Without the court to compel the document(s), or their admission that the document(s) don't exist, they can ignore you with total impunity, and they have done just that, time and time again. That's why! Moreover, things are just NOT as plain as day. Let me give you a simple example: IRC 7851(a)(6)(A) states: General rule. The provisions of subtitle F shall take effect on the day after the date of enactment of this title .... What does that say to you? I would appreciate an honest answer from you. I want to hear your honest answer, before I tell you what it means to me, so as not to prejudice your answer in any way. Finally, the FOIA does not bind local libraries, because it is a federal law, and it can only be used to compel production of documents by executive agencies; Congress has enacted blanket FOIA exemptions for itself, and for the entire federal judiciary, including clerks and janitors. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com > >I doubt that "I quit!" letters will get you anything >but more demanding letters, at a minimum.

And what is the applicable procedure, when there are no liability statutes, except for the ones listed in the definition of "withholding agent" at IRC 7701(a)(16)? BTW, courts have ruled that "doubt" should be resolved in favor of those upon whom the tax is sought to be laid. If you are entirely sure there is a liability statute which requires you to pay, then put it on the table, right here and now, please. I am waiting ... /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com > >In a nutshell, they will presume you are liable unless >you prove otherwise. And the way we have chosen to "prove otherwise" is precisely by submitting a proper FOIA request for certified copies of the liability statutes in question. I would hate to be wrong about my finding that the only liability statutes are those listed in the definition of "withholding agent" at 7701(a)(16). Therefore, I am hereby rebutting their presumption, because it is only a presumption, and it is certainly not a conclusive presumption, particularly when they fall silent in the face of a proper and timely FOIA request and appeal for same. If I am wrong, then it is now up to THEM to prove that I made an error. BTW, the regs don't count, because Congress never gave Treasury authority to legislate overly broad extensions of the existing liability statutes, so, there is no statutory authority for imposing the federal income tax on "citizens of the United States" and "residents of the United States", as is done at 26 CFR 1.1-1 et seq. The doctrine of "implied legislative consent" for these regs is just so much hogwash. People can rationalize anything; look at what the Nazi's rationalized in WWII. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com Just saying "I quit" doesn't cut >it in any legal setting. > >-- Lynda I know that, Lynda. I have submitted over 100 documents to various government agencies, and the vast majority of responses have been silence. I now have 5 gigabytes of accumulated research and related text files. I have now chosen the path of the peaceful warrior. The grand jury case we litigated authored 25 different pleadings alone, submitted to the foreperson, and every one was intercepted by the judge and the Assistant U.S. Attorney. So, I now feel that "I quit!" is entirely appropriate, particularly in light of all the cases which have defined the legal meaning of silence, e.g. U.S. v. Tweel, and Carmine v. Bowen. So, take this, IRS: "I quit!" We will see you in court, when the Quo Warranto is soon filed. /s/ Paul Mitchell > > >Liability for Subtitle A income taxes can be >found in the statutes listed in the definition >of "Withholding agent" at IRC 7701(a)(16). > >Treasury has now refused to supply certified copies >of any other liability statutes, in response to a >FOIA request for same.
