Furthermore, as you well know there is a difference between collecting and confiscating a tax. The term collect is passive, not active. It is contra-distinctive to confiscate. For instance, a rain-barrel collects rain, a mailbox, collects mail. The rain-barrel does not confiscate rain, nor a mailbox or postal-employee the mail.</SPAN>

<P class=MsoBodyText2 style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Well-said Ice. It is not optional but mandatory that we know and comply with the Law and require the government to do the same.</o></SPAN>
