Another hitpiece against “sovereign citizens”
Here’s another article from main(lame)stream media attacking people like us as cults and a social nuisance.
Sometimes I do admit that I get a bit of negativity in my mind when I experience a setback on using rules of equity against the incumbent system.
For example, out of 6 of my relatives and friends who employed the method to minimise tax expense by putting sustenance into “Other work related expenses”, 1 flagged an ATO audit and received a notice of rejection with a 50% penalty. I’d call that a 83% rate of success which isn’t too bad. It is possible the ATO could come back to the other 5 to audit them but the cash is in our pockets/bank accounts, correct?
However, the roadblocks we encounter can get us down. It’s not as straightforward as it’s made out to be when we first signed up. And I know many who get their first rejection and increase in penalty will think this is a scam.
Perhaps it is, but is the legal system not a bigger scam, only that it has guns and a compromised court that works on their side?
Regarding that hitpiece claiming that lives are ruined, that is only true if one seeks to make a move out of potential greed and fail. For example, is it not true that the maximum penalty you can bear is 4 times the amount of damages?
If that is the case, every time you seek to venture out to make a move suggested in this site or elsewhere, make sure you calculate whether you can bear the burden if it backfires. Treat every move you make as a legal punt and that you are using the balance of probabilities to ensure you never lose more than you can bear.
Then you are less likely to become one of the people mentioned in these hitpieces. And you can take pleasure at these reporters and the smug commenters who envy the fact that we can see above the bar-less jail we live in and enjoy the benefits of the risk we were willing to bear.
God bless,
