From Ron Goranson of Dallas (Milner, Goranson, etc.), this trial excerpt from the cross-examination of an IRS undercover agent by Dallas lawyer G. Thomas Rhodus.
Q. Now, will you agree with me that there are certainly areas where the tax laws are complex?
A. Certainly.
Q. Okay. And technical?
A. Certainly.
Q. Okay. Would you agree with me that there are areas where the tax laws don’t necessarily comport with what a person’s common sense might tell him?
A. Congress wrote the tax laws.
The Court: Ours is not to reason why.
Mr. Rhodus: Very good. Thank you. But – let’s not send this transcript to Washington. Okay?
