Getting older is actually quite liberating. At one point in my life I will admit that I cared very deeply about what others thought of me. Now, not so much. I’m now the guy that interjects himself into the debate at the post office or bar. I’m now the guy that won’t let people with Obama stickers merge in front of me. I’m the guy that ran over a “Health Care Reform Now” sign on the side of a busy road five minutes ago. Being a little older means I can’t drive as well as I once could, ya know.
I’m ready to take it up a notch now. Believe it or not, we had a pretty decent year last year financially (not so much this year – thanks Barry). This means we made money, which means I will pay taxes. But I am not going to pay them on time. The massive trough at which the government hogs feed will be a few grand lighter for a little while, because I am going to file an extension. Perfectly legal, and perfectly perfect. Because I have figured out that the tyrants who are busy stuffing me full of mandates desperately need me to conform. I pay the taxes. I obey the rules. I pull the wagon that they ride. They need me to continue to do so. They need you to continue to do so. They need us all. Remember – we pull, they ride.
No more.
Now if I do this, it probably won’t make a bit of difference. If a few people do it, not much. But what if we all did it? Every business, every individual, every entity that owes the government a dime took full advantage of their legal rights? What if we played by the rules, but only at the boundaries? What if instead of not taking the time or spending the money as I have done before, I hired a tax attorney to wring every dime out of my payments, then paid him that amount instead of the government? What if?
From this day forward, I will engage in little acts of civil disobedience. Every single day. Barack won’t have ol’ Jack to count on any more, because tyranny is not what I signed up for. And they need me. They need us.
And we shouldn’t play any more. Now if you will excuse me, I have a line to hold up at the DMV.

The Best "To Do" List Evah!
GJ Merits (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 4:45PM EST (link)Had Enough?
Love the title. Love the post even more. Do not overlook the importance of state legislature races this year:
http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2010/03/22/had-enough/
* Widespread court challenges, on every colorable constitutional, legal, and technical ground we can think of. State governments can take a leading role in this, by virtue of the fact that state governments are more likely than individuals to have standing in federal court. State governments and officials also have much to lose if the feds are allowed to complete their health care takeover.
* Health care provider non-compliance: To the extent they can, physicians and other providers should opt out of the system. Their choices include partial or complete refusal to participate in Medicare, Medicaid, and other government programs; refusal to take any but direct-payment patients; reduced work hours; and even career change and early retirement. Students considering a medical career should now reconsider. Given the ominous nature of the federal health care coup d’etat, my guess is that a lot of this will happen anyway.
* State constitutional amendments. One excellent idea is the amendment proposed in many states guaranteeing that the state will never participate in any system that denies patients and physicians the right to their own health-care decisions.
* Civil disobedience. This should include state non-compliance with federal health-care mandates and peaceful resistance by providers and citizens at every level. The model here should be the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s.
* Redoubling efforts for the 2010 elections. The people responsible for this bill should be cleaned out of Congress – all of them. In addition, we need to gear up for 2012 and ensure that state lawmakers elected in 2010 fully understand their constitutional obligations.
* Amend-to-Save. A clean sweep of Congress is not enough. There is now no escaping it – we need amend our Constitution to save it, or we will not have any Constitution left.
There is nothing new in this last proposal. Our fathers, grandfathers, and their predecessors all adopted constitutional amendments designed less to change the system than to preserve it. Again and again, the American people adopted formal amendments to rein in the politicians and restore or reinforce Founding principles.
Thus, the Ninth Amendment made clear that federal powers were not to be interpreted too expansively. The Tenth Amendment clarified that the central government had no authority other than that granted by the Constitution. The Eleventh reversed a Supreme Court opinion that conflicted with the dominant understanding of the ratifiers. The Twenty-First Amendment restored control over alcoholic beverages to the states, where the Founders had left it. The Twenty-Second Amendment restored the two-term presidential tradition set by Washington, Jefferson, and Madison. The Twenty-Seventh, although not finally adopted until 1992, had been proposed by James Madison and sent to the states by the First Congress. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth (the post-Civil War amendments) were more radical, but also principally fulfilled the ideals of the Founding.
Now we need a Twenty-Eight, Twenty-Ninth, and Thirtieth Amendment – not so much to change the Founders’ Constitution as to restore it. How? Congress will not reform itself. Fortunately, the Founders recognized that when Congress veered completely out of control, there had to be a way to amend without its consent. Hence, they wrote into the Constitution a procedure whereby two-thirds of the states could propose amendments, which would then be drafted by a convention, and approved only if three-quarters of the states ratified them.
We now have no choice: We are going to have to use that method. That’s why state legislative races are so important this year.
I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents….James Madison

