Phil Hart

[Judge Roy Bean]

Something tells me in Hart's mind he's a winner; the evil gubmint has spent far more than they'll ever recover from the sale of that property.

...Philip Hart's home near Athol, Idaho,...

Somehow it seems appropriate that Hart is from Athol...and probably explains why he acts like one.

Former Idaho state Rep. Phil Hart has settled his long-running tax dispute with the IRS, agreeing to let the feds auction off his Athol home for unpaid back taxes.

That’s the same home Hart built partly with logs he stole from state school endowment land, arguing he had a right to them as a citizen.

Tax-protesting former Idaho State Rep. Phil Hart didn’t pay in full in his bid to buy back his Athol home from the IRS, so the federal tax agency will put it up for sale again at public auction.

David Tucker, IRS spokesman in Seattle, said Hart didn’t meet an extended deadline to pay up by Nov. 12. He had earlier missed an Oct. 22 deadline, but asked a federal court to give him more time. Under terms of the auction, that means Hart’s $23,260 deposit is forfeited and will be applied to his tax liabilities.

This guy is certainly "playing" the system more effectively than many other tax protesters do.

IRS auctions home of former state Rep. Phil Hart

The home of tax-protesting former Idaho state Rep. Phil Hart was auctioned Thursday [January 28, 2016] on the Kootenai County Courthouse steps for back taxes.

It sold for $182,000 to a Spokane real estate investor. Hart, who is still living in the log home, attended the auction but didn’t bid.

Mahmood Khokhar, the successful bidder, attended the auction with his wife and was one of two bidders; he told a reporter that he goes to a lot of auctions and bids on homes as part of his business. He was unaware the previous owner of the house was a former state lawmaker.

Hart was the successful bidder for the home at an auction Oct. 1 with a bid of $202,740. After putting up the required 10 percent deposit, however, he failed to pay the balance and the sale fell through. His forfeited deposit was applied toward his $586,000-plus federal tax debt.

“My controversy with the IRS has gone on for 18 years, and probably will continue until I disavow the book I authored about constitutional taxation,” he wrote in an email. “All my attempts to settle my case and get my shirt unhooked from their litigation machinery have been unsuccessful.”

No, Phil, the purpose of all this is not to get you to disavow the book. And disavowing the book will not stop the Internal Revenue Service.

You can stop the "controversy" by paying your f*****g taxes.

By the way, your book is just as full of s**t as you are.

The more I consider this, I am not sure that Hart should have been even allowed to bid on the property, nor should he himself have thought it a wise move to do so. It would not have resolve the tax lien(s) against him since they would automatically re-attach to the property, allowing the IRS to seize the property and sell it again.

Maybe if he bought it back 2-3 times he would have paid off his liens.

Victory!

Phil Hart endorses Trump for President

http://www.newswithviews.com/Hart/phil109.htm

I am supporting Donald Trump for President. As I have listened to him these past few months, I am learning that he embraces many of my values, my principles and my goals. [...] And it just so happens that Donald Trump’s agenda lines up pretty closely with mine.

[notorial dissent]

First the KKK, now Hart, what more could he want.
