Pac-Man/ Joe – Well acc. to what I read here on the CR, that Dina Dmalchusa Dina only applies in a country where they treat e/o equally, he definitely should have said it!
I’ll give one example -J. Pollard -1. Gov. reneging on their plea bargain for no apparent reason. 2. No spy who got caught spying for a friendly country ever got such a harsh sentence in the good ole USA!
I have many examples, including the way I was treated in court.
So unless there is another reason to pay your taxes other than Dina Dmachulsa Dina or that poster is incorrect about treating e/o equally regarding D.M.D., why should you, if you’re not afraid of getting caught? And this would go on lying on Gov. applications also. It’s not stealing because they give out the money anyway, it’s just not following their guidelines which only would be not keeping D.M.D., if D.M.D. applied! This isn’t a Psak Halacha, just looking for opinions.
