When the media refers to taxpayers, we usually think of the size of the tax bite and how much more difficult it becomes for families to survive with less money. But there's something that we haven't been told. When you read the Income Tax Act of Canada, you won't see any mention of people being referred to as "taxpayers". In fact, you won't even see the word "people" -not even the word "human being" is mentioned in any of the statute laws of Canada! Now, if the laws don't make any reference to people, then whom exactly are they referring to? Who exactly, is the "taxpayer"? What kind of a family does it belong to? To help you find the answer, I have been building a website that explores the connection between human rights that belong to people and the rights of a "taxpayer" known in law, as an entity or more precisely, an "artificial person". When relying upon the ordinary meaning of the phrase "artificial person", this translates into something that is not a human being. It's not a real person but an artificial person! The "taxpayer" isn't a real human being; it's an artificial person! I don't know about you, but this sounds alarm bells for me. The website is now on-line at: <a href="http://www.paychequeswithoutdeductions.ca">www.PaychequesWithoutDeductions.ca</a> I look forward to your comments. Pritam Singh Markham, Ontario

Welcome to Vive dear paycheques. I would not worry too much about "Taxpayers" not having human rights since they belong or should belong to the class of human beings or people afterall. I can certainly imagine the usual bureaucracies of lawyers, accountants and others getting a field day over defining what these "human rights" would be. There are dedicated "watch groups" better focused to look after the interests of taxpayers and keep our bureaucracies and the political leadership on their toes.

"We are all in this together somehow, some more than others somehow"

Oh yeah, our despot leaders have discarded the notion that taxes are for the benefit of society, be it for health care, education, infrastructure, etc. Instead they raise the taxes of the middle class and working poor, and line their crooked pockets! Think Jane Stewart, $1 billion, gone, and nobody knows where it went! No, these politicians think they are some kind of royalty who deserve to have their noses in the trough, and too bad for the rest of us! Then they turn around and tell us that the cupboard is bare, which of course, is such an obvious lie. And yes, 'rights' just get in the way of capitalism and corporate fascism, so piece by piece they look for ways to erode these rights, in one form or another.

gaulois,

Thanks for the welcome. You almost missed the point I was making. When I referred to the phrase "artificial person", try thinking of this as an inanimate object like a table. Although we are used to connecting the word "taxpayer" with people, it is an inanimate object and nothing more. Tables and taxpayers do not belong to the class of human beings or people.

Human rights have already been defined for people. Therefore, there is no need for a bureaucracy of lawyers, accountants, etc. to define human rights for "tables". However, if you the human being think of yourself as being a table, then you can do that. You can use your free will to make this choice! Just keep in mind you will not have any human rights. When you do not have any human rights, then the law will regard you as a taxpayer and you must comply with all the rules and regulations. It is a choice that you make using your free will. If you choose differently, then the money you earn can be yours. No matter what choice you make, just make sure that it is in full compliance with all the Statute laws of Canada.

Galois,

As Dr. Phil says, how is it working for you?

You have no control over the bureaucracies and the political leadership, if you do then you need to read more. Have you ever heard of the IMF? You do not get a vote when it comes to the real rulers of the world, you can only vote for the puppets. And when the puppets do not follow instructions we have seen what happens to them.

Just the way that you word your sentences it appears to me that you want to be looked after, I work with a lot of people that say things like “they should do something about that, or when are they going to make our lives better.” This is a Childs mentality I have a boo-boo someone make it better, no one is going to fix what is wrong except you. If you are waiting for they to fix it instead of reading the Income Tax Act, Canadian Bill of Rights 1960, Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Employment Standards Act, the Bank Act of Canada, the Employment Insurance Act, the Canada Pension Act, the Criminal Code of Canada, the Highway Traffic Act of your Province, the by-laws of your city or town then how are you going to know what is true and what is a lie?

As my mother use to say if you are going to shoot off your mouth then make sure that it is loaded. You criticized this man but I noticed that you did not quote any laws or regulations to back up what you were saying. If it is fact then allow people to go to the facts so that they may agree with you, if it is just your opinion then say so.

Please read what is going on in the world right now, not what the T.V. is telling you but what is really happening worldwide. Have you aver heard the term chem. trails, read what vaccinations are really about, cholesterol lowering drugs, what is hidden in the new paper money and why? Do you know what a person is in law? Do you know what a citizen is in law? Do you know what the line under your signature on your cheques say? Do you know whom the person is that has a name spelled like yours but in all capital letters mean? Do you know when you sign the bottom of your driver’s license, what you are agreeing to? Do you know what the difference between Canada the country and Canada the Incorporated Company? Do you know who the actual landowner in Canada is?

So please tell us the facts and what you think based on the facts that you have researched. But do not tell someone else that they are wrong without allowing the reader to be able to review your facts.

You should go see a doctor for this paranoia. They have drugs for that now.

Pritam:

I am very sorry if I came across as not receptive to your posting, specially on a first one. Anon certainly did not think I was and will agree on that. Different perspectives are certainly highly welcome on Vive but you should be prepared to receive peer criticism.

