Optional Liberties

November 1 2000 at 6:07 AM
 

Some rights occur by operation of law. Others are optional - you can either claim them or waive these rights.

Example: Right to not testify against yourself in a criminal trial.

Premise: The "liberties" or God given rights that most people(patriot/freedom movment) say the government deprives them of are called "civil liberties" or optional rights. You waive these rights by not claiming them properly.

Example: Common law immunity of not taxing compensation for personal labor.

You have an option - paying taxes on all revenue recieved or not. You claim this option (and several others) by learning how the system works.

Some of these rights you do not have - until you claim them properly. Example:
The government is authorized to presume you owe income taxes on all money paid. You have to perform certain acts to overcome the "presumption". The right to not pay taxes does not exist as an operation of law - you have to claim it properly by filing out the proper forms.

Other rights are claim within litigation, etc.

Try a right that you percieve government denies you. Post it and discuss it.
