Is paying income tax mandatory? Is it constitutional? Are there any laws on the books that say you HAVE to pay taxes?

If I'm buying a home and want to exercise and sell some stock options to pay for part of it, is there something I can do to reduce the short term capital gain taxes? Specifically, does the 1031 exchange apply here?

First, I wish every one to understand: I DO NOT TRUST ANY-ANY POLITICIAN !!! If they were worth a crap, they would be productive in the private 'sector' and producing a valuable product, service, or benefit !!!
Second, If the Bastar* is a politician, VOTE HIM / HER OUT !!!!
Now, enough for my 'preaching'!
How about a LOTTERY, with the 'proceeds' / profits, after payouts, to be placed into an insured, interest bearing 'trust fund', WITH NON POLITICAL people ( exactly like a private company), doing the 'paperwork, payouts, investments' etc.
This is rudimentary, and just for some THOUGHTFULL 'feedback' from people who, not knowing me, will "TELL IT LIKE IT IS" !

In a situation where the borrower is current with the mortgage and has good credit, but knows that they will have problems in the future with payments. Where the property is worth less than current loan amounts. The owner wishes to get rid of the property.
This is the primary residence, but they have someplace to move to. My question is, which is preferred by the loan company? Which will clean up more quickly in terms of credit score, Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure or Short Sale?

when I got hired for a job at an AMC theater yesterday. One of the managers was helping me and another new hire out, and she was saying that 0 would have the government take more out now, but give me more back later, or something like that, so I just claimed 0. Was that the best thing to do? I'm an 18-year-old still living with my parents (in California), and I'm a full-time college student

Some people say that it's better to just claim 1, take a bigger paycheck, and deposit some of it into a savings account with interest, and just pay the government back with that if I owe them. If I claim 0, then I'm practically giving the government an interest-free loan. The savings account I have is WaMu and I believe it's .25% (a month, I think)...is that gonna yield much over time?

Any professional advice?

I wanted to see what kind of promotions they were sending to their customers. Is there anything illegal about doing that? I want to tell my boss, but I don't want him to get mad at me over it.

Facts to consider:
It's in Orleans Parish.
It's gutted out and abandoned damaged 52% by Katrina.
Taxes not paid since 2004.
Owner not likely to redeem.
I paid the taxes and will receive a Tax Deed in 2 weeks.
I am looking for a book or information specifically on what to do after the property is purchased. I know that I have to contact the owner. If there is a form to inform him of his rights I need that. I also want to know what improvements to the home are refundable if the owner redeems. I knwo I typed a lot, but this is my first home and I want to do this right. PLEASE, only serious responses!

My boss asked me in to work today and lectured me about a couple things. The main one was that I was not allowed to discuss my pay with other people who work at my store. He told me that there were actual privacy laws that I cannot do this. I think he's full of it. Is there actually a law out there that says I cannot tell my coworkers how much I make? Thanks!

I've been desperatly trying to get hold of my previous school in order to get a copy of a report from my year 10 work experience & a reference from one of my teachers to add to my CV. I understand ex-students will not be the highest priority but after emails, phone calls, letters I am getting nowhere. Can anyone think of any way I can work around this?

With a mortgage you don't even own the house until 30 years later after you make all the principal and interest payments which means you end up paying double the original purchase price. There must be a better way than being a prisoner of the bank?
