Brian, this comment goes beyond the scope of what my post is about, and I want everyone to understand that I do not endorse this approach. While I haven't done much research on this, I know that Irwin Schiff, Peter Schiff's father, was a staunch believer that the Federal Income Tax was illegal and he wrote many books about it. He may have been right, but he died in jail because of his views. If people follow your advice and stop paying taxes and then get arrested, are you going to bail them out? Are you going to take responsibility for their lost income, and legal expenses? We have to keep our priorities straight, and that means that we have to ensure that the Constitution is upheld and freedom is preserved, which will happen via the States and the people. There are ways to address the tax issue, but that is secondary to maintaining our freedom.
