An affirmation; a positive assertion; a solemn declaration. This word is seldom, if ever used for a declaration made under oath, but denotes a declaration accompanied with solemnity/seriousness or as an appeal to conscience, whereas by an oath one appeals to God as a witness of the truth of what one says.
A rule of evidence that makes a person prove a certain thing or the contrary will be assumed by the court. For example, in criminal trials, the prosecution has the burden of proving the accused guilt because innocence is presumed.
FOIA is the secret key to unlock a vast amount of information, especially information about you.
WHAT IS FOIA? The Freedom of Information Act.
Thanks to this act, everyday citizens have access to records, files, and other information just for the asking. Of course you are required to use the proper format in your request, but extremely valuable information can be obtained by using this simple procedure that very few use.
WHY USE FOIA?
The IRS, for instance, keeps literally countless secret files on citizens (law-abiding or not) of the United States. Most folks would be interested in knowing what kind of information is being kept on them by the government. By using FOIA, you can find out what they know what they don't..... in addition to protecting yourself and building your case against them.
Deniability - having the attribute of being contradictable or deniable.
Plausible - the nature of an explanation appearing right within itself, but superficial in its appearance; specious.
Example: The District Director of the IRS can deny his knowledge of occurrences of corruption and illegality within his District of the IRS, such as the IRS collecting an income tax on remuneration as opposed to gross income, as they may not have been investigated, discovered, or reported. Such an argument appears to be right, and might be, but is revealed as wrong when our letters regarding the law are brought forward and reveal that he had been informed of all legal improprieties and questions.
Our strategy is to remove his specious explanation of the continued lawlessness by informing him of the illegalities occurring beneath his Office in the name of his Office.
Prima facie evidence - (of a fact) (Law), evidence
which is sufficient to establish the fact unless rebutted.
--Bouvier.
Although "remuneration" looks as if it might mean "repayment" it usually means simply "payment." In speech it is often confused with "enumeration," re-counting (counting again).
When you rebut someone's argument you argue against it. To refute someone's argument is to prove it incorrect. Unless you are certain you have achieved success, use "rebut."
It is important for a clear understanding, to bear in mind, that there are two distinct legal definitions for the term 'Wages' as used in the IRS tax code.
There are 'wages' for the purposes of the 'Income tax'... the tax collected by Sec. 3402 is the Subtitle A Income tax.
And there are 'wages' for the purposes of 'Social Security'... . We know that the chapter 21 tax is a tax on "wages" with respect to "employment". For the purpose of chapter 21 "employment" relates to an international agreement (SSN) or persons working within the federal zone or for companies founded in the federal zone (defs in Sec. 3121) .
They are two different 'wages', for two different purposes, described in two different chapters of the Internal Revenue code, and about the only things that they have in common are that their collection statutes reside in Subtitle C of the IRC and that they are both to be withheld (required by law) from the remuneration of 'foreigners' only.
In the Taxgate website, when we mention the term 'wages', we are (9 times out of 10) discussing the term 'wages' with respect to 'Income tax' that is imposed upon the 'Gross Income' as differentiated from 'wages' that are associated with the 'Social Security' act.
