I'm not American.
And from your federal Canada Pension Act : "All employers are required to deduct a portion of each employee's earnings.Employers remit the deducted amounts to the Canada Revenue Agency on behalf of the employee."
So you are wrong again. As usual.
Where's the mistake?
I already said employers are required to pre-deduct estimated taxes.
But they are never put in jail in Canada for failing to do so,
and small-scale employers are infamous for not doing it,
or failing to keep accurate books.
That doesn't matter, just like I said, because the major employers,
namely the government (60% of employment) and other large corporations
(i.e., GM, General Foods, etc.) all send money to the government coffers,
so most income taxes in Canada get paid,
even though there is NO CRIMINAL liability
or likelyhood of prison for screwing up your income tax,
beyond a fine,
again, JUST AS I SAID.
In Canada, we abolished Debter's Prison over 100 years ago,
and Income Tax was only a temporary war measure,
which never went away, but has never been criminalized.
In Canada, Large Employers like GM who fail to meet legal standards
are FINED, and
no CEO or shareholder of any corporation in Canada
has ever been jailed for failing to pay income taxes, either for themselves,
or for their employees.
I
f the UK still jails people for income tax defaults, then effectively
you are still living under a form of
Debter's Prison and need to
modernize your legal codes.
As for the USA,
we already posted evidence that the IRS is engaging in
illegal and criminal activity, which violates the Constitution,
in seizing properties and money when no crime has been proven,
or even shown to have been probable.
As for
Kent Hovind, in spite of
aCW's claims (and I am incredulous
that you are siding with him on ANYTHING),
he was never convicted of "tax evasion" or "tax fraud".
He was found guilty of
"structuring" which is a unique invented charge
that
has no existence in any other country where people pay income tax.
He was found guilty of
"contempt of court" for sending a notice by mail
of the fact that he would be pursuing the return of his property.
The people who confiscated his property wanted to keep him in prison
so that he could not get it back.
These two charges do not and cannot constitute "tax evasion" or "tax fraud".
One is a made-up charge that will never withstand a Supreme Court hearing,
and the other is a misapplication of a legitimate offence.
They originally tried to charge Kent Hovind of
"Mail Fraud", because
he was forced to mail the notice from his prison cell.
But the judge realized that
that would never hold up on appeal,
since filing a legal document which is accurate is not fraud,
and doing so by mail is not "mail fraud".
Kent Hovind was exercising his constitutional right to appeal the confiscation
of his property, and this is in no way "contempt of court".
