Income Tax Assignment
Mr. Masen,
The other week, you contacted my firm to ask for representation when you appeared in court for your failure to pay any taxes, specifically the income tax. I am writing you to inform you that after much research and deliberation from my team and I that my firm cannot morally represent you in a case such as this.
If you have paid much attention to the news, Mr. Masen, then you have heard that the United States is very much in a ton of debt. Just this year the debt has reached sixteen trillion. That is fifty-two thousand, four hundred and one dollars, and it isn’t going to get any better. The government isn’t going to get better if people don’t get pay their taxes. The United States uses the tax money to help pay off some of the debt but if the money isn’t there, then that can’t plausibly happen, now can it. They also use the taxes for school costs, road construction, and funding the military. Without schools, your children cannot get a good education, without roads you cannot go places like work or the grocery store, and without the military there would be nothing to protect us from foreign nations’ attacks. If you chose not to pay your taxes, Mr. Masen, you are saying that you do not support the groups and projects that I have listed above.
It has also been listed in the United States Constitution several times that Congress has the right to tax you in order to collect money to pay off debt. The sixteenth amendment states that Congress has the right to levy and collect an income tax from every citizen of the United States. What makes you so special that you think that you don’t need to follow the laws and guidelines that our forefathers set up?
I wish you a good life and luck in all your future endeavors. I also hope that even though we cannot represent you at the time you will chose to involve us in future legal troubles that you may find yourself in.
Best Wishes,
