The sovereign citizen movement rejects the legitimacy of the government. Its fast-growing popularity has had authorities scrambling to get a handle on how far its tentacles have reached.
Unfortunately, Mr Oxby was persuaded by this theory during the seminar, which I infer from his evidence, was presented in a persuasive and charismatic manner."
He was ultimately fined $14,000.
Only the rich are allowed to avoid tax.
Oops, I mean minimise tax.
You to can get on the minimisation gravy train!
Claim that extra washing of your uniform pants that you actually forgot to do. You’ll be on a yacht in Cannes before you know it!
Why don’t they believe they need to pay tax? Because they don’t want to and some scam artist told them they didn’t have to, and they are fucking idiots.
You have to wonder where this idiocy comes from; it is people who don’t want to pay taxes so make up some Bullshit and share it online?, is it people who want to scam other people and feed them bullshit so they can make money off the gulliable?, is it people who spread disinformation because they want to see the world burn?

They’re just too crazy not to be shared.
Buncha fucking idiots parroting US nutballs.
Taxation is theft. That is just the way it is. However, one single individual or two standing out are going to get crushed. What really needs to happen is that a bunch of people like tens of thousands need to get together and all declare that they are not paying their taxes. They can easily go after one or two people, but going after tens of thousands is going to make things really hard for them.
Taxation is not theft if the money is spent properly on services that benefit tax payers. Poor taxation policy is theft, since public service quality will diminish over time. Like what we are currently seeing with lack of investment in public services, combined with an asset owning class that doesn’t pay tax on its passive wealth, using that wealth to purchase more assets, which drives up prices and shrinks the middle class. If these people had better critical thinking they would rebel against that instead.
With taxation, the individual limits themselves to poorer quality services that could be provided better by private industry. The gang requires you pay them extortion money and then they take that extortion money and fund their friends and cronies and you get poorer services as a result. Even regardless of that, your extortion that you pay also funds foreign wars. Maybe not quite so much in Australia, but especially here in the United States. Our extortion money goes to kill people that we have no reason to kill and no beef against.
Dude, the last 30 years in Australia have proved that private industry does not handle public services better than the government. Since you do not live in Australia, you cannot claim to be as informed on this as a local. I wish Americans would stop chiming in on the state of Australia as though they are experts. Your country has the worst healthcare system in the developed world.
Which is primarily the result of people being willing to pay way too much for those services. We have insurance here and since it comes out of our paychecks we don’t really think about it. The way to prevent $500 bandages or $1,000 ambulance rides is to refuse to pay it.
Man you just can’t get any first sentences right can you. Wrong again here. Completely.
poorer quality services that could be provided better by private industry.
That could is doing some heavy lifting there.
Fair, government funded services tend to lead to monopoly such as one single trash service, etc which allows the favored to charge higher prices than would be tolerated normally. Lots of small companies competing for business keeps prices low for as long as possible and inflation is the main source of increases.
“government funded services tend to lead to monopoly” I don’t think you understand the concept of monopoly lol. We are talking about a service provided by the government, not a privately owned service subsidized by the government.
Six of one-half a dozen of the other. I still only have one trash service, one power company, etc. etc. They look no different.
So advocate for better government services, taxing the ultra wealthy to pay for it, and recognising that private industry is incentivised towards benefiting shareholder profits instead of the public good. If we can drive wealth inequality down through fair taxation policy, everyone benefits and society becomes healthier and the economy becomes more dynamic. Winner winner chicken dinner.
Your first sentence is simply a lie.
