Yet another person is trying to make money from 
the desire of greed�s group to avoid supporting 
societal needs.

Rather than acknowledge why the tax system has 
been corrupted; such as Anderson seek profits 
from the delivery of options by which the 
wealthy and successful can further limit the 
amount they reluctantly contribute towards the 
development of a rational and worthwhile society.

To all: If you are determined to stop paying taxes, 
develop a moral argument, a rational and defensible 
position, to withstand the subsequent challenges 
from tax collectors, their masters and the like.

The argument/premise contained in the letters, the 
�Statement Of Claim� and my speech to the court 
leading to Decision T2020-88 of The Federal Court Of 
Canada - Trial Division meets those requirements.

My first official refusal to file tax returns or 
pay income taxes took place in 1980. 

The Canadian government then ignored all
challenges including one published June 16, 
1987 in The Toronto Star, Canada�s largest 
newspaper that dared it to use its courts, 
judges, lawyers and laws to attempt to force 
my compliance with its tax requirements. 

As expected, it ran from the challenge. It 
could not, however, ignore due process 
and the subsequent decision. 

A decision which, by operation of law, accepts 
that individuals do have an unassailable right 
and a concurrent and unavoidable duty to refuse 
to support any society so lost to the madness of 
greed as to participate in plans and preparations 
involving the will and the capacity to use nuclear 
and other weapons of mass murder against fellow 
defenceless human beings.

Any Canadian may now refuse to file tax returns or 
refuse to pay taxes by virtue of that decision with 
no fear of interference or harassment by Revenue Canada. 

While I can think of no similar manner by which 
Americans can lawfully and ethically avoid the 
payment of taxes other than by claiming that their 
humanity is of such significance to them that they 
can no longer support societal insanity; an entry at:

http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~jgadams/mail.html
 
states the following:
 
>Date: Mon, 28 Oct 1996 20:28:14 -0800

>Gee if income tax were legal why in 1991 did the 
>Supreme Court rule that if you honestly believed in 
>"not" paying income tax you cannot be sent to prison?

I offer no opinion on the validity of that �decision�
as I am not personally acquainted with the matters 
that led to its formulation. (If such a "decision"
does, indeed, exist.)

Coming soon: Taxfree: The Letters

In the New Year I shall begin posting copies of
letters written to individuals, newspapers, 
politicians and heads of state including those 
directed to Mikhail Gorbachev and containing 
the argument that led the USSR to suspend testing 
of its nuclear weapons and delivery systems in 1986
until such a time that the US decided to renew 
the insanity of tests required for fine-tuning 
of first-strike warheads and delivery systems.

I will be placing the date of each letter as 
part of the subject heading. I ask those wishing 
to correspond or post regarding those letters to 
include the indicated date in such communications. 
 
You can obtain copys of all matters relating to my 
success at court including �The Letters�, the 
�Statement of Claim�, my �Speech to The Court� 
and my book:

Mankind  //  Mancruel
A Choice //  A Duty
copyright 1995/1996 Daniel J. Lavigne

by emailing me your postal address.

Unfortunately, my method of publication is labour and delivery
intensive, leading to an increase in the price which is now
$30.00(C.O.D.). Thank you.

In a letter to Elmer MacKay, Revenue Minister, Canada, August 1986

A sun, a face . . . . .danger!
Camouflaged cowards!
Soldiers . . . . in place!

A child, a smile,
An order, a shot.
A lad, so innocent,
Is left to rot.

Participate in plans that entail preparations to 
murder hundreds of millions of human beings??
NEVER!  MR. MacKay - NEVER!    D.J.L.
