Your honor, I rest my case....
That's my favorite part. Like they're in a Perry Mason mystery and they've just cracked the case. You know they think they're going to drop the mike and everyone will cheer.
Yeahhhhhhh, that's not going to go how they think it's going to go.
Poor mike :(
Ehh, I’m leaving it. 🤷🏻♂️
How do you pay with federal reserve notes?
That's the technical name for dollar bills, sovcit. You hand them to the party you owe money to, and your debt is satisfied if you handed over the correct amount. You're welcome, let us know if we can answer any other questions for you.
..are exempt from taxation by a state or political subdivision of a state."
Isn't the IRS a federal agency? They are not a state or a political subdivision of a state.
This always feels like the first few iterations of chat GPT. Words, but absolutely no understanding on how to combing them.
Chat GPT is excellent at mimicking how dumb people talk.
There’s a “United States Code?!”
That's just our federal laws. For instance if you say looked at Trump's indictment from the classified documents case you'd see a bunch of stuff like "18 U.S.C. § 793(e)" which tells you what part of the United States Code he was charged with violating.
Same way as everyone else.
Honestly, makes sense. If I believed that rule of law was real, this might even stand up
It's just not though. The law is what people believe it to be
...except the IRS isn't a state agency
What is a state vs the state? It's pretty sloppy in the US... I'd need way more context at a minimum
Does it make sense? I'm not following their logic (which is normal for these)
Yes, because federal reserve notes (aka fiat currency) wasn't a thing when the basic frameworks were established. Hell, it was just straight up fraud that created it, the problem just got out of hand and so they put a bandaid on the problem... It's a fundamentally nonsensical system
There's probably tons of unpatched laws that don't take this into account, or even explicitly carve this out
Our laws are a crazy mess
Air tight!
