Adventures Success Stories?

1) Everybody is a taxpayer.
2) Anything that "comes in" excluding exemptions is taxable income.

To them these are irrebuttable presumptions, and if you think otherwise you are a crazy [strike]tax protester[/strike] tax denier (I guess that's the new phrase now)

Income is "taxable" for the simple reason that they say it is. Just like when the local mafia "protection agency" comes to your place of business and tells you to make a monthly payment to them or they'll do some "redecoratin'." You "owe" them the money (from their point of view). Why should the mafia or IRS (mafia with a makeover) bust a hump doing productive work for someone willing to pay for it when they can simply steal from productive workers? Nice work if you can get it. And people like wserrata cheer them on from the sidelines despite all rationality. What a strange, strange universe we inhabit.
