Puhleeze!
You know how it will turn out. The IRS SWAT team will land on this knuckledragger with both feet. The amount of force brought to bear on him will be excessive and unreasonable.
However, the wound will be self inflicted. I encourage every tax-paying citizen to avoid paying any tax they LEGALLY can, but those taxes that you do owe MUST be paid.
Otherwise, the gov will lock you up and throw away the key. In the tax court, you are guilty until you can prove you are innocent.

"Otherwise, the gov will lock you up and throw away the key"

Yep, they will...but one thing about that: when they do it to all of us, none of us will no longer be paying taxes, but instead, they will have to use tax funds to keep us locked up with 3 meals/day, free tv, clean clothes and a dry bed.....Something has got to give in this evil scheme and I'm afraid it is going to take mass tax revolt by the working stiffs in this country to get the message across to our esteemed elected leaders in Congress. They are the ones that are guilty, not the IRS. The IRS is just enforcing what these looters have bestowed upon us.
I've always said to myself that when over 50% of my earned income (and I've paid out my FICA every year since 1973 so the govt. probably considers me one of the "rich", I guess) is taken from me in this evil redistribution program (soon to become reparations program), I would no longer voluntarily participate in it. How can I not participate? Easy, I will have no income: ie; just quit working. I hit the 50% mark this year. It won't be long before I just quit working as an "employee" and just live off whatever I can in govt. handouts and whatever I can grow on my land. But I can assure you, it won't be long before NO more income tax payments from me. I'm just another productive member of society that has just about had it and ready to "drop out" of the system.
Who is John Gault?

I believe that is what he is doing. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not that well educated on the subject, but having looked at his arguments, they appear to make sense. Perhaps someone who knows what they are talking about would let me know what they think.

Sit back, take just a second, and re-read what you wrote above (excerpted here). Now.........think very, very carefully about the country in which you live and the words you wrote, including your characterization of this guy as a "knuckledragger".

I'd suggest you would have made a great little Nazi Party member.
