  OP, How do you get stealing from "doubled the house from the original blue print plans."?

  And there is no such thing as stealing from the government as they don't have the right to anything anyway.

  The government steals from everyone by demanding tax when they don't earn it.

  The government is politicians who are liars and thieves.

  But I am frustated about how my wife, who is a pioneer, does not work, but will run up the credit card with her pioneer friends

  and gas and do other congregation things.

  Or how about this?

  I employed an inlaw for years, found out she was overbilling her hours, fired her.

  She collected unemployment for as long as she could, I had to pay the tax credits, and she pioneered the entire time.

  And lied about me to everyone, I mean everyone, she knew; she trashed me to my competitors, my insurance agents, can't think of anyone she didn't call up.

  This was after I had agreed to cover her insurance for 3 months after her termination so she could have her knee surgery.

  But by her twisted ethics, she is a good 'christian'.

  Pistoff, I had family rip us off tens of thousands of dollars, my conclusion is physical family are option in this World now. I am exhausted of listening to the lie that "JWs are the best people in the World" when I personally have heard more confessions of theft, infidelity, tax cheating, other frauds in Government programs. The Watchtower has limited control of her members, they are obedient as long as it can provide them with a "spiritual materialistic outlook", the basic JW is not concerned about "Grace", "Love", "Compassion" only what can personally work for them!

  Rattigan who is suppose to pay for the Military? Schools for kids ages 5-18? Provide loans for students to grow the Economy with Hi-Tech Jobs, adding revenue stream. Should the Government collect taxes to pay the injured military soldiers or should we toss them on the street? What is your opinion of Anarchy, good or bad?

  A rancher decides to turn his 3000 acres into a Nuclear Waste Dump next to your house. The US Government has no right to impose on his Freedom, he should be allowed to pump as much waste into the ground as the Chemical and Nuclear Plants provide him. When you and your animals are glowing, mutating and loaded with cancer, why blame anyone when it's a Free Country to pursue wealth and profit at all cost?

  Back to the OP-ED, when a tax-payer applies for a permit to build a home, they give the County a blueprint of the planned project. I provided the County with a blueprint of 2500 square feet. I have a second blueprint I provide for all my JW Construction workers 4500 square ft and my taxes are based off the 2500 square ft home, (Property Taxes are used for School) not the 4500 square ft bump up I made.

  The inspectors must have been bribed, no other solution exists to allow this much fraud! The same JW who lied is up and running to a top slot coming soon, he has been awesome at stealing and cheating others out of money, his brothers and Cesar!

  Report them. You can do it by mail, anonymously, if you want. Enabling them to avoid living by the rules all us humans have to live by just solidifies their perception they are special.

  The military and people who work for the govenment earn their money. But I'm just saying that if a business or person had a good business year, then the government would demand more of that through income taxes. But what did the government do to earn it? If someone won millions in lottery, the government gets a big cut. For what? What did they do to earn it?

  If I make a million, then Coca Cola doesn't automatically get some of it, but the government does. Why? The government should be like a business and those who use it should fund it.

  There doesn't need to be a military; why can't everyone just get along? (Vote for Rodney King.)

  Rattigan350: You are too smart to play by the Government or IRS exacting rules, that's why you use a professional tax-planner or C.P.A. who is worth their fees in gold.

  When alarmists we listen to speak of the top tax bracket of 39.7% Federal and State (depending on each State, this varies) California is 10.3% they are not discounting all the methods we can use to lower our MAGI, I don't know anyone who pay's the top rates I spoke of. The last person I helped work on his forms his Gross Income was $346,000 and we lowered it down alot!

  Christians are legally allowed to "avoid taxes" using every legal method (The IRS and Congress have provided the person making $250,000 to $5,000,000 per year plenty of methods and strategies), what I speak of is "evasion of taxes" our business savy elder cheats on. From the IRS to local municipalites. Jehovah's Witnesses I have helped in the past, are the first to line up at the "unemployment line" to collect the monies paid out of their check. Their speed and agility of navigating the Public Bennies is second to no other religion.

  Is it wrong for Christians to evade taxes, depends on your religion I suppose. Some JWs would lie and say their employees were "Independant Contractors (making $7 a hour)" which was easily disproved by the litmus test the IRS gauges" There is a cleaner-window-janitor that would 1099 his employee every year, he paid the worker minimum wage and tried to force the employee to pay "Self-Employment Tax" ( The elder was adament that he was not going to pay until I called the IRS for this teenage brother, the elder finally paid the taxes he owed "less the workers compensation fees he would not pay".). and did not pay W.C. premiums. JWs in my experience with taxes are not as honest as they say.

  There is something in the air with all the Jehovah Witnesses I am aquainted with, in psycho-babble it's known as "Mental Discombobulation" but I personally think it is running deeper than anyone here on JWN can imagine. The Organization was never meant to last more than 100 years so is it possible their animal instincts are taking over control of their skin-shallow "New Personality"? In time the above elder and the rest of the crooked ones will have a detailed letter sent to appropriate authorites and I would like to post it on JWN to show you how evil men and women who claim to be righteous really are.

  What makes a man or woman think going to a "Kindgom Hall" meeting, fumbling around town like Mr. Magu is enough to take away their willful sins against Jesus Christ?

  wha happened?

  From Ceaser? How about any employer? How about an Employer who is also a JW. Listenning to some people who have worked for me, they talked about working for x amount of time, then quitting and getting govt aid. Then when it runs out, back to work for a time. And then of course, stealing from me
