2 the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, except as otherwise noted. In the petition as originally filed herein, petitioners alleged that they were residents and citizens of Texas and were not subject to United States taxes; that they filed "Fifth Amendment" returns of income and were justified in doing so; that the U.S. tax system is voluntary and petitioners have not elected to file returns thereunder; that petitioners do not understand the legal requirements of filing income tax returns; and petitioners further alleged certain amounts with respect to their gross receipts, adjustments to gross receipts, deductions, and exemptions for the years 1990 and 1991. Finally, petitioners alleged respondent owes them the total of $8,345 for both years. Respondent filed a motion to dismiss herein for failure to state a claim. The Court ordered a new petition, with specific errors of respondent alleged therein, and specific allegations of facts, and the grounds, which petitioners rely upon. Petitioners replied to respondent's motion to dismiss, asserting generally the same protester claims as in the petition, and adding a few others, including allegations that the Federal Government was engaged in "plundering" petitioners. After a hearing by the Court, all petitioners' lengthy protester rhetoric was ordered stricken by the Court, except for paragraph 2 of petitioners' response to respondent's motion whichPage: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next
