Much has been written about the reciprocal
legal liabilities to the Federal monster whenever you
accept a federal benefit. Many of our readers understand
how the U.S. Federal Income Tax is entirely voluntary
to a point. However, once you enter into certain contractual
relationships (W-4, 1040, voter registration, etc.),
the obligation is unavoidable and breach is subject
to civil and/or criminal penalties.
In the Federal Tax Court case of U.S.
v. Armen Condo, Mr. Condo's bank account documents were
sitting in front of the judge during his arraignment
and all pretrial hearings. Those commercial contracts
were more than strong enough to warrant incarceration
on |
mere default therein. Since the nature
of bank accounts involves the evidentiary presence of
written admissions, together with the acceptance of
Federal Commercial benefits (FDIC, FSLIC etc.) therefrom,
the presence of reciprocity expectations contained therein,
and other factors, bank account (Federal Reserve) instruments
are CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE of taxpayer status by virtue
of participation in the closed private domain of INTERSTATE
COMMERCE. And by these items of CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE
entering into the Armen Condo factual court setting
the way they did, those bank accounts were all that
the prosecutors needed.
