Man Faces Life in Prison for Paying Employees in Gold Coins Text sizeJOAN WHITELYLas Vegas Review-JournalMay 26, 2009Robert Kahre, who owns numerous construction businesses in Las Vegas, is standing trial on 57 counts of income tax evasion, tax fraud and criminal conspiracy. If convicted on most counts, he could live out his life in prison. But attorney William Cohan paints Kahre as an American “hero” who believes his payroll system helped keep the U.S. monetary system sound, and was also a form of legal tax avoidance. A self-made entrepreneur, Kahre, 48, paid his workers in gold and silver coin, and said they could go by the coins’ face value — rather than the much higher market value of their precious metal content — for federal tax purposes. He did not withhold taxes from their wages, and he provided the same payroll system to 35 outside clients, which were other local businesses.Judge David Ezra is presiding over the criminal trial, which began May 19 in U.S. District Court. Joining Kahre as defendants are his longtime girlfriend, a sister who works in his businesses, and a former business assistant.Three of the four present defendants were among the nine people tried on similar charges two years ago, but no convictions resulted. In the 2007 trial, four others of the nine defendants, including Kahre’s mother, were entirely acquitted. Two individuals were only partially acquitted, but dropped from the indictment that forms the basis for the trial before Ezra.

Instead, go into more debt, and buy real value with your debt, ie, cash advance your credit cards, buy gold with it, now you have real value while sticking it to the banksters. When the price of gold rises, you sell the gold, pay off your debt and actually profit from it. So fuck debtcrisissolutions, debt is only a crisis for the banksters. Let them and debtcrisissolutions fucking rot in hell.camels-nose-under-the-tent-flap Reply:May 26th, 2009 at 5:29 pmwhy do the inforwars monitors allow commercial posts but delete responses to real questions and ideas that have real world value?…this debt crisis soultion post has appeared on most every thread and I get deleted because I say something about obama?Gold Bug Reply:May 27th, 2009 at 12:12 amI wish I could get paid in gold coins.Below is the key to stopping world domination.

All safe deposit boxes inbanks or financialinstitutions have been sealed,pending action in the due course of thelaw. All sales or purchasesor movements of such gold andsilver within the borders of the UnitedStates and its territories,and all foreign exchangetransactions or movements of such metalsacross the border are herby prohibited.“Your possession of theseproscribed metals and/or your maintenanceof a safe-deposit box tostore them is known to theGovernment from bank and insurancerecords. Therefore, be advisedthat your vault box must remainsealed, and may only be opened in thepresence of an agent ofThe Internal Revenue Service.“By lawful Order given this day,the President of the United States.”In this act of theft, the citizens of the United States of America were compensated at the “official” price of $20.67 an ounce. That was the “official” price of gold for 97 years. Following the confiscation, the dollar was devalued by 40% - and the price of gold was revalued upwards to $35 an ounce.”Taken from: http://www.reformation.org/roo....._gold.html
