The backbone of survival for the or any State for that matter, is how effectively they administer and collect Tax, and in this case "Income Tax". Without Income Tax/Revenue they cannot survive. Without the compliance of People to pay the said "Income Tax" or "Revenue" they cannot collect. And without the tools to enforce or coerce People into complying, they cannot collect. FEAR and intimidation are the tools of their trade. After all, who in their right and critical mind, would willingly pay "Income Tax"? Well perhaps their are some that would, and that is fine. For those that really wish and want to support "the State" in this way, that is absolutely their choice, and we would never be critical of any Man or Woman that wishes to express their own free will in this way, by declaring and paying "Income Tax". So why do People who on the face of it, willingly chose to declare and pay "Income Tax", often verbally assault, attack and/or deride those who chose of their own free will, to not declare and/or not pay "Income Tax"? We do not currently have a logical answer to that question, although we suspect that those People who deride People in this fashion, simply do not have any critical sense or real knowledge of the law pertaining to "Income Tax" and the declaration and payment of same. Sometimes we use the term or word "Ignorant", and this can often put Peoples back up, or get their agitated or annoyed, as if to infer that we are calling them stupid or dumb. But this or that is not the case. When we use the term or word "Ignorant", we mean it in the most literal sence, that their is a lack or want of knowledge, of which we have all had this experience. We all, from time to time are "Ignorant", of the information, the facts, the knowledge etc. So therefore we are ALL "Ignorant", depending on the subject or subject matter. It should not ever be taken as a slight or insult. Until we and others read, studied and critically researched the law and laws pertaining to "Income Tax" we were ignorant, but not so much any more. Every day we learn a little more, and are a bit less ignorant, to the extent that, over the years we have become relatively skilled and adept at dealing with Revenue on such subjects. For example ... have a quick listen to this (REAL) recording to Revenue (below). Whilst the caller is perhaps not the brightest tool in the box, he is endeavouring to gain knowledge by speaking to Revenue. The question(s) being asked is not a complex one, but he struggles to get the Revenue Officer to commit to giving a clear answer. You have to wonder why? Listen >HERE< |