The massive trough at which the government hogs feed will be a few grand lighter for a little while, because I am going to file an extension. Perfectly legal, and perfectly perfect.”*
The IRS allows tax payers to apply for an automatic 6 month extension to file their taxes, BUT if you owe them, the taxes are STILL due on April 15th. The extension only prevents any penalty for filing late.
Yep, taxes are due with the extension
texasgalt (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 2:13AM EST (link)but the tax due is more or less an estimate and the penalty is fairly nominal if the tax unpaid is not a large amount. Jack might consider it “worth it” in order to “stretch the envelope” of legality.
This attitude is just another little indicator that the government train is close to jumping the tracks and Dagney Taggerts of the world are growing weary.
The looters of this country and the world steal from the productive through the force of the government, by ultimate threat of the gun. Sooner or later the looted react by fighting back —thru the system at first. When soft or hard tyranny prevails, many people will resort to acts of civil disobedience while at the same time withdrawing their talents from society.
With 2700 pages of soft tyranny staring us in the face, there are gonna be a lot of Jacks.

I am now taking a very, very close look at the “Income Not Reported On A 1099″ for mathematical errors, and believe I have found several which are in my favor. I have a good friend who has also reminded me of some benefits of starting a corporation, which I am now in the process of doing.
Also pay less taxes legally.
pilotguy40 (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 2:48AM EST (link)I rent 1/2 of my house to another person and so as long as I claim the income I can deduct 1//2 the depreciation, property taxes, mortgage interest, repairs, and even utilities. This creates a paper loss that reduces my federal tax liability by over $3000. The person is my son. I also at one time asked my brother if I could buy his house and then rent it to him, also if he would buy my house from me and rent it back to me.
I believe we have a moral obligation to pay as little in taxes as possible, just as I believe it would be wrong to give a drug addict the cash he would need for his next fix. I have written off trips to mexico on taxes. you can if you have the right reason (story). Ever since Pres Nixon paid less than $900 in Federal taxes on income of about $260,000 I decided to follow the example of the leaders of this country. Gietner and gang are just the latest of examples.
careful with this trick
newyorknewyork Saturday, March 20th at 11:03PM EST (link)This is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Claiming a homestead exemption on a property that you subsequently claim as a commercial rental property will eventually get you audited. Be careful.
And whatever idiot wrote this article that an extension means you dont pay taxes for an extra 6 months… you are an idiot. You still pay your taxes in april, you just dont file for 6 months. For most people, this will mean no refund until a later date. In other words, you are giving the government a longer time to pay you back your refund.

"Working to rule" is a kind of slowdown
Achance (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 12:26PM EST (link)that unions do sometimes, especially skilled trades unions whose members can’t be easily replaced or their work done by supervisors. You just figure out ALL the rules and all the safety provisions and such and follow EVERY ONE on EVERY task; absolutely nothing gets done but everybody is still working and getting paid while management and your customers/clients go absolutely nuts.
While Alaska Airlines was having their contract dispute with the pilots a few years ago, they found something that needed a mechanic on every plane at every takeoff and they did it for months.

Schedule M (Making Work Pay and Government Retiree Credits)
grandma Saturday, March 20th at 10:46PM EST (link)Apparently some people are missing this on the tax form.
In order to keep the money from the alleged tax cut, where the government took out less withholding tax from the paychecks from spring to the end of the year 2009, you need to file Schedule M (Making Work Pay and Government Retiree Credits). This could mean $400 individually or $800 if you file jointly.
This tax cut is NOT reflected in the tax tables.
If you do your own taxes, the title of Schedule M is vague and can be easily skipped. If you don’t file Schedule M you are in essence giving your tax cut back to the IRS.
If you’ve already filed and missed Schedule M, you can file an amended tax return form 1040 X which you can get on line at: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040x.pdf
Here is a link for more explanation: http://www.tipsity.com/taxes/2010/irs-tax-form-1040-1040a-schedule-m-2009-2010-instructions-making-work-pay-credit
Another approach
GJ Merits (Diary) Sunday, March 21st at 12:21AM EST (link)Increase your exemptions. People do it all the time that own homes so they don’t have too large a refund. In the end you would have to pay a penalty, but what if millions did it? It would starve the feds of money for a year. Increase them to 10 or 20, but remember you will pay a penalty for underpayment.

