"The preservation of a free government requires, not merely that the metes and bounds which separate each department of power be invariably maintained, but more especially that neither of them be suffered to overleap the great barrier which defends the rights of the people. The rulers who are guilty of such encroachment exceed the commission from which they derive their authority, and are TYRANTS. The people who submit to it are governed by laws made neither by themselves nor by an authority derived from them and are slaves….." -James Madison
"It is difficult to get a man to understand
something when his salary depends on him not understanding
it." THE TRUTH ABOUT THE INCOME TAX revealed in 'Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America' (CtC) is NOT a matter of opinion, interpretation, speculation or fancy. CtC presents a simple syllogistic progression based entirely on easily-verified, indisputable facts. The facts involved in CtC's framework can be called "legal facts" perhaps, since they pertain to legal proceedings, relations and claims of various kinds. But this does not mean that any of these facts are matters of some legal interpretation. Instead, these core facts are simple, concrete realities entirely unreachable by judicial construction, opinion or interpretation. Because the core realities upon which CtC is founded are the bedrock that they are, any and all efforts to deny the book's revelations end up being exercises in misrepresentation, distortion and dissembling, as well as graduate-level examples of how to take material out of context either in a deliberate effort to deceive or out of a simple failure to understand that context. CtC's revelations are not disputed in these exercises-- they are creatively evaded, often by world-class twisters holding office precisely because of their skills at deception and evasion. This is true whether the denial effort is that of a judge, an attorney or an anonymous troll on a website. All such efforts, though, however creative and however shamelessly mendacious, founder on the rock-hard core facts. HERE ARE SOME OF THOSE FACTS (and please follow the links provided to see the proofs): Fact: The United States Constitution prohibits capitations and other direct taxes, except when laid according to the rule of apportionment. Fact: The Sixteenth Amendment does not repeal or modify these constitutional provisions-- it does not mention either of them at all, nor makes any claim to cause any such repeal or modification. Further, the US Supreme Court has said repeatedly that the amendment has no such effect. Fact: "Capitations and other direct taxes" are taxes "raised on the capital or revenue of the people", with "capitations" in particular being taxes laid on: "all that comes in"; "every different species of revenue"; "the fortune or revenue of each contributor"; "the [common-meaning] wages of labour"; "what is supposed to be one's fortune [per] an assessment which varies from year to year"; or "[an assessed percentage] of [one's] supposed [commonly-defined] income". Fact: The "income tax" is not laid according to the rule of apportionment. Inescapable consequence of the indisputable facts above: What is [lawfully] taxed under the unapportioned "income tax" does not and cannot reach "the capital or revenue of the people"; "all that comes in"; "every different species of revenue"; "the fortune or revenue of each contributor"; "the [common-meaning] wages of labour"; "what is supposed to be one's fortune [per] an assessment which varies from year to year"; or "[an assessed percentage] of [one's] supposed [commonly-defined] income". Instead, the unapportioned "income tax" necessarily can involve only a subclass of revenue distinguished from "the capital or revenue of the people" and "every species of revenue" by a definite, specialized and limiting characteristic. Further, it cannot be on anything which makes the tax EFFECTIVELY reach undistinguished revenue. WHAT'S MORE, Fact: The "income tax" is a federal excise. Fact: The subject of the "income tax" excise cannot be-- de jure or de facto-- the unprivileged, common generation, receipt, possession or transmission of capital or revenue. Were it so laid, the tax would be a capitation and would require apportionment, and be unlawful if, and to the degree it had been, administered otherwise. Fact: Excise-subjects involve the exercise of privilege. Fact: Everything specifically described in the tax law as subject to the tax is distinguished from the broad class of all similar things by being involved with the exercise of a federal privilege. Inescapable consequence of the indisputable facts above: Federal excises are taxes on the gainful exercise of a privilege granted by the federal government (which has, by virtue of its contribution to the gains through the granting of the privilege, a legitimate claim to a piece of the action). NOTE: The cognitive failure suffered by most folks who have difficulty grasping the true nature of the tax is to mistakenly imagine that the term "income" appearing in tax law and in judicial consideration of the tax must have the "unspecialized, all revenue that comes in" meaning of the commonly-used word (and to therefore struggle to harmonize with this meaning all else found in the law, such as by imagining to see "also" in places where it doesn't actually appear). The reality is that in the context of the tax, "income" (and related terms and provisions) have-- and can have-- only the limited, nuanced meanings by which the tax is able to conform to the foregoing immutable facts. The following little syllogism illustrates this:
