DOES THIS MEAN SPACE A-LIENS CAN BE CHECKED OUT AT THE COUNTY RECORDER'S OFFICE?
November 28, 2005
A judge for the Court of Federal Claims is unimpressed by the word-bending logic of Tax Honesty adherent Robert B. Beale:
Second, plaintiff maintains that he is guaranteed certain unalienable rights by the Constitution of the United States of America, among which are his rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (property)." Id. at 6 (parenthetical original). According to plaintiff, the federal government may not impose a tax or place a lien on these rights, because "unalienable rights are rights against which no lien can be established, precisely because they are un-a-lien-able."
"A-lien-ability" or not, it appears from plaintiff's filings that plaintiff failed to pay income tax in tax years 1992-1995. On March 2, 2005, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") assessed a tax lien of $456,632.67.
How can one resist such a-lien logic? By ruling against Mr. Beale, of course.
