Some areas of California the land has dropped 30 feet due to water and oil wells.

The Atlantic Slave trade is directly reflected in the Caribbean Islands, Brazil, the U.S., ets. It was a foundational event for the fabric of many nations in the western hemisphere. So it has elevated importance in the histories of nations in the Americas. The Barbary slave trade comes up in U.S. history when discussing Thomas Jefferson’s management of the U.S.’s first foreign military conflict. It also is taught in World History courses.

I.e.

there is no point because we will die anyways

vs.

there is no point because no specific point is more important than any other specific point and therefore values are meaningless and arbitrary

maybe?

I'm not a historian but my impression is the Atlantic slave trade was heavily skewed towards transport to Brazil and the Caribbean with less than 10% being to America

Edit America being the US.

DEA= 🔌

No, don’t dig after bedrock or you’ll fall under the map brainiac

The answer I was looking for.

Yes, but now you've committed another crime, and tax fraud often can have significant criminal charges attached to it. So you're digging a deeper hole. Although if you will be prosecuted for it would depend on the govt's decision on what to charge you with. Its just adding up potential charges against you. However, there's an easy solution around this: Don't do illegal things.

Also, the US tax code is designed to progressive tax the increase of wealth regardless of the source.

>its not happening unless you break the law

I mean that's already happening it's illegal income

You just check a box and fill in the amount, it's not like they ask for your drug ledger or trafficking itinerary.

It's a catch 22 that they have on purpose.

If you have an illegal source of income and don't report it, then IRS will come after you because they'll notice the discrepancy between your spending and reported income, so they'll have probable cause to search/arrest you. This will then give evidence for other federal agencies.

And if you report you illegal income, then IRS will be happy but the other federal agencies will come after you because now they know about it and have probable cause to search/arrest you.

You just declare your income you don't declare the source.

If you want to face a source, you can do money laundering for that. The IRS doesn't care about the money being laundered or not, they just want you to declare the good amount.

Because the only slave trade that exists to people nowadays is the Atlantic slave trade, everything else is overshadowed by this. Which is a shame, as this isn't even taught properly.

If you are lucky

Ahh, I see. I'm sure this works, and if you can't find "dowsing rods," you can grab a tree branch that has a "Y" shape, and this can function as "dowsing rods"

That's exactly what I mean. Wont the IRS just report you right away for having illegal sources of income? Why on earth would you do so?

The IRS wouldn’t come after you for being a drug dealer/weapons smuggler. That doesn’t meant the DEA or ATF wouldn’t.

The Atlantic Slave trade had a huge impact on the course of the Americas. Entire populations were displaced, entire wars were fought, large portions of empires rose and fell on its fortunes. It was a large endeavor and it impacted the history of the United States greatly, which has gone on to impact the history of the world greatly. So it is studied in great detail because those who influence media and culture have a vested interest in it, more so than they have an interest in some other episodes of history.

Holding two "dowsing rods" in your hands and letting them "lead" you to groundwater. It doesn't work, of course. The reason that it looks like it works is the fact mentioned in other comments that there is groundwater pretty much everywhere.

You must report ALL income. Nothing else is relevant. Did you make income? The law states it must be reported.

If you're going to the fifth amendment route, you aint even the 100 millionth person to think of it, and the courts have already decided it, and it is as I said, you must report ALL income. In theory you can not report the "source" of some income, but it still must be reported... I know you're looking for some out or way around it, its not happening unless you break the law.

I know little to nothing about greek education. I don't even know if it is public. My best guess would be the heavy influence that America has had on your history curriculums, but this sounds like a question that would best be posed somewhere a little bit more specific to your part of the world.

It sounds like it should be in your history education but isn't.