It is with those conformant meanings and requirements in mind that the rest of the law must be considered and construed. Unsurprisingly, once this cognitive glitch is overcome, every single thing about the tax becomes startlingly clear and rational; more, with "income" construed as the core facts require, everything about the tax harmonizes fully with our founding principles, as well. *** I'M TOLD THAT A FEDERAL TAX COURT JUDGE issued a "memorandum" just last week in which he spends 31 pages attacking me and railing against CtC! I'm just guessing, but I'll bet that's about 5 times as much writing as the average entire judicial output in the disposition of a case. We can all be heartened by this extraordinary effort. Like others of its kind, this sweaty exercise is indicative of just how profoundly dangerous to its "ignorance-tax" gravy-train the state recognizes CtC to be-- because of how right the state actually recognizes CtC to be (as is proven for the [a X 10,000th] time by this week's Real American Heroes honored further down this page). Eventually, even the sleeping media is going to wake up and start reading between these lines. Interestingly, CtC wasn't even in evidence in the case in which this remarkable judicial agitation displays itself. The verbose judge apparently just decided to use his ruling in the case as an occasion to make a name for himself within his little special-interest world, like a 17th Century priest including a screed against Copernicus in his Sunday sermon. I probably don't need to mention where this guy's salary comes from... "First, they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -Mahatma Gandhi

If You Have, Aren't You Really, Really Glad YOU'VE Taken Control Of How Much Of YOUR Money Washington Gets To Spend, Just As The Founders Intended?
If You Haven't, ARE YOU CRAZY??!!
Seriously! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??
LEARN the liberating, empowering, critically-important truth about the 16th Amendment and the liberating, empowering, critically-important truth about the "income" tax. STOP merely reading (or writing) about how bad things are and START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Now, More Than Ever, It's Time To Learn The Truth About The Tax! AS THE STATE GOES EVER-MORE ROGUE, it is ever more important that American men and women step up and cut back the beast's rations, as the Founders meant for them to do, and relied upon them to do. That discipline is the only peaceful, functional remedy for a circumstance like ours today, in which the political process has been captured by enemies of the Constitution and the judiciary is either entirely corrupt and co-opted or is intimidated into silence for lack of sufficiently-evident resolve among the people. Accordingly, this week I updated my 2006 introductory film, 'It's Time To Learn The Truth', and added 15 minutes of inspirational words from some serious CtC Warriors. Find it below and on YouTube's site here. PLEASE! Watch it through, and then spread it to everyone, like your liberty depends on it. It does.

What CtC Means To Most Americans, By The Numbers THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TAX lies primarily in its disciplinary effect on the state, and its embodiment of the essential relationship between state and citizen uniquely articulated in the Declaration of Independence and codified in our various constitutions. But of course there's a purely pragmatic, "keepin' the fuel for YOUR fire instead of letting the collective's capos, clients and cronies heat THEIR houses instead" side of the thing, too. Here are some generic calculations of how the truth about the tax revealed in CtC will serve that "pragmatic" interest for Americans. Three typical levels of annual earnings are analyzed-- $60k, $85k and $110k. (These were chosen for simplicity's sake, as you will see-- those at other levels can extrapolate with varying degrees of accuracy, but probably close enough for government work...). Shown are how millions of those acting in ignorance (or fear) will typically calculate and make themselves liable for the hit at the end (in $ and %) using the "standard deduction" and presuming the earnings would be mischaracterized as "wages" (as the term is defined in tax law). The top calculations are for a single person; the second set are for a married couple with two children. The "line" numbers are the corresponding lines where the entries would appear on a 2013 Form 1040; to the right are the line descriptions. The "indiv. FICA" figure is what gets taken off the top (but is still taxed separately as "income" as though it had been paid to the worker); the "matching FICA" is what the companies for which these folks work is paying out to have them working there, in its own exercise of ignorance, and which would otherwise be part of their pay (seeing as the worker is necessarily producing its value along with everything he or she is nominally being paid).
