Can we sue the Government for making us pay taxes.?

Answer 1

Of course you can, but it will be immediately thrown out as they are not breaking the law.

Answer 2

That's a very good question. And if you're smart, you wouldn't get immediately thrown out of court for bringing such a case before them.

Suppose you said that the enforcement of taxation was illegal on grounds that it breaches the constitutionally protected right to privacy?

It'd be an extreme conflict of laws, and one that is inevitable. Ultimately what would happen is that people would discover that the right to privacy is a foolish right at best.

I mean, you guys remember when the swat team stepped in to forcibly remove that cuban child from his relative's home in Miami. heh. You only have a right to privacy if it's convenient, and if you don't need it. This is why I think, eventually, that right is eventually going to go largely ignored, if not removed altogether. The government was mistaken to assume that such a right can, or ever did exist.

If you were to bring such a case before a court, you would most probably lose. Now, taxes by their very institution violate privacy, and infringe upon private income. This constitutes a violation of the right to privacy, but it's inevitable. The right to privacy is a fool's errand anyway. No one can live in a community and ever have true privacy.

When any government (democrat or republican) has to choose between tax money and the right to privacy, I don't think anyone would argue which would be chosen.

Good question. Someone should try this sometime.

Answer 3

If you sue or prosecute a government, you probably won't be successful, regardless of the merits of your cause, if your case is heard by one of that same government's own courts. In general, an uncorruptable, unintimidated, independent third party must provide the court that tries your case, and such circumstances are almost impossible to come by.

Law is not the question: justice is. Laws are supposed to establish justice, but that's a task that they may do either well or poorly. When a government makes bad laws, there is often no redress within the system, nor any established and empowered external arbitration. That's why revolution, violent or otherwise, has been and remains a rational and justified political option for oppressed peoples.

cadodevine: I wouldn't be so sure that the US government isn't "breaking any laws" with the imposition of federal taxes. An American named Gordon Kahl investigated the US tax code and found reason to believe that the government was cheating in its own favor with excess and unauthorized taxation. Soon afterward, a gang of federal marshals ambushed Gordon Kahl as he was returning to their home from a trip. The marshals attempted to assassinate Gordon, but instead wounded his son, Yorie Kahl, who was a passenger in the vehicle.

Gordon Kahl exited his truck and returned fire with his hunting rifle, killing one of the marshals and driving away the others. He then went into hiding. But three months later, the government found him and sent more men to assassinate him. This time, they were successful. In an attempt to conceal the US government's complicity in a murder, law enforcement officers cut the hands and feet off Gordon's corpse, then poured gasoline into the fireplace of the house and burned the building down.

After that, the government turned on the boy, Yorie, and accused him of the "crime" of shooting at federal marshals, knowing that (1) his father, Gordon, had done that shooting and that (2) that shooting, regardless of who did it, was justified as self-defense against an illegal murder attempt by federal agents.

The federal government planted a stooge in the jury that tried Yorie Kahl on the murder charge, and Yorie was wrongfully convicted.

Answer 4

The constitution gives the government the right to levy taxes and to make laws. There is an old saying, there are two things certain in life. Death and taxes. You can try to sue someone over this and several have tried, but its best to just quit whinning about it and move on with your life.

Answer 5

Sorry, You can not sue the Gov. for taxes because without taxes streets would not be paved, Public schools would not have enough funding. The Military would not beable to buy things and so on. With out Tax payers dollars the country would be left in bad condition with bad credit.

Answer 6

i'm no longer attentive to the call of the case or what twelve months it develop into dealt with, yet definite there develop into such an attempt, and the guy making that declare lost. The courtroom suggested that's rational to tax the prosperous extra heavily. My source develop into for saying that develop right into a e book "Constitutional regulation for a replacing u.s.," printed in 1991. that's a textbook used for coach Con regulation to undergraduate scholars. even with the indisputable fact that the e book did not cite the case. The e book in simple terms suggested that the courtroom ruled that modern expenses are rational.

Answer 7

technically you can sue anybody for anything. You would get this thrown out of court though. The government has the right to tax us.

Answer 8

Only if you don't have what to do and you want to lose. You can't sue them because they aren't breaking the law. Maybe you can find a crack in the system and the laws and use it to sue them. But i don't think you will find one.

Answer 9

I don't think there are any chances there, but there might be a law that would allow to sue for the squandering of tax money????

Answer 10

You can sue anyone, I guess. Why would you want to? Would you like to hire your own security, build your own roads,etc?
I know, you're just bored and wanted to talk.