america1st (Diary) Sunday, March 21st at 9:04AM EST (link)Just love parking me old decrepit pickup 1/2″ from the rear of some dickweed’s 0vomitmobile while I take a very leisurely stroll, lunch or whatever. People are amazed at my paint chip collection.
Late at night during a blizzard in January 2009 I saw a car off the road and the driver waving frantically. Slowed down, but then saw the 0vomit sticker. I have no obligation to assist the survival of Kool-aid drinkers. Shouted some ‘advice’ as I drove by, leaving them there in the cold and dark to ‘hope’ their luck would ‘change’ with the next vehicle to pass. Didn’t see anything in the paper, so I guess they will be around clamoring for universal cell phone service or whatever they are ‘owed’ to compensate for their terminal stupidity.
I happily let the doors slam in front of 0vomiters, routinely ask them if their welfare checks are large enough – especially the prosperous ones. In public. Loudly. Etc.
Always looking for the opportunity to do anything I can this side of the law to insult, humiliate, or by inaction cause harm to them. But I am politically correct about this and treat all ‘progressives’ with equal hostility (er, opportunity), not discriminating by age, gender, sexual orientation or ethnicity.
Logic in the mind of a liberal is like a snowflake in the desert: lost, alone and soon destroyed by a hostile environment.

I agree
Jack_Savage (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 8:14AM EST (link)But what law did she break? Did she murder someone, or run a car through a store, or vanadlize an office building?
No – she disobeyed an unjust, moronic law that on its face was wrong. I am all about that, and will happily go to jail in that instance. We agree.

PREFACE: The fact that this journal is “recommended” despite the fact that it’s obviously been written by a senile old man says quite a bit about the thug-mentality of the REDSTATE website and the Republican party in general these days…Thugs aren’t exactly crowd pleasers. Enshrining the cranky old man who uses petty thug tactics doesn’t exactly draw people to the Republican party, people…
YOU ARE LOSING SUPPORTERS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE THIS.
TO EVERYONE@ REDSTATE:
Reading through these journals I get the distinct impression that with no outside opinion present other than the preset “Ultra Conservative GOOD/Lib-RUL BAD” dichotomy opinion most of your discussions here at REDSTATE have become beset by GroupThink and have devolved into rabid hate-fest rants punctuated by vague references to the dreaded liberal boogymen.
I’m guessing I will be banned due to this website’s strict GroupThink policies but I am issuing you rabid right-wingers a challenge in the meantime before my post gets censored.
I ventured into your territory knowing full well I would not be accepted yet expressed to you my ideas anyway. I challenge you to do the same to an extreme LEFT WING website ala DAILYKOS or something to that nature.
Without intellectual debate and honest hard hitting discussion our ideas become complacent and our conversations stagnant.
The gauntlet has been cast. Will you accept my challenge?

“What if instead of not taking the time or spending the money as I have done before, I hired a tax attorney to wring every dime out of my payments, then paid him that amount instead of the government? What if?”-Jack Savage
***
Wow. Civil disobedience in the form of hiring an accountant instead of doing the taxes yourself so you don’t accidentally overpay “the tyrants” (The United States Government).
Remind me again how that is influencing or in anyway boycotting the government? If anything, you are just making their job easier as they no longer have to send your over-payed taxes in the form of a refund back to you.
Sigh.
Jackie-boy:
You are a cranky-pants-petty right-wing old man with illusions of grandeur who has simplistic notions concerning reality due to spending most of your waking moments on an extreme right-wing website and glued to the television watching the Republican Party’s propaganda network: Fox News.
According to your own account, you have demonstrated blatant disregard for the rules of civility and courtesy by acting like a complete and utter jackass in public.
I am hoping the next time you decide to “run over a ‘Health Care Reform Now’ sign on the side of a busy road” you get your ass pulled over by a cop and your license revoked. Try explaining to a highway patrol officer that civil disobedience means endangering other peoples lives by driving recklessly and destroying property.
I suggest you look into joining a retirement community and get medically checked out as well as you seem to be demonstrating signs of senility in your post.
PS: And if you can’t afford health-care, it’s a good thing it looks like the health care overhaul is going to pass. Best of luck to you sir.
