Not sure anyone saw this (gold tax in healthcare bill)

I will. It's wrong not to pay taxes owed. You are stealing from everyone else, and I'm glad they are passing laws to make it harder to cheat on taxes.

Missing The Point

I'm in agreement with the majority of your post, but disagree with placing blame using the name of the presiding member of government. i believe you'll find that the president has relatively little power, and we have relegated power to a group of self serving dolts, who constantly negotiate and legislate for their interests. Our dilemma generally has been generated by "one term wonders" who know that they are virtually invisible, having established a "republic" (versus democracy), generally disallowing referendum, that provides virtually absolute control of our nations resources to a few dishonest individuals. "Honest Politician " is an oxymoron, contrary to the moronic actions of these hypocrites who must act dishonestly to become an elected "representative". We can't find an elected official who has a record without dishonesty, as they like us are human, except that acquiring public office requires excellence in betrayal. We are to blame for our problems, and would probably find as any good farmer will attest, crop rotation is necessary for optimum positive growth. We as the electorate should probably constantly weed and rotate to minimize an infertile environment.

I read this thread as humor, inasmuch as legislation for confiscation has already been established, and government is just "fine tuning" the criteria for confiscation of "excessive money" (discretionary funds). Members of government have already established/stated that any funds beyond those to acquire the bare essentials, should be subject to egregious taxation. If one reviews the tax code and legislation in existence as the "Bank Secrecy Act", they will realize that the government has already established legislation for absolute confiscation. All that remains is the establishment of who has excess funds.

An example of how ridiculous regulations have become, is a recent incident when I received calls from my bank questioning first why I would make a 5 figure cash deposit. The deposit was for easy bank funds transfer, allowing a friend rapid availability of certified funds for a home closing. They questioned me at length, insinuating "money laundering". They then asked about 4 figure cash withdrawals from my checking account, which I explained that cash funds were required for purchasing items on Craigslist, where they informed that I was to be reported for "Structuring", a felonious action, as defined within the "Bank Secrecy Act". I asked what were the applicable criteria for reporting, and was informed that it was at the discretion of the bank, and couldn't be disclosed to depositors. I thanked the bank representative for her efforts in sharing my private transactions, and possibly additional wealth with the government, and told her she could also report that when they come to my home for confiscation, I will probably also be sharing my large accumulation of firepower and ammunition. "Big Brother/Sister" is watching, preparing for confiscation.

I know that I pay taxes far in excess of the average American, and file an extreme volume of supporting documents annually, reporting virtually every minute detail, and have never been audited. It chaffs me that my bank could initiate felonious action because I deposited/withdrew cash of my personal appreciably taxed funds.

The noose is being tightened, and actions to avoid strangulation may just initiate hanging. LOL

Rich :smile

 

I wouldn't dream of blaming any current resident of any building. I blame all of them who have sat there for at least 20 years, and their buddies down the road. Plenty of blame to go around.
