No name doesn't mean no tax, Yukoner finds out

A Whitehorse man who tried to thwart tax collectors by claiming he doesn't have a name has been fined more than $3,000.
(一位白马村村民因自称没有名字而企图逃避缴税被判罚款3000元)
Cliff Hanna was convicted in territorial court late last month of failing to file income tax returns for the past three years.
(Cliff Hanna因过去三年以来没有报过收入税而被判有罪。)
He attempted to persuade the justice of the peace, Garry Burgess, that he is a free man who owes the government nothing.
In a sworn affidavit, he declared that the name James Clifford Hanna was put on his birth certificate many years ago in Alberta without his permission. He disclaimed responsibility for debts or obligations the government may now assign to that name.
He said people continue to be defrauded into believing their birth certificates oblige them to obey demands of the Crown. He added there is no record anywhere that he ever accepted the Hanna name.
The fact he occasionally responds to the name means nothing, Hanna said.
(Hanna说事实上即使他有时也对那个名字做出回应，但并不代表那个名字就是他的名字。)
"I respond to 'Uncle' from my niece and nephews, and 'Meow' from my aunt's cats, but it is doubtful that any of these is my true name," he argued in court documents.
(“比如我侄儿和侄女叫我叔叔的时候，我也会答应。我婶婶的猫咪喵喵叫的时候，我也会答应。但这些都不是我的名字”，他本人向法官辩解到。)
As far as he is concerned, the name James Clifford Hanna is "hearsay."
It is the property and creation of the Crown, he said. "If you wish to collect debt instruments (Canadian legal tender) ... may I suggest you send your invoice and demand for performance to the ministry responsible" in Alberta, he said.
The justice of the peace imposed the minimum fine plus a surcharge for a total of $3,450.
(总共费用3450元)