NEEDLESS TO SAY, THESE ARE BIG NUMBERS and represent a lot of opportunity pointlessly lost for anyone not subject to the tax but not knowing the truth. For the married with children, the amount lost here each year is what it would cost to put one or both of those kids through college or vocational school for a year, or support them during an apprenticeship. For any of these folks, the amount lost is enough to replace an old car or renovate part of the house without going into debt, to make serious investments toward retirement or in an independence-producing business enterprise, to look after an aging parent, to support a worthy charity or ministry, or even just to enjoy a magnificent, enriching vacation. But these things are only possible if the money stays in its maker's pocket, where it belongs, by right and by law. Ignorance is such a shame. And SO expensive... “Although all men are born free, slavery has been the general lot of the human race. Ignorant--they have been cheated; asleep--they have been surprised; divided--the yoke has been forced upon them. But what is the lesson?…the people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government they should watch over it....It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free.” -James Madison

Don't Keep A Bushel Over Your Candle!! I HAD A CONVERSATION THE OTHER DAY with a warrior still waiting for his first victory, and who is instead being put through an obnoxious stall-and-distract "frivolous" routine (along with his warrior wife). This recently-retired professional man has done everything to comprehensively uphold the law, even going back as far as possible to correct his business filings as well as his personal ones, but so far with no joy. My correspondent had suing on his mind, and wisely so-- the stall-and-distract "frivolous" assertions are calculated to occupy their target while the two-year window to launch a suit to compel the issuance of a thus-far unmade refund closes, and these folks aren't going to get foiled by that cheap ploy. So, I encouraged my friend to proceed, with all possible dispatch. At the same time, though, and more vehemently still, I urged this good man to another, parallel activity which I think even more virtuous, since it offers direct benefit to everyone: WRITING UP HIS STORY FOR PUBLICATION!! Thinking about what this wonderful couple has been put through, I was struck hard by how compelling their story is as evidence of the truth about the tax-- just as is the story of every carefully-scrupulous educated filer and claimant whose claims are being evaded with the manifestly inapt, obviously-dodgy "frivolous" bs. I was also struck by the realization that those who have been victimized by this run-around don't understand the power of their stories! My correspondent said as much to me when I brought up the idea of him writing up his story for his local paper, and/or posting in one place or another on the internet; his initial response was that, 1. He HAD thought about writing it up, but as a book; and 2. He didn't want to write it up until he had gotten a favorable resolution of the matter, thinking that only then would it be a virtuous story to tell. No, no, NO! Both of these notions-- that the whole tale could fill a book, and that it is desirable to be able to report a victory at the end of the story-- are understandable. But both overlook the very important facts that a 1500-word article will get read, while a book might not; a 1500-word article will get written, while a book might never be (and in any event, won't get written and out there NOW, while the need is immediate and high); and the story of illegitimate resistance to a CtC-educated claim is just as powerful an educational tool as a victory-- maybe even more powerful. I ask you all, would the civil-rights movement have gotten the attention it did if the only people who ever told their stories were those NOT subjected to manifest abuse? If Rosa Parks' story had been, "Well, a white guy came on board and demanded that I give up my seat in the front of the bus to him. I refused, and he gave up and went to the back himself," do you think her experience would have inspired anyone to pay attention? More to the point here, evasions are evidence of truths-- just as much so as are admissions or capitulations. Those of you who are attentive will have noted that while most of the EWWBL episodes I post end up as victories, I also post those that are not-- because an unfounded or transparently-evasive dodge by the government is just as much evidence of what the law actually requires as is a surrender to that requirement. When you can show your opponent doing the equivalent of muttering, "Yeah, THAT's the ticket...!" you are showing that he's lying. When you show that he's lying, you are showing that the truth is not on his side, and IS on your side. I REALIZE THAT EXPLAINING HOW THE STATE'S AGENTS ARE LYING is not as easy as simply announcing a victory. But it IS just as compelling to those we need to reach, and in some ways, more so. Despite its ever-increasing ludicrousness, there are still some who cling to the feeble "denial" notion that CtC victories are just a [ten years long, tens of thousands of occasion] "slip through the cracks". These folks convince themselves that CtC-educated victories don't happen because they should, but only happen by accident. But that "it's all been a big mistake" notion, even as deeply delusional as those who resort to it are willing to be, can find no