Re: Fair trial
Let me answer differently. No it would not. The judge is still chosen by the opposing party. In arbitration, both parties agree to the arbitrator. If we both payed the judge and both got to agree on the judge, I don't think there would be a problem.Cpt Banjo wrote:How about adopting a rule that says in a tax dispute, the taxpayer pays half of the judge's fee and the government pays the other half. In advance. Would that make you feel better?

That would be like Lindsay Lohan judging cases having to do with sobriety, or Mark McGwire judging cases involving performance-enhancing substances in sports. That would be like appointing Fidel Castro or Osama bin Laden to head a panel on political and religious tolerance.

Re: Fair trial
No, the sole reason is because the argument that no one owes income taxes is a brain-dead, frivolous, moronic, imbecilic, absurd, preposterous, cretinous, and nonsensical argument without a shred of legal support.Spideynw wrote:Or maybe it is because they are not fair trials?Cpt Banjo wrote:That's right, because that isn't the law.Spideynw wrote:And yet no judge has ever ruled no one owes income taxes.

Re: Fair trial
No, the ruling wasn't "no one owes income taxes," but the judges effectively struck down the income tax as a large part of it was deemed unconstitutional. That's why the 16th amendment had to be passed. Either way it clearly shows that federal judges have ruled against the government on tax matters. The fact that it doesn't say exactly what you want it to say doesn't discount the fact that your main point (that federal judges can't rule fairly when the government is involved in the case) is idiotic.Spideynw wrote:I missed the point/question about the Pollock decision.

Correct. No judge has ever ruled the income tax as invalid, in whole.CaptainKickback wrote:If you mean everyone in the United States, then the answer is no.Spideynw wrote:And yet no judge has ever ruled no one owes income taxes. Go figure.
Regardless, how the judge rules is not relevant to whether or not the trial was fair. It is how the judge is chosen that makes a trial fair. And when the judge is appointed by the opposing party, it is not a fair trial. Duh!

Re: Fair trial
Spidey, you seem to think that if a judge weren't paid by the federal government, he'd conclude that no one owes income taxes. If that's so, how do you explain the fact that out of all of the law professors who aren't paid by the federal government, not one has concluded that no one owes income taxes?

Re: Fair trial
I'm not sure what reality you live in, but last I checked, U.S. supreme court justices are appointed by the U.S. government, and the U.S. government is the opposing party in U.S. tax cases, whether that be a branch of the U.S. government called the IRS, some other branch, or the U.S. itself. That means the opposing party or opposing parties organization chose the judges.Pottapaug1938 wrote:As stated above, Spidey, the judge is NOT chosen by the opposing party.

Re: Fair trial
Judges are appointed under the Constitution. That you hate the Constitution comes as no particular surprise, but why don't you just leave? Find a country where you get to pick your own judge.

Re: Fair trial
The U.S. Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the President - a taxpayer chosen by electors (taxpayers) who are chosen themselves by taxpayers. The to-be Justice is then presented to and confirmed by the Senate, a body of taxpayers duly elected to be the representative of the collective body of taxpayers.Spideynw wrote:I'm not sure what reality you live in, but last I checked, U.S. supreme court justices are appointed by the U.S. government, and the U.S. government is the opposing party in U.S. tax cases, whether that be a branch of the U.S. government called the IRS, some other branch, or the U.S. itself.

So, the Supreme Court justices (taxpayers, likely in a higher bracket than you, Spidey) are chosen completely by a group of fellow taxpayers.
You seem to think of the "Government" as some large, monolithic body. This is not the U.S. system. In the U.S., our Supreme Court justices are chosen by the people's representatives. They aren't chosen by the 'government' (for example, they aren't chosen by the "IRS" or the DoJ.)
