Deductions & credits

You are pretty spot on as to how I think about it.  Taxation is two things:  theft and voluntary. The Viners that pay tax on the items they receive, do so voluntarily and once you do so, setting a precedent, the IRS holds you to that.  These payers also get very mean and nasty to those who see it differently and do not offer to pay taxes.  I believe the 6 month rule and the inflated ETV are the factors that cause this theory to not hold water.