traction when facing demonstrable outside-the-law behavior by the state in response to CtC-educated claims. No one can argue that gimmicked "frivolous" notices making fake and deliberately incorrect references to statutory language, for example, are "slips through the cracks"! SO, HERE'S THE THING, PEOPLE: This community really needs to become a very vocal, very widely-published community of revelatory voices-- RIGHT NOW. Every one of you needs to get busy bearing witness to the truth-- trumpeting your victories and denouncing any and all law-defying, truth-revealing evasion of the truth by its enemies. As I counseled my correspondent the other day, every one of us must write our 1500-word testimonials. Write them for consumption NOT by me or by the CtC-educated, but for reading (or watching-- video stories, even just of you reading or telling your story are great) by those not yet equipped with the liberating truth about the tax. Get them out there-- in your hometown paper, your newsgroups, your chatrooms and your blogs. Email them around, and copy me, please. The ice is breaking, because lies only hold up until the weight of the truth becomes too much for them, but it has a way of hardening back up if the pressure upon it doesn't grow. If all you've had are victories, sing them out! If you've had resistance, sing that out, just as loudly. Use the resources on this site. You don't have to analyze any evasions to which you might have occasion to refer-- just describe them with an eye to pointing out that they are unmistakably knowing and deliberate, and provide the URL at which they can be read about here as the means for explaining how they are manifestly contrary to the law. Understand that EVERY state reaction to CtC IS A RESOURCE on behalf of communicating and emphasizing the liberating truth. But only if you put it out there... Care to post a comment on this article?

What Makes YOU A Warrior For The Truth? We each have our reasons, and our story. It's time, and it's needed, for you to share yours with the world. Everyone's failure to step up and fulfill this simple request is really getting to me, now...
"The day we see truth and do not speak is the day we begin to die." -Martin Luther King, Jr.
What does it for you?
Is it simply because no moral and upstanding person has any choice when it comes to telling the truth over his or her signature, whether on tax forms or anywhere else?
Is it recognition of the critical importance of the rule of law, and the knowledge that if everybody leaves its caretaking to someone else, it will soon be lost to us completely?
Is it the money?
Maybe it's just simple respect for your own rights as a human being, who is not and cannot be not involuntarily subordinated to others?
Maybe it's just simple respect for your general civic responsibility to be the grown-up and enforce frugality and restraint on a big, powerful creature of our own devising which otherwise is like a badly-raised teenage boy given whiskey and car keys and let loose on the road to wreak havoc?
Or is it, perhaps, a more acute anxiety that if our bonfire of a state isn't damped, and quickly, it'll soon burn down the house around us all?
What IS it that firms up your jaw and stiffens your resolve?
It's time to take off the bushel and share your light!
I would like you to think about what it is that motivates you for a few moments (or all day, if you like), and then send me your thoughts. I want to put YOUR reasons to work inspiring folks who don't yet understand what this is all about.
In this day and age, the most effective way for you to share your thinking for the benefit of others is to video-record yourself talking about how you feel, and explaining what inspires and motivates YOU.
All you need is a webcam or cell-phone equipped with a camera. If you don't have, or know how to use, one of these, have a friend help.
If needed, write a little script for yourself. Better, though, to just speak extemporaneously, after spending a little time sorting out your thoughts and getting down into your heart.
Keep yourself to no more than 2 or 3 minutes, and keep in mind that the purpose is not to educate, but to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE and ENERGIZE. Your video will be one of many to be shared.
You needn't feel any obligation to be profound, and you shouldn't try to explain anything about the law, other than to say that you have read it and you know it's on your side. You just need to be sincere, and uplifting. Your object is to make your audience want to have what you have, and to be where you are in your heart.
Keep in mind that you're speaking to an audience that doesn't yet know ANYTHING about the subject, and whose first reaction is, "This must be illegal; this must be dangerous; this is too good to be true." You want to pull that audience right past such things, and straight to a focus on truth, morality, and our American heritage of liberty and the rule of law.
Remember: INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE, ENERGIZE.
Speak about rights. Speak about morality, and the obligation of a grown-up and responsible person to speak the truth and to enforce the Constitution. Speak about everyone's duty to give to God what is God's, always, and to Caesar only what is really Caesar's. Speak of your obligation to respect yourself, and to look out for the current and future well-being of your children and your fellow citizens.
If you have had victories, describe them. Better still, show them, if possible.
