Hi ya, GP!


Yeah, this sort of stuff falls under the, "Well, you know what we meant" line of defense, right? I.E., I love reading the Virginia Tax Commissioner's rulings. No matter what "protest" or question of law is brought before him, he always, always, always, finds a way to turn the whole thing around and always, always, always rules against the "taxpayer."


As I recently wrote to an agent acting on behalf of the Virginia Department of Taxation, "...minus the power to enforce, the&law is just words...."


So no matter how obviously ridiculous THEIR "interpretation" of things is, agents can, and always do, simply fall back on their power to enforce their "interpretation" upon the rest of us.


Years ago, in a debate about Martial Art philosophy, one chap accused me of (get ready), playing "semantical word games."


Now, I'm gonna go ask my pick-up when it opened a checking acount.....
