I am very familiar with those arguments and technically they are correct, but you have to actually use the laws to get out of it. You can't just up and decide to stop paying for a bill that you acquiesced to.
You're correct that technically that theory was accurate.That's my point in a nutshell. The Law is what the people in power say it is. In the old days, that meant the Golden Rule:
Those with the gold make the rules.
You're potentially scaring away people, including yourself, for no reason. Thousands have and are using these same laws and rules for decades and have had the courts and the IRS admit they what they're doing is correct and legal.
Can you post some court rulings? I'm willing to learn.
Actually, what I would do is read/look over the Weiss Concise Trustee Handbook. It will not only teach you more about express trusts and how to operate in them, but it has a number of case laws cited on every page. It is free to find online and the main contents of the book is only 40 pages.
Yes, I will. I'm at work right now so bear with me. I'll post some later to the same comment that I'm replying to right now.
In Koosman's case, at the time there were self proclaimed tax gurus promoting the Tax Truther notion that "only federal employees, corporate workers and District of Columbia residents" had to pay taxes. If you're interested you can read up on this movement. The Feds used Koosman as an example.