Be clear about just what you accomplished: EVERYTHING back-- Social Security, Medicare and all; a "notice of deficiency" closing notice; an on-paper agreement or acknowledgment that your earnings weren't subject to the tax and everything withheld or paid-in was an "overpayment"; a transcript showing all $0s; or whatever happened.
When you speak of state victories, name the state. If you had to overcome balkiness from a tax agency before winning any victory, describe that, too!
Remember, your purpose is to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE and ENERGIZE.
If you're dealing with ongoing balkiness, describe that, too, if you wish-- but be sure to explain why you're not discouraged, and why you are not standing down, not slinking back into the barn, and not choosing to endorse the lies.
Mention what you do for a living, whether you're a doctor, homemaker, lawyer, trucker, IT guy or gal, or a retiree or student. Help people understand that the company of grown-up activist Americans they are being invited to join cuts across all demographics and all interests-- with the common denominator being respect for the law and love of the principles on which this great country was founded.
This is your chance to get a LOT accomplished.
We've all had frustrating occasions of trying to explain all this to a friend, neighbor, family member or co-worker, only to pile up against the wall of a mind not yet ready to listen and learn. Here is your chance to address a self-selected audience of folks who have themselves decided that it's time for them to begin paying attention, and have clicked on your testimonial for exactly that reason.
So, please make and send those videos right away! The restoration of institutional respect for individual rights and the rule of law depends on enough individuals insisting upon it. Do your part to let those starting to rub the sleep from their eyes know that there is a community already waiting for their fellowship with open arms and open hearts and shining spirits.
See how some of your fellow warriors for the truth have done their parts here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead

Project Paradigm-Shift
IN ANOTHER ARTICLE ON THIS PAGE I SPOKE OF
AMERICAN HERO EDWARD SNOWDEN, who is now rightly celebrated for
his efforts at spreading an important truth. I hope YOU
are doing YOUR part at being an American Hero by
spreading
this
link far and wide! Anything
and everything must be done to get it into a state of viral
distribution across America.
I am counting on you to help make this happen by sending everyone this link.
Seriously, my friend. Even if you never do "action items",
please do this one.
You may not recognize how doing this will make any difference. I tell you, it will make ALL the difference.
This document is the anti-body to all the germs of error, disinformation and misunderstanding that allow the "ignorance tax" to persist. It needs to be given a chance to take root in as many minds as possible-- especially those NOT in the CtC community.
In many of these minds, perhaps, this truth anti-body will wither for lack of a hospitable environment. But in just as many, it will flourish and bloom, and those folks will become the patient and innovative teachers of others.
Pleas help me with this oh-so-important project.
P. S. I know a lot of folks out there have self-defeating notions planted in their minds about how clearing up confusion about the "income tax" won't matter, "'Cause they'll just pay for all the badness with inflation, man!" or whatever.
No, they won't.
If "they" could do that and survive politically, (and weren't getting a whole lot more out of the maladministration of the "income tax" than just a couple of trillion dollars a year, as well), the tax would've been dropped with a grimace and without a backward glance like the universally-hated thing that it is, at least forty years ago. This "they'll just inflate" thing could only be said by someone not old enough (or alive at all) during the 1970s when we had a test of just how Americans would tolerate real inflation...
(Not that we're going to be spared getting a good dose of inflation soon anyway, you understand, unless we very quickly shrink the state down so small that it no longer has the resources to quash the emergence of free and valid currencies. This will only happen by Americans reclaiming individual control of their resources, as is relied upon by the framers in their design for a meaningfully-Constitutionally-limited republic-- and that, of course, is what this page is all about.)
The misunderstanding of the income tax is the thoroughly cultivated thing that it is (and anyone reading through this page will come to understand just how diligent is that cultivation) BECAUSE THE MISAPPLIED TAX IS THE INDISPENSABLE LIFEBLOOD OF THE UNRESTRAINED STATE. The state knows this well.
Indeed, the reason the truth about the tax is hedged about with a more enormous army of lies (and constantly-recruited "stakeholding" defenders) than any other organ of the state is because it is so vital to Leviathan's excesses, ambitions and survival. It is the heart of the monster.
This document is the monster's bane. Your efforts to spread this shaft of illuminating, inspiring and disinfecting sunlight will do more for your future well-being and that of your children than anything else you could do.

