the laws all you want - you just have to leave the interpretation of those laws to the courts.
