Kleine Kopfnuss zum Wochenende - speziell für dottore

-->Giralgeld ist kein gesetzliches Zahlungsmittel. Dies gilt natürlich auch für elektronisches Giralgeld und alle elektronischen Edelmetallwährungen, wie e-gold etc. Die Annahme beruht auf freiwilliger Vereinbarung und auf der Hoffnung, dass ein Anderer es ebenfalls freiwillig als Zahlung akzeptiert. Wie passt das zur Machttheorie des Geldes?

Ist diese Theorie nicht ohnehin nur auf den Nationalstaat begrenzt und wird also mit zunehmender Globalisierung als Erklärungsmodell immer bedeutungsloser?

Im Anhang noch ein hübsches praktisches Beispiel, wie die Amerikaner den illegalen Abgabenzwang des Staates konkret im Rahmen des Rechtsstaates unterlaufen, statt sich Gedanken zu machen, warum staatlicher Zwang (Erpressung) unabwendbar ist.

A Lake Mary chiropractor beat the IRS this week when a
federal judge in Orlando threw out an income tax evasion
case against her.

It was the second time in 11 years that Lois Somerville
of Advanced Chiropractic Clinic has defeated a case
against her for lack of evidence.

"She is extremely relieved and grateful the ordeal is
over," said lawyer Steven L. Sands of Daytona Beach, who
defended the case with his brother and fellow attorney,
Kenton V. Sands of Orlando.

The victory came late Tuesday afternoon on the fifth day
of trial when U.S. District Judge Patricia C. Fawsett
issued a judgment of acquittal before the case went to
the jury.

"Essentially, she felt the government was unable to prove
their case beyond a reasonable doubt," said Sands, who
would not comment further on Fawsett's decision.

A spokesman for the Department of Justice tax division in
Washington, D.C., could not be reached.

In September, Somerville was charged in a federal
indictment with evading taxes from 1990 through 1998. If
convicted, she had faced up to five years in prison and
$1.25 million in fines.

The indictment charged her with reporting as little as
$1,000 to at most $6,000 in each of those years. The
indictment did not specify the amount of taxes, penalties
and interest she was charged with evading.

Prosecutors with the tax division of the U.S. Department
of Justice claimed Somerville concealed her true earnings
from the IRS by depositing most of her income into two
trusts. She created the Somerville Family Trust in 1990
"in an effort to keep her personal residence out of the
reach of an Internal Revenue Service tax lien," according
to the indictment.

The second tr! ust was the Advanced Chiropractic Clinic
Trust.

Somerville did not return telephone messages.

Advanced Chiropractic does not have a telephone listing,
but directory assistance gave the phone number for
Crystal Lake Chiropractic. That chiropractic clinic on
West Wilbur Avenue in Lake Mary shares the same address
as one of the business addresses listed for Somerville in
Florida corporate records.

In 1992 the chiropractor served as her own lawyer when
the state Fifth District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach
ruled that state insurance investigators illegally seized
her patient, billing and bank records.

The raid followed a nine-month investigation of her
practice, then on West Lake Mary Boulevard, that produced
eight counts of business fraud and one count of organized
fraud.

State prosecutors dropped the case, saying they could not
proceed without the seized records.

Unrelated charges of grand theft and forgery in a
separate case against Somerville were dropped in 1992
when prosecutors said they had witness problems.
