This is so unfair.... 34998@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 16 May 2008 12:39:11 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34988 Still can't understand why our government would not want to refund an unconstitutionally collected tax.... 34988@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 16 May 2008 11:20:43 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34984 So, the government can threaten "or else" to collect an unconstitutional tax and get by with it? I can't imagine anyone being against this bill.... 34984@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 16 May 2008 10:47:45 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34982 That this is even being debated is frightening.... 34982@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 16 May 2008 10:45:19 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34974 Unconstitutional means unconstitutional. I hope our government does the right thing.... 34974@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 16 May 2008 09:28:31 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34897 I would hope that our government would behave in a responsible manner and refund any illegally collected tax monies in a timely manner.... 34897@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 15 May 2008 11:00:30 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34862 I can't believe the government would profit by instituting an unconstitutional tax and not refunding it.... 34862@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 14 May 2008 19:33:43 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34814 This bill would help heal the small coal operators.... 34814@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 14 May 2008 09:44:49 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34718 I operated a small coal company during the 90's. We were barely a breakeven operation. It makes me sick that the government can illegally take money out of my business and not pay me back. I'm not a big coal company who can make up this later. I provided jobs for 50 employees for over 10 years and have nothing to show for it. It has been implied that I should have known that the tax was unconstitutional. When people pay their taxes, they always assume that the government could not tax them illegally. If we cannot assume this, then everyone needs to file a claim against the IRS every time they pay a tax just incase the tax is not constitutional.... 34718@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 13 May 2008 13:08:23 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34632 What reasons would the government possibly have NOT to refund an unconstitutional tax? If money was collected in such a manner, it should be refunded.... 34632@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 12 May 2008 20:39:39 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34589 I cannot understand why anyone would be opposed to a bill that refunds money that the government illegally took. People that are against this bill need to consider how they would feel if the government illegally taxed them. This is not about coal; this is about our government being held accountable... 34589@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 12 May 2008 12:29:50 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34338 How can the government justify collecting an unconstitutional tax and then refusing to refund it?... 34338@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 09 May 2008 10:07:16 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34252 The coal companies were even forced to pay penalties and interest if they failed to pay this unconstitutional tax.... 34252@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 08 May 2008 13:25:26 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34250 Our Government is not above the constitution.... 34250@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 08 May 2008 12:59:36 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34039 The government should not be able to take money, call it a tax, and then be allowed to keep the money after the "tax" is declared unconstitutional.... 34039@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 06 May 2008 19:42:12 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#34013 It is extremely unfair of the government to collect an unconstitutional tax and then refuse to refund the money. The federal government should not be able to take money from companies at will, leaving businesses with no recourse for recovering their losses.... 34013@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 06 May 2008 15:18:12 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#33996 How scary is it that the government could collect money in an unconstitutional manner to begin with, but then called on it, still refuse to repay it.... 33996@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 06 May 2008 13:04:11 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_373.html#33989 This was not a tax. It was an unconstitutional taking of money from the coal companies that were struggling in the 80's and 90's. This government does not debate the fact that this was an unconstitutional taking. If this was oil companies that was illegaly taxed, then I'm sure they would be compensated.... 33989@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 06 May 2008 12:20:43 EDT