Do note that taxpayers are not always "human" (i.e. Corporations are supposed to pay taxes) and am not sure how often law ever refer to people or their human rights. Also following your logic, should consumers also not have "human rights"? Explicitly attaching human rights to taxpayers look like some kind of new creative loophole to evade taxes. It might even undermine what human rights are really about. I will remind you that Canadians must somehow pay a fair share for 'services" they get. I personally think that income should not be taxed but consumption should be. Of course administrating this would be a nightmare.

BTW, please do not associate my alias with my people name in your posting even though I do not hide (as you have easily found out) when I publish my articles that can be politically quite biting. For all kinds of reasons, I do not wish to have my postings readily available to google searches made on the basis of my name. There are very good reasons to use alias on an activist Internet forum and please respect them, even if you do not use one yourself.

Looking at your website, I see an interesting small business and wish you lots of success with it. Your perspective of a small business owner can certainly benefit Vive.

"We are all in this together somehow, some more than others somehow"

All I know for sure is that taxpayers are guilty until proven innocent. According to the laws governing taxation, it is not up to the tax department (what to they call it now - Canada Revenue Agency?) to prove that you owe the money; it is up to you to prove that you DO NOT owe the money.

Furthermore, in a democracy, taxation should be voluntary. Or at the very least, the taxpayer should get to choose where the taxes she/he pay should be spent. Heck, what's one more sheet of paper in a tax form? Only this one would require the taxpayer to allocate what percentage of the taxes owing has to go to what ministry. Maybe THAT would put a lid on the profligate misuse of our tax dollars.

Hoopoe,

From your research you state that all Canadians that read the law are paranoid, and all Canadians that read the law need to be on drugs. I cannot agree or disagree with your research without reading your findings.

But from my own research I must agree with you, just an example I am a member of a union that is about 1800 strong, and I have not found a single member that has read a single Canadian law; they are not paranoid or need drugs.

Where in the USA the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is sold in almost every corner store, paranoia and drugs run ramped. Most third generation Americans know the law and their rights, and are afraid because they know what the law says and what is really happening within their Country.

Please ask your friends and co-workers what Canadian Laws that they have read and are obeying within their lives. Most Canadians are going by hear say laws, laws that they have been told that exist but have never read or seen. Once you start to read Canadian law you will find that most laws that you are following do not exist, or mean something different completely.

Most Canadians do not know who the IMF is, like Mayor Mel, who is WHO.

One question that you can answer for me;

If you do not know the laws and your rights within the country in which you live, how do you protect yourself from being taken advantage of, and how do you know when you are right and someone else is wrong?

In closing if knowing the truth makes me paranoid, then I am paranoid and by knowing the truth the government wishes that I do not know the truth, and would like to put me on drugs, then yes you are right.

RPW,

If you look in the definition section of the Income Tax Act of Canada, and look up TAXPAYER you will better understand what a Taxpayer is in law.

Also if you look up the term TAXPAYER in a Legal Maxims of Canada you will better understand the reasons why you seem to be persecuted as a taxpayer.

What is hard to understand is that you are not the taxpayer; the taxpayer is an artificial legal entity just like a trust, or a corporation in law. Because you signed the wrong paperwork, you are now legally responsible for the TAXPAYER.

Hope that this helps some

I shoul leave this alone...but...

I apologise if I'm in error however, the 'article' seems more only a frame for a link to what appears to be, if not clearly stated, a 'for profit' site. Is this an appropriate use for the Vive articles area?

Also, the site seems to be depeding on DETAX 'logic'. I'd be grateful if you could guide me to any Canadian court decision that has agreed with the 'DETAX' spin on the legitimacy of Canadian government and the tax system.

"When we are in the middle of the paradigm, it is hard to imagine any other paradigm" (Adam Smith).

Calumny: I certainly noticed and made a mention of the somewhat "commercial" aspect of the link provided. Although I did not agree in general with this topic, I think it is fair to give a chance to people with small business to introduce ***tactfully*** their services. I deal with this issue frequently on more "technical" forums and the common wisdom seems to be that one can introduce a link to one's business as long as some useful insight was first provided. Blatant advertising or spam should of course not be tolerated. I do not think that it was the case. Once again I think Vive would benefit from more inputs from small business owners.

"We are all in this together somehow, some more than others somehow"

I fully agree, Gaulois re: input from small business owners.

However, if people wish to advertise their services on Vive, perhaps something could be done to provide for this in a manner that offers some support to Vive.

"When we are in the middle of the paradigm, it is hard to imagine any other paradigm" (Adam Smith).

Calumny, The site has nothing to do with "Detax". We teach people to be in complete compliance with all the Statute Laws of Canada. Canadian Income Tax is legal and constitutional. The book "Tax Me I'm Canadian" by Mark Milke & the staff of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (http://www.taxpayer.com/main/index.php), describes in detail a number of myths that have been attributed to "Detax" philosophy. If you have not already done so, I suggest you read it. Pritam Singh Markham, Ontario

RPW, You said: "All I know for sure is that taxpayers are guilty until proven innocent. According to the laws governing taxation, it is not up to the tax department (what to they call it now - Canada Revenue Agency?) to prove that you owe the money; it is up to you to prove that you DO NOT owe the money." May I ask, which law and specifically where does it say this? Pritam Singh Markham, Ontario
