UnFair – One Night Stand Tonight – Exposing IRS Or Fair Tax Infomercial?
I spoke with Craig Bergman who is the producer and narrator of UnFair. I asked him what the main message of the film is. Even though the focus seems to be on IRS abuse, that is not what the film is ultimately about. Craig believes that the income tax is immoral and should be replaced by a consumption tax – specifically the so called Fair Tax. In Craig’s opinion angels could be running the IRS and it would still be corrupt and abusive since it violates five of the ten amendments that make up the bill of rights – specifically the First, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh and Eighth. We ran through them all together, but I’ll save that for tomorrow’s post after I see the film.
District Court Sets The Bar Lower For Accountants Than Attorneys
The court disagrees that either Hand-Bostick or Spinelli, as tax preparers, should be held to the standard of a seasoned attorney with full knowledge of statutory and case authority, and the Government has not presented any evidence or authority that persuades the court that tax preparers are held to the same standard as attorneys or are required in every instance to seek the advice of a tax attorney. Moreover, given the timing of the claimed losses and Defendants’ testimony that they thought that the deductions were appropriate at the time, the court concludes that Defendants’ conduct in this regard is not sufficiently indicative that they will continue to participate in or promote fraudulent tax credits or tax shelter schemes.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
