If taxes were illegal, this wouldn’t have happened.

“seeking a permanent injunction against Debra Windham”

What’s wrong with the idea of putting her in jail?

If taxes were illegal,

If taxes were illegal, there'd be a black market in paying taxes. People would be paying their taxes on the sly, in some filthy, dark alley somewhere instead of some nice, clean CPA's office.
