The Taxpayer Sanctuary Act
I mentioned I was hatching a scheme. This is it.
In a nutshell, this is an initiative much like Joe Turner's, although it is not prohibiting any illegal aliens from doing anything. Instead, its' aim is: To address the failure of the federal government to secure our borders and enforce immigration law. To address the proliferation of immigration sanctuary cities and states To give the people a non-violent method to make a statement about the federal government selectively enforcing laws. In a nutshell, it declares this county a sanctuary for tax debtors. Basically, if sanctuaries are ok for illegals, then why not from other federal offenses also. This does not prohibit the federal government from acting on its' own against tax debtors. It just says, like sanctuaries for illegals, the county won't lift a finger to help the federal government arrest, prosecute or hold them. Likewise, it doesn't absolve any tax debts. Anyone who owes will still owe, The feds will still have other tools at their discretion to enforce. What this does however, is put the federal government on notice and set the stage for incubating a larger rebellion It's a Tea party rebellion of sorts, similar to the Boston Harbor event, however instead of throwing tea overboard, we're going to throw Ghandi's non-compliance method of rebellion at them. They send us paper (tax liens, arrest warrants, jail holds on our citizens) we toss them overboard. It has a time frame, because we all know taxes are a necessary component to self government. The time frame is to give the federal government time to re-think the issue and enforce immigration law. Maybe it passes, maybe no; One county is not going to convince the feds, but we're looking for other interested parties to embrace it. I would like for everyone to suggest this to their county supervisors and and state representatives, Basically, circulate this high and wide and see if we can start a snowball Quote:

I like the idea.
There's some possible offshoot thoughts too. Since Obama has taken to legislating by fiat through executive orders - bypassing congress in the process concerning myriad issues (illegal migration being just one) - we are being taxed without representation. The further consideration is that the IRS is a corrupt, rogue agency which abuses the taxpayer, some taxpayers more than others in a bid to silence political dissension concerning the president's ideological agendas. |

As it is, it runs a risk of saying this is anti-tax already. What saves us from that is that it ONLY applies to federal income taxes, and is just a non-cooperation statement for a period of time |
It's called .......
Sedition where I come from.
Novel idea but---- I applaud the sentiment and effort. Unfortunately we have a government that is so fundamentally crooked, corrupt and dishonest that no matter what they will retaliate. *( Free speech ??? What free speech ). I have seen various Towns in many places pass legislation only to be viciously attacked by the ACLU and numerous private spoilers, PRLDEF, and many more, hauled into court and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for years only to lose. Spend not only for attorneys fees but also have to reimburse the opponents court costs. The even more sad part around here is that Judges are equally flaming liberal progressives and also corrupt. Further ICE has been sued for apprehending illegal aliens and LOST. *( Actually the insurance company folded and paid off to avoid protracted litigation. Even law students in Yale joined in the fracas and defended the illegals pro bono ) !!! It's indeed frustrating and many opponents have just given up. For myself I work on my representatives constantly, local assemblymen, State Senators and Congress *( House & Senate ) Sheriffs, DOD, DHS. I can't even count the letters written over the past 15 years. They want to hear from the constituents. I do get replies and results, some time's quite impressive too. |
The only way to confront illegal immigration is to confront illegal immigration.
You really have to ask yourself to what extent do the people who have the most to gain from such effort really care about the same issue? Are tax protesters really against illegal immigration or do they support open borders as well? We've seen similar efforts and explanations. Recall that some people say that "self deportation" is the answer. Get rid of the jobs and the welfare and illegals will just go away by themselves. Perhaps these same folks don't want the federal government to be doing anything, even policing our borders and they certainly don't want to pay for it either with taxes. There is really only one solution: Hunt them down and throw them out. The answer to the sanctuary cities is, like the amnesty notion, to offer a more pointed alternative to sanctuary. Any time we throw out an illegal immigrant without prosecuting them for criminal entry, that is amnesty. Any place we provide for illegals on their way out of the country when we provide amnesty, that is sanctuary. The English language is taking a real beating anyway, it will not suffer this temporary indignity. |

And, among those who advocate any sort of control concerning illegal immigration, few to none espouse the idea of crucifying the enablers of illegal immigration - those who employ illegal labor. 99% of those employers know exactly who and what they hire. The blather that they don't know is bullshit spin. Again, if it did come down to hunting "them" down and throwing "them" out, that's fine, so long as it isn't predicated on race and presumption. |
Hi Ayatollah,
Sorry it's taken so long to reply, I've been busy at work the last week. I love the idea! It's exactly the point many have been making for a long while now, the point being, that if immigration laws are purposely not being enforced, then there are a whole host of other laws that shouldn't be enforced... Including Federal tax laws! The next time I hear anybody advocating the non enforcement of immigration laws, I'm going to up the ante and tell them that if "if you don't want immigration laws enforced, than I don't want tax laws enforced"! In fact I also don't want Obama care laws enforced! Welcome to the world of lawlessness! Correction, Welcome to the world of selective lawlessness! |
You are a genius. Great.

In your face.
Hey west coasters. It's show down time. Either agree or capitulate.
I have long contended that my useful idiots here are more skewed than your there, especially LA. For a while you were apparently winning but now "I've got some bad news for you". The NYC council has now voted and approved ID cards for illegal aliens, permiso to open bank accounts, apply for drivers licenses and - ready for this one? - free legal counsel for any illegal aliens who have deportation orders. Yes' it is reported on the news this AM. So now fess up and admit that our lunatics are, hands down, more off the rails than Californian "criminals". Furthermore, also reported, the Supreme Court voted 9 - 0 labeling our supreme allied commander in Nation wrecking as violating the Constitution. It's official. __________________________________________________ _____________ Now a question! I have posted the Federal Customs and Immigration laws many times. Also I stated, above, that there were many Towns attacked and sued for passing their own versions of immigration laws, some most noticeable: Lou Barlette former mayor of Hazleton; City of Danbury, some in Missouri, Texas and elsewhere. To say nothing of how Sheriff Arpaio was treated for enforcing the law. It is impractical to expect anyone to march in to the Oval office or DOJ and throw raincoats over heads and cuffs on. The gentlemanly way is IMPEACHMENT. The question: Why isn't it happening ? Oh yes ! Also why isn't NYC being sued by ANYONE? I'll revert back to my usual position and hope that it degenerates faster and more ruinous. Let the people decide next election. Our Congress obviously doesn't have the will, power or intention of doing anything. |
