Which one? The one that works or the one that doesn’t? (nm) - MIZ45 MU - 11/11 14:56:06

Which tax? - Spanky KU - 11/11 14:23:37

HUH? - meatiger MU - 11/11 15:49:55

are taxes compulsory or voluntary? (nm) - pickle MU

- 11/11 15:59:10

The former(nm) - meatiger MU - 11/11 18:02:21

then you agree it's theft (nm) - pickle MU

- 11/11 19:59:55

I'm pretty the sure the question implies "taxes [that the - ummmm MU - 11/11 14:25:43

Then typically, nothing happens. - Spanky KU - 11/11 14:51:59

There is more than just convictions for tax fraud. - ummmm MU - 11/11 15:23:47

The IRS initiated only 2,886 cases for criminal prosecution - Spanky KU - 11/11 15:30:05

Again, there is more than criminal prosecutions.(nm) - ummmm MU - 11/11 15:48:42

'under penalty of death' is pickle's favorite catch tag - Spanky KU - 11/11 15:49:38

Yes, it's the last part in the progression (nm) - ummmm MU - 11/11 15:53:14

2,886 cases out of 466,000 - Spanky KU - 11/11 16:02:04

You're jumping ahead in the progression - ummmm MU - 11/11 16:04:07

how many? 466,000 did not pay their taxes last year - Spanky KU - 11/11 16:13:23

Not nothing. - ummmm MU - 11/11 16:15:28

'typically' = 'in most cases' - Spanky KU - 11/11 17:48:42

Very close to nothing.... 0.5% are audited - Spanky KU - 11/11 16:20:27

Audits are a different thing altogether. - ummmm MU - 11/11 16:22:00

the odds of getting caught are VERY, VERY low - Spanky KU - 11/11 16:24:29

You're the only one talking about odds in this thread - ummmm MU - 11/11 16:27:16

I am talking about NUMBERS! Cold, hard facts! - Spanky KU - 11/11 16:29:57

You're inserting a bunch of irrelevant facts into a thread - ummmm MU - 11/11 16:43:48

Q: What happens to someone who doesn’t pay taxes? - Spanky KU - 11/11 16:54:39

Assuming 250 million - meatiger MU - 11/11 18:04:21

And of those who fail to file, 0.6% get caught - Spanky KU - 11/11 21:15:02

Again, you're overlooking the progression. - ummmm MU - 11/11 17:03:10

Yet you present no numbers...still - Spanky KU - 11/11 21:15:49

Then show the stats... 466,000 tax cheats every year..... - Spanky KU - 11/11 17:10:24

granishments, liens, penalty fees, interst = nothing - SwampTiger MU - 11/11 17:10:10

How many of the 466K/year got those? - Spanky KU - 11/11 17:11:28

you’re stuck. no one is talking stats - pickle MU

- 11/11 16:03:22

Then there are stats if something happened. - Spanky KU - 11/11 16:12:36

failed to pay or failed to file? - pickle MU

- 11/11 15:22:55

You asked what happens...... I answered . - Spanky KU - 11/11 15:23:58

you didn’t answer the question - pickle MU

- 11/11 15:34:45

466,000 fail to pay taxes each year... 2,866 referred - Spanky KU - 11/11 15:48:11

again, doesn’t sound voluntary - pickle MU

- 11/11 15:52:48

show me stats where i am wrong.... - Spanky KU - 11/11 15:59:20

i didn’t say your stats were wrong - pickle MU

- 11/11 16:02:44

the odds of getting caught are less than 0.6% - Spanky KU - 11/11 16:19:22

again, i don’t care about stats. Please answer the question(nm) - pickle MU

- 11/11 16:23:49

Facts scare you, don't they? - Spanky KU - 11/11 16:24:57

of course not, but as usual you aren’t on topic (nm) - pickle MU

I am on topic and you are dancing like a Boy George - Spanky KU - 11/11 16:45:05
