Dentist: I Don't Have to Pay Taxes

The Ledger reports:

A Lakeland children's dentist, representing herself at her trial on charges of tax evasion, insisted Wednesday she is not subject to federal law and shouldn't be forced to pay income taxes.

Federal prosecutors say Dr. Nancy Montgomery-Ware didn't pay taxes on more than $1 million in income in 2000 and 2001, and didn't file federal income tax returns in 2002, 2003, and 2004, when she earned between $500,000 and $730,000 per year.

She was indicted in April by a federal ground jury on two counts of tax evasion and three counts of failing to file an income tax return. If convicted, she could have to trade her lucrative dental practice for up to 13 years in a federal prison.

Montgomery-Ware claims she doesn't have to pay federal income taxes because she is a "domiciled resident" of the state of Florida and not a citizen of the United States. In fact, she said, most people who live in the U.S. are not legally obligated to pay the federal income tax.

The dentist is about to find about that taxes aren't "contributions","dues",or any other voluntary type payment.Taxes are forced payments by a monopolist.