from Critical Inquiries for a New American Century
Bob’s Bicycles or Getting Free Of The "Income" Tax Scheme Is As Easy As Falling Off A Bike
To get an idea of how today's "income" tax scheme works, try this little exercise:
Think of the federal government as a guy named Bob, who lives down the street from you in a town that is really big on bicycles. Bikes get used for commuting, deliveries, shopping, etc.. In fact, other than walking, bicycles are the exclusive form of transportation in your town. Your neighbor Bob has a by-the-mile bicycle-renting business-- "Bob's Bicycles". Bob's Bicycles is far and away the biggest business in town. Part of Bob’s success is because he does a lot of contract business. However, Bob doesn't just get paid by riders who have signed an agreement with him, or even just those using Bob's bikes. Bob gets something every time anybody in town does any riding at all, through an odd combination of circumstances that took many years to come together.
Here's how it happened...
Bob's Bicycles was launched long ago by the great grandfather of the present Bob (Bob IV). Great Grandpa Bob started out not only with a main location for his contract business-- he also had the bright idea of setting up spots around town where he parked some of his bikes for use by the more occasional rider, on an "honor system". Anyone could take and use one of these bikes, but they were expected to keep track of their mileage, and send Bob a "1040 Mileage Ridden/Rent Due Form" (and the appropriate rent), periodically. The initial design of the form was like this:
I said that Great Grandpa Bob planned to deal with these occasional riders on the "honor system", and that's true. But he liked his money, too, and didn't want to miss anything that was due him. So, after setting up the "self-serve" locations, Great Grandpa Bob went around handing out "W-2, 1099 or K-1 Rider Reporting Forms" to every other business in town. The forms-- accompanied by notices that if Bob didn't get his rent from someone riding a bicycle in connection with any business, he would sue the company involved-- said:

A "Pragmatic" Perspective On The Tax And The Rule Of Law
Hey, don't bother me with that "morality" argument, and all that stuff about "upholding the rule of law". I'm a pragmatist. I'm just interested in looking out for "numero uno", and living my life without any hassles from the IRS!
So I'm okay with submissively letting the government:
-- just as long as I'm left alone, dude!
To suffer abuse without complaint or struggle is to suffer it nonetheless-- but to suffer it without the amelioration of dignity and self-respect. |

A Few Tips For Making Best Use Of This WebSite
USE THE SITE MAP AT www.losthorizons.com/IncomeTaxSiteMap.htm!!!
USE THE SITE SEARCH PAGE AT www.losthorizons.com/search.htm!!!
When directed to a page by topic or link, read everything.
I know that this can mean the investment of a lot of time, attention and effort, but although some may imagine otherwise, I don't write as much as I do because I can't think of any other way to spend my time...
Furthermore, when you encounter a hyperlink within, or associated with, the text you are reading, follow it!
It is pretty common these days for web-based material to be littered with hyperlinks. Sometimes the purpose is to provide definitions or examples, in order to ensure that folks reading the original material aren't presented with a word or reference which they don't understand. Sometimes the links lead to illustrations pertinent to the original text.
It is common-- and perfectly understandable-- for folks who are confident that they are familiar with language or references within the main text they are reading to get in the habit of skipping over included links. I do it all the time, myself!
However, I very rarely include links for definitional or explanatory purposes; and when I DO make a link out of text in one page it is generally to another self-contained page, rather than merely illustrative material. These other pages contain material the clear understanding of which I deem highly important for the proper and complete understanding of the original page. (Links to CtC, the Victories pages, CtC Warriors and so on are obvious exceptions to this general rule. On the other hand, a link to the victory Highlights or 'Every Which Way But Loose' pages, which might seem like such exceptions, are not. The special selection of victories on those pages, and the filed docs and tax-agency correspondences included therewith, themselves constitute highly instructive material which merits careful attention. Thus care needs to be taken in all cases.)
Please make a habit of clicking on all provided links and at least looking briefly to ensure that the linked page is one with which you are completely familiar from another study session.
Finally, please keep in mind that, annoying though it may seem at first blush (but not, I trust, upon reflection), I constantly tweak material already posted. Obviously this doesn't mean that every page is in flux at all times, but it does mean that if you are directed to a page that IS familiar, it's worthwhile to read it through again if it's been a while since your last having done so.
